Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

Please pitch in if you can to help make next Saturday the biggest day of protest in US history! We’re seeing a surge in RSVPs and we need to match that enthusiasm with the resources and support that our groups, hosts, and volunteers need: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Simple messaging I recommend you share and text friends, family, and neighbors.

These are the lines Democrats need to be using.

Trump went for a Covid shot and then set the CDC on fire.

If that ain’t that asshole in a nutshell.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Grew up Catholic on the south side of Chicago singing “whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers…” and absolutely can’t believe Christians are okay with the current administration doing this.

I was raised Catholic & grew up singing "whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, that you do unto me." The people I saw in vans with their hands ziptied, people inside ICE Broadview... they are our siblings. Our neighbors. And they are being denied everything, including visits from clergy

💚That deep sadness you feel, the irritability, anger, and numbness. It’s grief. Grief for who we were. Grief for who we could have been. Grief for the loss of CDC as we knew it and all that means for so many.

Be kind to yourself. Be patient. It’s ok to grieve. 💚

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

True! RFK, Jr DID say this!
He should be forced to resign. He is incompetent and mentally deranged. He is harming Americans with his false conspiratorial theories.

RFK Jr. said children circumcised early had 'double' rate of autism linked to Tylenol use

The U.S. secretary of health and human services cited a preprint study to back his claim.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.
