ICE is essentially using a trick to arrest people who are showing up for their civil court asylum hearings. Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst.” He’s targeting people who are following the rules. www.kuow.org/stories/ice-...

Donald Trump has been lying to you. He said his immigration crackdowns would only go after the “worst of the worst,” but he’s deporting people with legal status and even U.S. citizen children with cancer. Hands off our immigrant families. We won’t back down.

“Contrast our president’s concern for South Africa with his indifference—at best—to the fate of the Ukrainians. Has he ever expressed a word of sympathy for the Ukrainians—or the Uyghurs and others—who are under annihilationist assault day after day?” www.jaynordlinger.com/p/eternal-vi...

At yesterday's DHS budget hearing, Sec. Noem falsely claimed habeas corpus grants Trump power to deport people. Noem didn't even try to correct her error and as @tusk81.bsky.social notes, "throughout the hearing further refused to directly answer numerous questions concerning the rule of law."

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer laziness. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

Trump’s racist trolling of South Africa’s president today is perhaps the most racist WH moment since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915.

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

This is not a budget. This is a fascism authorization with a traitor bonus. But while the particulars of this budget are awful bc they deprive and kill Americans, the bigger problem is that Rs refuse to enforce ANY budget. This President has violated existing law, refused to execute the budget.

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth #Voices4Victory In an Energy Subcommittee hearing today, Lee Zeldin said the ENERGY STAR program could be taken over by a private entity. Wrong, Lee. EPA has a statutory obligation to run the program, which saves consumers and businesses 1,000 times more than it costs.

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

TPS allowed thousands of Venezuelan families who fled to the U.S. to live and work here legally. They are trying to do things the right way. Trump isn’t cracking down on "illegal" immigration—he’s taking away people's legal status and growing the number of undocumented people.

What is happening outside immigration courthouses in Phoenix is horrifying. These people are showing up for their court dates–doing exactly what is asked of them–and are being met with handcuffs. Mothers are being arrested in front of their children. It's sickening.

Yesterday: Sec Rubio claimed the US isn’t “withdrawing from the world”. Also yesterday: China pledges $500m to WHO, helping to cover the budget gap from US withdrawal. As the US cedes diplomatic goodwill built over decades of humanitarian work abroad, other countries will quickly fill the void.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.
