I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

Every story out of Dilley makes me think of Rep. McIver asking DHS officials:

"Do you think you're going to hell?"

Tell your congressmember to support legislation to cap H2A visas. The runaway growth of the current H2A program has been a disaster for US farm workers' wages & jobs. Local workers told us about being illegally fired to make way for H-2A workers. act.seiu.org/a/h2avisacap... #WeFeedYou

Maybe it’s just me, but I would much rather have an entire undocumented immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than white supremacists or racist MAGA lunatics who worship their pedophile president any day of the week.

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

If you’ve opened your phone lately and thought “I can’t do this anymore," you’re not alone.

Most of the people we work with aren’t lacking in motivation to create change. They’re carrying too many issues at once, trying to fix it all, and that turns into overwhelm, freeze and guilt.

Apparently “America First” means promising foreign countries financial assistance from US taxpayers but only if they vote for the incumbent president trailing in the polls.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

Yep.
The SAVE Act is the latest attempt to silence us. Politicians who can’t win fairly are making it harder for Black voters, women, and working families to vote.

This isn’t about integrity. It’s voter suppression. New rules, same Jim Crow playbook.

The bill “is not about protecting our elections,” the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund says. “It’s about disguising voter suppression.”

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
