These people are, in essence, sentenced to death. We know that's what incarceration does to people -- their lives are permanently shortened, even if they survive custody. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-rec...

I think a lot of people today are so far removed from the past that they forget that infant mortality was once so high that it skewed life expectancy down to 35.

I don't think as many Jews are concerned by Mamdani as it might appear. IMO leaders, orgs, and people with the biggest megaphones are the ones more scared. That doesn't mean all fears are illegitimate, but it does mean that as always, the majority of Jewish voices are being ignored or silenced.

I need you to understand that the constant litmus tests, asking Jews to prove ourselves to you, has made this process even more torturous because you’ve forced us to publicly declare war on each other and you won’t give your allies any public safe space to discuss the details of how we’re agonizing.

You guys, Mamdani was the only Democratic candidate running who categorically opposed mask bans He was running against an establishment man with name recognition, huge amounts of funding & a history of abandoning the most vulnerable to die of covid This feels like a huge win for vulnerable people

Hoping we'll all have a little less patience for defeatism, moaning about the electorate and democracy, etc. We can win. It is not a given that we will. But if you aren't willing to see it as a possibility or think creatively about how to get there, politics isn't for you.

This INFURIATES me, and this is what us survivor advocates have been saying for years. Keeping local police and ICE separate is a domestic violence issue. Victims won’t call the police if they fear deportation, which emboldens their abusers and escalates risk. This isn’t public safety.

New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...

$75 BILLION in supplemental funding to expand ICE enforcement operations inside the U.S., including hiring thousands more agents to brutalize, kidnap and traffic people. “In comparison, ICE’s entire 2024 budget did not exceed $9 billion. The bill would also quadruple the budget for border patrol.”

13 women risked their safety and livelihoods to reveal how Andrew Cuomo treated them. It’s easy to forget just how bad it was—so let their words remind you. And share them with any voter you know who’s still on the fence. (and, help us run this as a final ad: actblue.com/donate/dream...)

Fuck the polls. Don't fucking rank Cuomo. That's it. That's the assignment. You don't even have to _like_ Mamdani, just don't rank the sex pest who is endorsed and funded by nazis & the ultra-rich, only wants this to run for pres later, and WHO DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING GO HERE!

Yes, this is valid! But also: the courts as a whole HAVE been trying to protect us. They've made stupendous rulings. But they, too, are up against SCOTUS. They've bought us five months so far, a window in which serious opposition has really begun to rise. As citizens, we now have to move faster.

ICE was created in 2003 with the help of mass marketing exploiting people's fears and prejudices, and with overwhelming support from both parties. A vocal minority predicted correctly that ICE would become an instrument of mass terror against all of us. Trans people are warning us similarly today.
