I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this.
ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.

We need headlines that say how insanely wrong this is instead of treating it as normal.

You can’t claim to be for working people while cozying up to the same corporations driving up their costs.
I’m running because our politics should serve families first, not donors with a VIP lane. Faith in government won’t return until we shut the door on pay-to-play politics for good.

We used to have a Constitution, Congress, and the law. Now the limits of Trump’s power are self-determined. This is why we called our rallies ‘No Kings’.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.
