I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an ā€œASMRā€ video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, itā€™s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

She can be mad. Cry more.

Make them mad! t.co/YB5ZEeB9eE

All I know is it seems like it could be real easy to #abolishICEandCBP instead of you know, the useful departments.

Hey you - yeah YOU, person who called your senators, visited their office, attended a rally, or sent an email this week. Check out what you're capable of. Keep it up.

Our undocumented neighbors have rights, and they deserve to know them. Please join me, Team Clarke, experts, and advocates for tonightā€™s ā€œKnow Your Rights" Webinar at 6:30PM for the information you need to keep you, your family, and your community safe. Register here: tinyurl.com/YDCKYR

Loved talking to Stacey Abrams about how Trumpā€™s anti-immigrant agenda hurts our communities, economy and safety especially alongside important leaders like @jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

This is not a binary. Many hardworking people who care for their children have also had contact with the criminal legal system. We should all see events like this and recognize, nothing here is about ā€œsafety.ā€ Itā€™s life ruining and brutal for absolutely no purpose.

Trump and his allies hope that if they keep flooding the zone with horrifying actions, we wonā€™t notice all of them. They hope weā€™ll get demoralized. They hope weā€™ll curl into a ball and let them do whatever they want. We wonā€™t give them the satisfaction. Weā€™ll keep fighting back.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

And if thereā€™s a Nazi at a table with ten people, then there are 11 Nazis.

Sadly, this is totally relevant to Americans today.

At least it wasnā€™tā€¦ now you canā€™t guarantee that šŸ« 

The chaos continues: Today, the Trump administration tried to shut down federal funding. A federal judge has blocked the order until Monday. Today has made it clear the Trump administration does not care about us. Theyā€™re willing to put our lives at risk to push their agenda. Hereā€™s why ā¬‡ļøšŸ§µ

lol stupid

Heā€™s stupid. Just loud and wrong. Wish heā€™d stick to being an ugly vampire.

These ICE raids are shameful, dangerous and must be strongly opposed.

Itā€™s on. #boycotttarget

This is so deceitful @jonfavs.bsky.social

I will never take Rs OR Ds seriously about deporting immigrants who are supposedly criminals when we have elected a rapist and a felon to office.

This is just another scheme to line the pockets of the wealthy at the cost of immigrant lives.

DURBIN: I wonder if we ought to give fair warning to farmers and ranchers that if you have immigrant labor, you can expect federal agents to come and search your property. Is that in the future under the mass deportation plan? BROOKE ROLLINS *word salad*

The State Department cancelled flights for refugees who were already approved to enter the United States before January 27th. More proof of the Trump administrationā€™s xenophobia and intent to cause chaos. So let's fight back: actionnetwork.org/forms/when-w...

Just gonna keep quoting this over and over again from @joshtpm.bsky.social: "the job of an opposition party is to oppose." This doesn't have to be complicated!

My godā€¦ pathetic. They donā€™t want to work with you. Make that clear to your constituents. Stop pretending this can work. Did you not see the EOs from their leader?!?

Internment camps for the people detained because of the Laken Riley Act that just passed and Alien Enemies Act.

āš ļøSAVE THIS THREAD āš ļø Today, ICE is ramping up mass raids across the country. We know itā€™s scary, but thatā€™s Trumpā€™s ultimate goal: to scare us and cause chaos. We knew this was coming, and weā€™re ready for it. Hereā€™s what you can do if youā€™re approached by an immigration agent ā¬‡ļøšŸ§µ

So they know how to do this and stand up to Republicans, they just wonā€™t do it for immigrants.

46 House Dems and 12 Den Senators voted for this bill they are all complicit in Trumpā€™s white nationalist agenda.

I once had to explain to someone in the military, in grad school, that undocumented people had rights. I had to ask him if ā€œlaw of the landā€ meant anything if it only applied to some people on that land? If someone can be held accountable by the same law that grants rights, then both sides apply?

If undocumented people are not the jurisdiction of the US, then the Laken Riley Act is unenforceable?

Trump revealing that it was never about fentanyl, human trafficking, sex trafficking. HSI is not the ā€œgood part of ICEā€ and why we canā€™t abolish it. Dems getting caught with their pants down for going along w these excuses.

Today, Trump takes office. And we arenā€™t going anywhere. We know that Trumpā€™s cruelty knows no bounds. We know that decisions like Fridayā€™s 5th Circuit Court decision on DACA are paving the way for mass deportations. Itā€™s not going to be an easy fight ahead, and yet, we are here to stay.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Woke up thinking about all the families separated & decimated by deportation. Like Tina Hamdi deported in 2017 from her Ohio hometown after nearly her entire life in the U.S. She had DACA & was torn from her two US citizen children.šŸ’” Her deportation didnā€™t make anyone safer or fix our broken system.

ā€œIf you witness someone being detained by ICE, you have the right to record as long as you do not interfere with the arrest. Pictures, videos, and any information you can gather, can help verify an immigration raid and also help someone's immigration case.ā€

ā€œICE will not always identify themselves as ICE. If there is a knock at your door and they say ā€˜Policeā€™ it could very well be ICE. ICE will often say they are police to gain access to homes. If at any point they try to enter, or do enter, continue to say ā€˜I DO NOT CONSENT.ā€™ā€

Would love for Dems to talk like this about private detention contractors, and point out mass deportations will only serve to line their pockets while destroying our economy and raising prices of everything.

Given all his bluster over dreamers, the most charitable version of events is that he didnā€™t read the bill, and she lied which she has in the past and now here we are.

Republicans are liars

You can use this tool from @indivisible.org to tell your U.S. senators to vote NO on the Ken Paxton Empowerment Act, aka the Laken Riley Act: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

I would hope so. No amendment is going to make this bill any better. Like putting lipstick on a pig.

šŸšØšŸšØTHIS JUST IN: We sent a letter to the NJ congressional delegation member that voted NO on the Laken Riley Act. Along with 20+ partners, we send our sincere thanks to those who fought to protect immigrant communities by voting no this dangerously harmful bill.

Is this Season 3 of the Diplomat? Can Allison Janey take over? This is so dumb.
