Congratulations to Chasity Verret Martinez on her election to represent House District 60.
She was outspent 3-to-1 and still won. This is what happens when grassroots Democrats show up and organize.
Proud of this win and excited to keep building power together. #LaDemos

We already live in a surveillance state.
ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to.
They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Just curious, is there ANYTHING that an ICE agent can do that Republicans will condemn as wrong? Anything at all? Or it just automatically defend ICE no matter what now? That’s who you are?

Oystermen grieve Honduran deckhand who drowned fleeing feds during Louisiana immigration sweeps
Walter Francisco Cerrato Cabrera drowned in his white shrimp boots after 20 years working on oyster boats around Hopedale. He was 48.
“They’re all good people, really good people,” said a longtime oysterman. “I know they’re here illegally, you know what I mean? But ICE got ‘em so damn scared.”

As of Thursday, ICE-Gestapo was holding over 73,000 people in their concentration camps, a record amount in their disgraceful 23 year history.
They aren’t a law enforcement agency, they are a militarized terrorist organization that should have been disbanded long ago.
