- A moment of peace
- At least 2300 agents remain. People are still getting gassed, ICE is still torturing people. These are cosmetic changes hoping to pacify you. Don’t fall for it.
- Omg! So proud of my home state! Time to get this going in my new home state too
- Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...
- This is exactly what we all expected right? Interference with the right to vote? Last night MN Dem @jchavezmpls.bsky.social told us it wasn’t safe to caucus if we could be targeted by ICE.
- 🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Just like a pedophile
- “Can I pull this off?”
- Love this. And also I’m old enough to remember when DHS was formed (about 25 years ago). It’s long past time to dissolve DHS, not just ICE. Dismantle DHS
- I went to the democratic caucus last night, like 30K other Minneapolis democrats. It was so heartening to see democracy in action. I loved voting so much whether for a delegate or a president
- Make no mistake: these are concentration camps. Not death camps, but concentration camps.
- Listen up media. Stay on target. @theatlantic.com @vox.com @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com @theguardian.com
