An Injury to Immigrant Workers Is an Injury to All Workers | Common Dreams ​The Trump administration claims that its assault on immigrants will protect American workers. But its masked, armed federal agents are creating hostile environments for all workers, not just…

NEW: Upticks in immigration enforcement are associated with increased minimum wage violations and more dangerous workplaces for ALL workers.

Being pro-worker means being anti-ICE. @sarahlazare.bsky.social in @commondreams.org:

Our democracy works best when we all can participate. That’s why I voted against the SAVE America Act, which could disenfranchise millions of women who changed their last name after marriage. I didn't come to Congress to watch my daughter's generation have fewer rights than mine.

I Watched All Six Hours Of Bondi’s Testimony So You Didn’t Have To. She Protected Predators and Melted Down Completely. They want us to be silent. We’re getting louder.

Here's what happened:

AOC and Warren join forces in high-profile child care push ahead of midterms As Republicans urge Americans to have more children but offer few supportive policies, Democrats believe reducing child care costs could be a winning message.

When only the wealthy can afford peace of mind for their children, we've turned childhood into a privilege, not a promise.

I am proud to lead the Child Care for Every Community Act with @warren.senate.gov to cap childcare costs and fight for universal childcare.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

Is ICE building a “black box” detention center where you live?

The rogue agency is spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up empty warehouse space across the country to hold detainees.

Here’s what you should know — and what can be done about it.

ICE Taps into School Security Cameras to Aid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Police assisted federal immigration agents by repeatedly searching school cameras that record license plate numbers, data show.

Police often won’t question other agencies’ access to their automated license plate readers, EFF’s @maassive.bsky.social told @the74.bsky.social. “You know how maybe your grandparents approve every friend request they get on Facebook? It’s like that. It’s always been like that.”

Oregon GOP gubernatorial candidate skips Senate floor session for business event • Oregon Capital Chronicle None of the bills Drazan has sponsored involving business and economic issues survived a Monday deadline to schedule committee votes.

State Sen. Christine Drazan, running for governor for the second time, skipped voting on bills on Tuesday to meet with business owners at an Oregon City pub 20 miles outside the Senate district she represents.

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.

Abolish ICE.

That's a start.

With ICE using Medicaid data, hospitals and states are in a bind over warning immigrant patients • Oregon Capital Chronicle If hospitals don’t disclose that the patients’ information is shared with federal law enforcement, they might not know that their medical coverage puts them at risk of being located by Immigration…

The Trump administration’s move to give deportation officials access to Medicaid data is putting hospitals and states in a bind as they weigh whether to alert immigrant patients.
