But they're coming for everybody who isn't a rich, straight, white, Christian man.
The antidote is solidarity and collective action. They want to divide us; we must stand united, together.
Throwing people you don't like or don't want to see behind bars is textbook authoritarianism. Trump is testing out fascist polices on groups he believes to have little public sympathy- like folks who sleep outside.

Cuts to USAID funding meant cuts to a Carter Center project in Bangladesh, one that empowers women through access to information. Learn about the women we’ve served, what the loss of funding means, and how the Center is determined to move forward.

8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0.
If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.
7/ You may not think this case matters to you. But Abrego Garcia was legally in the U.S., just like all the rest of us. His status as an immigrant doesn't matter as a matter of law.
If Trump can lock up or remove ANYONE - no matter what the courts say - we are all at grave risk.
NEW: Trump to USA: There is no rule of law.
Today, Trump signaled he would not abide by court decisions and return to the US a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He won't even ask El Salvador to send him back. This is cruel & dangerous.
