This breaks my heart. What is being done to our immigrant communities is barbaric.
Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update.
ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting.
She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

What Congressional Democrats can do as the minority is limited, but governors can run states very differently. They can stop cooperating with the feds.
Red states ban abortion, blue states provide it. Texas deploys its National Guard to the border, but blue ones refuse.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Why?! This is just cruelty for sport.
THE CRUELTY…
ICE snatched a high school student while he was walking his dog.
Agents tied his dog to a tree and, and for extra fuckery, unclipped the collar—letting him run loose on a busy street.
According to family, agents joked during his arrest, laughing about the $2,500 they just secured.

HEB is the one thing Texans on the left and the right are united on. I have been fully indoctrinated into the HEB cult, and all other grocery stores now pale in comparison. If only more companies behaved like HEB does…
Shout out to H‑E‑B for stepping up once again to help Texas in a time of need. From delivering food and water to deploying mobile kitchens. Some in our coalition have signed up to volunteer on the ground, while others are donating to support the recovery from afar.

MAGA online are claiming that either A) the president will pay to complete the unfinished Texas border wall or B) Mexico will pay to complete it. Both A and B are delusional.
“Build the wall!”
“Build the wall!”
“Build the wall!”
Ah.. the hell with it.

The cruelty is the point. Everyone in this administration bears responsibility for these deaths.
wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

Trump voters are sinking to new lows, openly celebrating children going hungry due to SNAP reductions. Direct quote: Why is it my responsibility to help feed someone else’s brats? Let them provide for their own brood.

It’s necropolitics, and it’s disgusting.
It's called autogenocide, the goal is to get a population to kill themselves and/ or die by design. When MAGA / Trump strips people of their health care or safety nets, they aren't thinking about saving money they're thinking about how many of us they can exterminate. #3E #StopTheBillionaireBailout

This is insanity.
This new Texas law copies anti-Jewish legislation in pre-war Nazi Germany. That legislation consisted of a series of restrictive laws passed in 1933, then the Nuremberg Laws of 1935.
This is not an exaggeration.

New law empowers Texas Governor to seize property from legal immigrants.

🧵Update: In Worcester, MA, ICE dragged a mother away from her baby & family—without identifying themselves or showing a warrant. She’s now in San Antonio. The community tried to stop them. They were met with force. Read it. Share it. Never forget it

I would make one adjustment here… The wealthy in this country WILL poison us for the sake of profit. They did it before regulations existed and will do it again now that regulations are being lifted.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
