It's time to #DeICETheseFlights. Add your name now: seiu.co/de-ice-flights
Fascism expands when we look away. Share this, organize, and support the groups fighting back.
Cruelty is a choice โ and so is resistance.

We need action:
โข Airlines end deportation contracts
โข End inhumane treatment of detained immigrants
โข End Trump regimeโs ICE terror campaign
โข Guarantee due process for every person on U.S. soil
People deserve dignity, not disappearance. Add your name: seiu.co/de-ice-flights #SEIUPartner @seiu.org
These airlines arenโt providing transportation. Theyโre enabling abuse. Reports show assaults, medical neglect, retaliation, and systemic violations of ICEโs own rules. Cruelty outsourced for convenience and monetized for profit. It must end.

This isnโt โborder security.โ Itโs state sanctioned white supremacy.
Did you know? These flights arenโt run by ICE but private airlines like Avelo, GlobalX, Eastern, and Omni profit from trauma funded by taxpayers. Corporate profit is strapped into every seat.

DOJ data shows 97% of people ICE detains in Chicago for deportation have NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Trump vowed to target โviolent criminals.โ He lied.
The past month: 8 immi judges fired, โremigration nowโ Nazi policy & deportations against court orders.

We need to #DeICETheseFlights. Since Trump took office, 200,000+ people have been separated from their families. Many forced onto ICE Air flights, shackled & flown thousands of miles in extreme heat, broken toilets, & no access to safety in an emergency.
But it gets worse.

DC area peeps: Cone see Durty Neil tomorrow night in Takoma Park! We play only relatively obscure (non radio) Neil Young covers. (Because sad songs make you feel good)
No cover charge but all band tips go to a local immigrant support group.

โฆand maybe others. So many mysteries and answers await us there on Earthโs neighboring twin, about climate change, the origin and fates of Earthlike planets, distribution and limits to life in the universe, and much more. Letโs go!

Beautiful mysterious cloud swirled Venus.
No U.S. spacecraft has entered that atmosphere since (unless you count Magellanโs dying moments) Now we are finally preparing to go back! (If the current administration doesnโt succeed in killing U.S. science) With two NASA spacecraft in the early 2030s, and sibling craft from Europe, Indiaโฆ
