This is a big deal.
No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community to fight back against tyranny.
We must also continue to boycott ICE's corporate collaborators like Amazon, AT&T, and any other company trying to profit off this misery.

VICTORY: After thousands of locals protested, called, and gave public comments, a company halted the sale of a Virginia warehouse to DHS to be used for immigrant detention.
DHS wants to buy 23 warehouses nationwide. Resist all of them.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

democracy got a lot dimmer today, all from the money-grubbing, fascistic hand of Bezos.
Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

This is hugely important, and should be shared widely. Yet more evidence, this from conservative Cato Institute, re-confirming what we already knew--immigrants are NOT the problem, they contribute hugely to the U.S. economy.
Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.
It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

This is big and important, and needs repeating. Trump's insane, unhinged, out-of-control ICE attacks are backfiring. Make them pay politically. No nickel-and-dime technocratic reforms--we need a massive drawdown of ICE and serious immigration reform w/ pathways to citizenship!
Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:
*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33
*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe
Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I know they’re trying to turn this shooting into Dealey Plaza with their desperate camera angles and excuses for the murderous ICE officer but how do they explain the subsequent refusal to allow a doctor to reach the car? And lying that they already had medics there? All on tape.
