Born a redhead. Went grey 23 seconds after I realized it didn’t suck. Voting rights AND access. Lift from the bottom, everyone rises.

Many of us come from ancestors who had no choice but to survive in order for us to be here. We know the drill. It’s in our bones.

By the time harm comes 2 those who brought this on, I won’t have feelings to spare. They are reserved for those who knew, and who will be harmed first.

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:

• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Judge Lynn Adelman has issued his ruling on motions in limine in the Hannah Dugan case (the WI judge charged w/impeding an immigration arrest). Mostly, he ruled in Dugan's favor, except on whether she's allowed to talk abt Kash and Bondi's statements.

DOGE has been a FLOP, now disbanded 8 months early. Greatly exaggerating their "success" Trump and Musk lied to the taxpayers, never delivering a cent back to them. The real impact: slashing research, endangering public health, removing competent public servants, & creating chaos.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.

Anyone complaining about Dems not doing enough, isn't following enough Dems on social media.

Rep. Lauren Underwood has been a standout since she took office.

Follow more Dems and learn what they are doing.
“U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood on Monday called conditions inside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview “terrible” and warned that staffing is expected to triple by January at ICE facilities in the Chicago area in anticipation of more immigration enforcement.”

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.

You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

We have BLM and hundreds of years of Black activism and litigation to thank for body cam requirements becoming the standard. This type of violence has been perpetuated against the Black community by law enforcement since this country’s inception.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

One of the people arrested on September 27 at Broadview was a 70-yo Air Force veteran who was hospitalized with his injuries from ICE assault. First charged w/felony, then misdemeanor.

He was going to call Greg Bovino at trial.

It just got dismissed.
