AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

📣📣📣 Access to birth control is revolutionary, life-changing, and more vital than ever. You deserve to feel empowered to speak to a medical professional about the best birth control options for you when you are sexually active and don’t want to get pregnant.

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

At least 6 cars

About 8-9 ICE agents

All to abuse and arrest a 15 year old girl; even forcing a knee onto her neck

America-under Donald Trump-has become an authoritarian state

Repressing dissent

Eroding-then ignoring-the rule of law

And terrorizing children

As lady liberty wept

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Yes, Rob. The Israelis and the Palestinians need to put the past behind them, recognize their mutual humanity, and find a way to live together in peace.
