Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.

Facts that bear repeating.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

On camera, immigration agents are shooting and killing people in broad daylight.

Behind closed doors, ICE is also killing people with chokeholds, medical neglect, inadequate food, and other inhumane conditions. The needless deaths and suffering must end.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but for the millionth time, Denmark has no control over Greenland. Denmark cannot decide what happens to Greenland. Denmark provides defense and a foreign policy framework, but only Greenland can legally decide what happens to Greenland.

My bipartisan bill to release the Epstein Files passed in Congress and became law.

Now, it's up to the Department of Justice to actually deliver transparency and justice.

I won't give up the fight: release the damn files!

How can we use what's happening now to save democracy?

What good can come from what's currently happening?

We spend plenty of time focusing on the negative aspects of our political reality. Can we put that aside for just a minute or more and focus on what can be achieved?
Keyword: FOCUS

Where we put our focus is essential in effecting change.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

The Trump administration’s use of Guantánamo Bay to detain immigrants isn't just cruel — it's illegal.

The government can't weaponize offshore bases to violate people's rights.

We’re two weeks into the government shutdown, and Republicans are nowhere to be found.

This has gone on far too long. The economy is suffering and healthcare costs are going up – it’s time to get to work, House GOP.

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

Taxpayers are on the hook for $10 million to feed Trump’s delusion that Portland is 'war ravaged.'

Ten. Million. Dollars.

All for National Guard troops to discover that Portland has incredible bakeries, world-class farmers markets, and a community that takes care of each other?

Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House. Less than three hours until the federal government shuts down, House Republicans aren’t even in DC.

Democrats are here, ready to pass a funding bill that protects healthcare, lowers costs, and reins in Trump’s abuse.

Republicans just brought the House into session for a total of 2 minutes.
 
Democrats tried to bring up legislation to keep government open, keep children on their insurance, and keep health care costs from doubling.
 
Then they adjourned. The GOP will own this shutdown.
