ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Censorship is theft of truth, of empathy, of our children’s right to see themselves in stories.

As a parent, I refuse to let fear rewrite our shelves.

10,000+ books banned this year, half silencing LGBTQ+ voices and authors of color. Not on our watch.

Good morning wonderful Jesse. Thank you for uniting us. 💙

Keep calling. Keep protesting. Keep resisting.

Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Call even to support Dems trying to restore the cuts to health care for us in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill for billionaires.

Trumpism must be stopped. #Resist
