NO warehouses for ICE detention centers! The Department of Homeland Security has a disturbing history of creating unsafe conditions for people being detained. Last summer, hundreds of people faced potential diseases from swarms of mosquitoes...

The policy will impose β€œtherapy” and β€œpsychotropic medication” until the inmates’ gender dysphoria is β€œresolved.”

The fascists’ game plan:
1.) Criminalize trans people’s existence;
2.) Incarcerate en masse;
3.) Torture & experiment on them
4.) Expand the policy to other queer people.

Last night we stood together with one clear message: No More War on Iran.
Hosted by IPSL, our community showed up loudly and peacefully to say that war isn’t the answer, diplomacy and human life always come first.
Thank you to everyone who came, spoke, and made their voice heard.

Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.

β€œCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said.

β€œThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.”

Colin Jost on SNL’s Weekend Update:

β€œDuring the State of The Union address, President Trump said 'our nation is back bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.'

A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: 

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. 

YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today.  

YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken β€œmajor operations” in Iran and has also said β€œU.S. lives might be lost.” 

YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately:  

- Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement
- Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House.
- Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization. 

YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly. 

YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]

We know a lot of people are choosing to boycott AI overall, and we support that. AI is terrible on the environment! At the same time, we understand many people still use AI tools. If you’re going use AI please delete the ChatGPT app, and switch to Claude by Anthropic instead.
