- Talk with your MAGA friends and family about the difference in tone when it’s a MAGA suspect - innoculate them with truth about who is doing violence - It will work- they are humans and can change.

- A PhD student with a valid visa studying Engineering at University of Alabama was just detained by ICE. Keep our students safe - Oppose ICE’s budget. Ask your reps to shut the Gov down unless they defund ICE to keep our neighbors safe.
- With their new 30 Billion budget (3x the previous year) - ICE will be even more efficient. Shut the gov. down. Call your rep.

- Reposted by Noelle L’EtoileQuestion for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
- Reposted by Noelle L’EtoileMore women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

- Reposted by Noelle L’EtoileWhen I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

- Reposted by Noelle L’EtoileWhen a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

- Reposted by Noelle L’EtoileThey’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
