A woman is dead, kept alive as an incubator. Her family can’t grieve. This isn’t pro-life. It’s control. It’s cruelty. It’s stripping women of agency...even in death. If you support this, you’re complicit. Stand up. Speak out. Fight back. Or admit you’re okay with our girls having no rights.

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Adriana Smith was 9 weeks pregnant when she died. Her body has being kept ‘alive’ by machines for the last 3 months, (and is ongoing) forced to grow a foetus that has fluid in the brain and may not survive birth. All because of Georgia’s abortion ban. This is absolutely sickening.

I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campaign, he would make a point of saying the press is NOT the enemy of the people. Thinking of President Biden as he takes on this next battle. Godspeed Mr. President.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

In fact, it is offensively ridiculous to think that any but a handful of people disappeared by ICE will be able to file habeas corpus, because it relies on them having informed families with connections to available knowledgeable lawyers with time and resources to act instantly.
