Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Why does the president trust and repeat Putin's lies? Countries around the world can vote by mail and the US has been doing it securely since the civil war.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Five Things to Know About the SAVE Act The House of Representatives will vote this week on H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act). Introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), the SAVE Act requires voters to provide docu...

The SAVE Act’s goal is to prevent non-citizens from voting in US elections, which is very very rare.

“But there are easier, more cost-effective ways to improve citizenship verification that don’t create new barriers for eligible voters.”

For all of you Republicans championing the SAVE Act, you might want to re-think that. You know it will affect your voters too. You sure it’s a good idea? 👇

For those who haven’t read the SAVE Act, here is a 1 page summary, please read! democrats-cha.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Kansas once required voters to prove citizenship. That didn't work out so well Republicans made claims about illegal voting by noncitizens a centerpiece of their 2024 campaign messaging.

Republicans make claims about voter fraud and are pushing the SAVE Act, proof of US citizenship.

Kansas passed their own SAVE Act 10 years ago and it was a FIASCO! 31k Kansans were WRONGFULLY barred from voting, and it was overturned.
Tell your Senators NO SAVE Act!🧵 apnews.com/article/kans...

Let's end this outrage. Vote in the midterms! US citizen abroad? go to votefromabroad.org.

The SAVE America Act would disenfranchise Americans living abroad The “SAVE America Act” is a rebranded version of the anti-voter SAVE Act, and its new name should not fool anyone.

“1.3 million Americans living abroad received ballots…Requiring in-person registration inside the US, combined with repeated documentation demands at multiple stages of the voting process, would almost entirely shut US citizens living abroad out of elections.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

🚨 The House is expected to vote on the "SAVE" America Act TODAY. 📃

☎️ NOW is the time to call. And 2 birds with one stone: tell them to hold the line on DHS reforms, including passing the Bivens Act. 📞

🚨 Tell your Representatives to insist on including the Bivens act, which would expose federal officials to accountability for unconstitutional behavior (the same as state and local officials are) with any DHS agreement

A graphic with a blue background that has the words "thank you voters" repeated all the way to the bottom. A photo of Taylor Rehmet in a suit is next to the shape of the State of Texas with the words "+17 points in a red district!!" in it. Below this, it says "Congratulations Taylor Rehmet. TX Senate District 9. And thank you Texas voters abroad for making your voices heard!" The DA logo is at the bottom.

Congratulations to Taylor Rehmet on a major upset in the red Texas Senate District 9! From a +17 for Trump to a 34 point swing in Rehmet’s favor!

Proof that anything is possible when we register, show up, and VOTE!

SAVE Act, ICE funding…
A Pennsylvania voter calling her Senator! 🙂📲

Calling your legislators literally takes minutes, as you can see in this video. It will be the most productive 2 minutes of your day. Go directly to the people who actually have the power to take action.🧵 @demsabroad.bsky.social

Be sure to ask them to include the Bivens Act to ensure federal agents can be held accountable!

Great work DANZ!
Now it’s on to Australia!

Opinion | A Law That Might Just Save the Midterms

Gift link.
"...the Bivens Act. It’s remarkably simple. It would amend Section 1983 by stating that officials 'of the United States' can be held liable on the same basis as officials of any state.
That’s the bill. And it’s worth shutting down the Department of Homeland Security to get it passed."

These are all good but there's NO ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM PROVIDED. We need:
-universal, nationwide injunction authority
-right of states and localities to investigate/prosecute
-codify Bivens, right to sue ICE/no qualified immunity

🚨 Tell your Representatives to insist on including the Bivens act, which would expose federal officials to accountability for unconstitutional behavior (the same as state and local officials are) with any DHS agreement
