They floated the test balloon & pushed it as far as they they could. Now, the republicans are beyond unpopular. T Y to every single person out there being outspoken & pushing back against ICE. It takes unity and our collective humanity to say ENOUGH.
End the detention centers NOW!

You won't find a more important piece than this -- an absolute must-read from the woman who wrote the book on concentration camps
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
Building the camps
The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

This is a great way for expats abroad to support the resistance.
A couple quick ideas: ask your electeds to condemn US policies, organize ppl to pick a US sister city/town and partner with immigrant orgs/churches/etc. there to meet legal and material needs of those in detention and their families. Ask what you can do that will be most useful to them.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Never ever have I seen a president or vice president waste as much tax payer money as these two.
Remember this when ppl IN AMERICA ONLY BTW want to pretend booing a fascist is “disrespectful”.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Two women, in their own driveway, had rifles aimed at them. ICE smashed their car window with a rifle and dragged them out. No warrant. No crime. Just retaliation for observing.

Again, there is no legislative fix for the magnitude of the authoritarian crimes being committed daily. Everyone is just pretending at this point:

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

If ICE breaks your window & enters without a judicial warrant, it’s illegal. Here’s what to do:
1️⃣ “I do not consent.”
2️⃣ “Show me a judicial warrant.”
3️⃣ Don’t resist.
4️⃣ Record it all.
5️⃣ Call a lawyer.

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration.

John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”
