I saw someone else's version of this list without alt text. Every community includes low vision, blind, and otherwise disabled folks who make extensive use of screen readers, so I've created a revised version that includes alt text.

Check to make sure that your rep has signed onto the articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem...
This week, I stood with Democrats to introduce Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
Her malicious and incompetent leadership has led to chaos across the nation. Americans did not ask for this. Democrats will not stand for it.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

The indigenous people in ICE custody are being held without cause. It is breathtakingly illegal.
Currently, Indigenous people are housed in the ICE facility in Minnesota. We want to make it clear that this isn’t isolated to Minnesota, nationwide indigenous people are being harassed if not outright targeted by ICE operations. We need to be more vocal about these issues!

Just days after tear gassing a six month old baby and putting him in the hospital, ICE agents abandoned a six year old child in the streets of New Jersey.
They kidnapped her father and left her wandering the neighborhood asking “Where’s Papi?”
This is beyond cruel.
It’s child abuse.
