Denying baseline annual funding is still a substantial cut for ICE and CBP, and the longer it persists, the deeper the funding reduction will be. Democrats should stick to this line. buff.ly/vlEu2vN
The Case for Keeping ICE and CBP Defunded

Russian authorities have detained an Indigenous climate advocate, accusing her of participating in a terrorist organization in what international observers are calling “retribution” for her United Nations advocacy on behalf of Indigenous peoples.

So grateful for unions like @ccpucalifornia.bsky.social working to secure healthcare for child care providers!
Insurance premiums doubled overnight for millions of Americans on January 1.
Over half of ACA marketplace enrollees say they’d go without insurance if premiums double. I’m one of them. We canceled our policy.
$3,000 a month isn’t health care. It’s a shakedown.

If this federal funding shift away from permanent housing goes through, on top of all the other cuts, it’s going to hit our communities hard. It’s time to link arms and push back!

Today, as I left an early childhood ed event in SF on Black kids & families, a white guy in a car leaving the golf course next door yelled “ICE!” and laughed when I looked. Still sitting w/ it. BIPOC communities have faced this cruelty for generations. Latinos are just today’s most visible target.
