Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

(And let me note that immigration law FAVORS such horrific outcomes. Asylum is very hard to win. Immigration “court” isn’t a real court. It’s a kangaroo court where DHS is judge, jury, and executioner. You have no right to counsel. And the law tilts against non-citizens all conceivable ways.)

I believe that Republicans, be they in this administration, in Congress, or voters know by now that Trump is in this Epstein mess up to his little piggy eyes. Either they are too embarrassed to admit that they have supported a evil old pervert and hates to admit they were wrong or guilty themselves.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.
