I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

A confidential document shows that Trump’s DOJ plans to analyze states’ voter files and then instruct the states to remove specific voters. But the federal government has neither the legal authority nor expertise to correctly add and remove voters from the rolls. bit.ly/46tX4nd

One official admitted he repeatedly sexually abused a woman in his custody.

Another is charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation.

As more files from the Epstein case are released, I'm sickened by the extent of his depravity and his connections to so many powerful people. Governments around the globe are being shaken by the mentions of their leaders in the files, and the U.S. should apply the same scrutiny to our leaders.

Columbia will never be free of this stain.
When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.

By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

It is VERY important to get your electeds to publish state "abolish" as it moves the needle of what will be a midterm platform point. If you want Dems to abolish when they have legislative levers, it has to be publicly acceptable discourse RIGHT NOW.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

The fact that Senate Dems gave away a big handful of demands before they ever started negotiating, and all of those demands were basically "please follow existing law, pretty please"...

Meanwhile House Dems are screaming "ABOLISH ICE"

Teargassing children is state-sponsored violence. Full stop. We will not be bullied into compliance or betraying our values. Oregon is strong. Oregon is peaceful.

If you’re still working for ICE, resign. There’s no honor in contributing to this barbarity.
