Hate is on the rise—and it’s showing up in ways that should alarm every single one of us. We’re seeing violent attacks targeting people for who they are, what they believe, or how they choose to live. That’s unacceptable. (1/2)

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

1/2 A Southwest flight was reportedly diverted mid-air under the excuse of refueling—but it was actually for an ICE raid. Armed officers stormed the plane, searched a passenger’s bag in front of everyone, & removed them. Aviation workers say this is not normal protocol. This wasn’t about safety.

What happens to women when they are denied an abortion? Short run: their risk of death rises. A full 15 years later, they experience: more health issues, lower attainment, reduced labor-force participation, higher single motherhood, higher poverty, + greater government assistance

Can you imagine next year? When we don't have supplies from overseas? When domestic goods can't be processed & transported? When (more) people have died due to cold, hunger, homelessness, disease, despair, hate? When we remember it wasn't always like this? When we remember this was done to us?

Is there a quota ICE is trying to meet? Feels more about numbers than justice. Documented immigrants are showing up to court, having their cases dismissed—and instantly becoming undocumented, then detained on the spot. A student seized on the way to volleyball. Moms ripped from their kids…

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.
