Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

6-year-old boy with leukemia was arrested by ICE—at his own immigration court check-in. He urinated on himself in fear. He missed his cancer treatment. And now his family is suing the Trump administration in a landmark case. This is not a horror story. This is America in 2025 👇

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it. First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

I think about this a lot.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

This is wildly fucked up. How is America made great by eviscerating science? Or are we relegating all research to the private sector (which has no national allegiance)?

And he is the grossest, most awful human who should live in infamy in our history books as a white supremacist villain.

What a loss. These are disgraceful decisions made by disgraceful people.

I know there’s a game on, but I rewatched my favorite favorite favorite episode of TV I’ve seen in the recent past. ♥️ #Bill&Frank #TheLastofUs

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Just listened to a new candidate for Nazi Barbie lie her ass off on PBS News Hour: Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for DHS Public Affairs, paid liar. Hope her family is extremely proud.

yeah if an unmarked brown F150 pulled up on me and four dudes in plainclothes with rifles and face coverings jumped out I would 2000% assume I was being kidnapped to Culiacán and respond accordingly.

when i worked with Ted Cruz back in 1999/2000 on the Bush campaign, people would ask me why do people take such an instant dislike of Ted Cruz and I said, because it saves time.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Concerned citizens have turned to the Neighbors app, once used largely to look for lost deliveries, to make public service announcements about ICE raids in their communities.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Good for her. Doubt it, but I hope he listens.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.
