Hi
ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday
Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere
If you have any national platform at all
Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us
You cannot be saying this when there are many MANY pictures of you gleefully ripping apart homeless camps.

βThere is no moral difference between telling people they can have a shower so you can gas them in gas chambers and telling people they can have food so you can shoot them at aid sites. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent.β

The ACA was signed into law 15 years ago. So not quite decades yet but pretty close.

Maybe Schumer should take notes from Mitch on how to be effective opposition.
ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.
This 940-page reconciliation bill has a list of horrific provisions. One of the worst is a $211 billion tax break to the top 0.2% who inherit $30 million.
In this bill 16 million lose health care & hungry kids lose nutrition. Meanwhile, billionaires get much richer. Disgusting.
βICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corpsβ is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

This is a police state.
When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I meanβ¦
Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like itβs a fucking war zone.
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
BREAKING: βLAPD caught on video beating an elderly man with a baton after declaring the protest an βunlawful assembly.β

Are we really fucking doing this.
Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.
