Those inflatable animals at Portland's ICE detention facility just punched a hole in the regime's narrative that the city is a fiery hellhole. I saw one video with them doing the Cha-Cha Slide and they knew all the moves!

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king.

ICE poised to deport Mario Guevara for livestreaming police activity during a No Kings protest in June. Demand his release via the ACLU link below.

ACLU @aclu.org · 16d

Mario Guevara has been detained by ICE for more than 100 days in retaliation for his reporting — even though a judge ordered his release on bond.

An immigration court just ruled Mario could be deported at any moment. ICE must free him now.

Keep fighting. Keep shining a light on what's happening. Keep pressuring Congress and the regime.

And if you're able, please protest loudly outside the nearest detention center so our neighbors inside know we haven't forgotten them.

People are losing hope.

A large group of detained men in white uniforms stand in an outdoor yard, some shirtless, many raising their hands or waving cloths. Above them is a headline reading, “Conditions at ICE detention centers are fueling a surge in suicide attempts,” with a subheading about poor sanitation, overcrowding, mistreatment, and lack of medical services harming migrants in custody.

If you see signs like this in a merchant's window it means they have taken a step to protect immigrant workers and customers. It's a campaign through Indivisible. Please support businesses with this signage, including about 30 in Hampden, a Baltimore neighborhood.
