Sorry to hear that!

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

I’m getting so many notifications in my email by the same people complaining about tax bills being proposed and also trying to get our new D governor in VA investigated, after only a couple of weeks in office. Seems coordinated because I’ve never seen so many before

None of this is normal

Kennedy Allies Target States to Overturn Vaccine Mandates for Schoolchildren

The nation’s immunization system is being weakened by conspiracy theorists. As outbreaks grow, children’s health is being put in danger by disinformation, leading to preventable illness, deaths, and long-term damage to public health protections.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Yeah I’m usually a team of one against my wife and daughter also lol. Thanks!

Ok, interested but our daughter can’t read well yet. Is that going to be a challenge?

Social Security Workers Are Being Told to Hand Over Appointment Details to ICE The recent request goes against decades of precedent and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

Owner of Michigan ICE detention center reported $254M profit last year GEO Group's profits soared last year as it opened four new immigration detention centers, including a largescale 1,800-bed facility in Northern Michigan.

"GEO Group reported $254 million in profits – up from nearly $32 million in 2024 – after it secured new federal contracts and opened four new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, detention facilities throughout the country."

Profiting from misery. American capitalism.

Just like we’ve been saying all along ICE is supposed to disclose a signed Judicial Warrant before entering any privately owned residence Church,School,Business,etc! These are just what Senator Blumenthal says a permission slip from another ICE agent to do something illegal.

"Ofelia was heroic and brave in the face of ICE's detention and threatened deportation of her father”…attorney representing Torres, said..”We mourn Ofelia's passing, and we hope that she will serve as a model for us all for how to be courageous and to fight for what's right to our last breaths."

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.

Laws restricting abortions linked to rise in 'abhorrently high' maternal mortality rates Rising state-level abortion restrictions in the United States were linked to a similar, parallel rise in maternal deaths from 2005 to 2023, according to research presented at The Pregnancy Meeting. ...

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔
