Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Trump moving troops to LA & DC without providing cots or meals is designed to keep them off balance and angry. He wants the military feeling that way when they are on our streets because he wants lethal confrontations. He is a scared little boy playing with toy soldiers. We will all pay the price.

The Supreme Court gave him immunity from prosecution. The Republican Congress can still impeach him any time they feel like restoring our democracy, ending his corruption, saving our medical research and health care, and/or salvaging any sort of alliances for the US in the world. #impeach

When Trump says you can fly there for $2, is he saying within California or to California? In either case, perhaps the racist uncle with terminal dementia and anger management problems should be removed from office.

Anyone saying that we can’t abolish ICE clearly doesn’t remember that it didn’t exist until 2003, when the DHS was established by legislation. Prior to that we had INS— the N standing for Naturalization, meaning helping immigrants along the path to citizenship. A society that doesn’t

Immigrants are extremely good and cool. I want more immigrants in this country for a whole shitload of reasons. They contribute to culture. They contribute to the economy. I've always liked having them as neighbors. Someone please invent a pro-immigration politician so I can vote for them.

"Just following orders" is no excuse. If you are in ICE, LAPD, or CA National Guard, and you can't figure out how to resign instead of attacking innocent people, CALL IN SICK.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

What ICE is doing is unAmerican. What Trump is doing is unAmerican. We do not tear gas peaceful protestors. We do not use American soldiers on our own soil to fight Americans. We do not kidnap people who have committed no crime. Do not let them redefine American values. We must be loud about this.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

I have many angry things I want to say about the violence perpetrated in Boulder and DC and the noxious bloodlust that followed. But in truth, the people who need to do the reflection work are clearly unwilling. My angry screams into the Internet doesn’t solve that. 1/x

To make it clear for folks who've never thought about what a $2000 asset test does to people on Medicaid/SNAP: 🔹️It keeps them in the lowest paying jobs 🔹️It creates access barriers to work. (In many places, how are you going to get there, when you're not allowed to save for a car? I knew... 🧵1/5

There are going to be a lot of companies asking for their bribes back. Those hundreds of deals he was bragging about were companies paying him for exceptions to the tariffs. Once this regime is deposed, we need a forensic accounting and financial justice.

Hegseth has texted me Elon's plan to build the Golden Dome. Elon is going to tell the self-driving Teslas to think of incoming missiles as pedestrians, and that way they'll run into a bunch of them by accident. He's just trying to solve the problem of getting a million Teslas airborne.

📣 The Adoptee Citizenship Act did not get passed by Congress, nor did it receive a hearing in 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2024. A new bill is expected to be brought forth sometime in 2025 This is why it matters now more than ever. #AdopteeCitizenshipAct #Immigration #Deportation

I have a follow-up question for the White House: Is "personal time" like Purge time? No rules? Corruption, bribery, hunting humans for sport -- are there any limits during personal time? I have a second follow-up question: Is the president aware that he doesn't have immunity during personal time?

The lies from Trump NIH director Bhattacharya are killing people. His COVID-contrarian stance, which has served billionaires and oligarchs so well, now will result in thousands of deaths, due to interference with this miraculous mRNA combo vaccine. Who decreased trust in science? Bhattacharya did.
