We need to rein in ICE and CBP.
We need to call out the avalanche of lies.
And most importantly, we need to stand up for our communities—because they are being terrorized by their own government.

literally, unabashed, state sponsored government terrorism by the way
I’m relieved Wilmer has been released but the fact is there are countless others who have been brutally and needlessly detained by DHS whose stories we don’t know.
I won’t abide by a government that can inflict this kind of terror on American citizens and peaceful residents with impunity.

WA man, mauled by dog during arrest, released from ICE custody
Wilmer Toledo-Martinez was released, his lawyer said. Earlier, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray said the way he was mauled should "shock the conscience."

The Trump administration wasn't just blindly zeroing out spreadsheets of foreign aid money—they were upending decades of critical, lifesaving work abroad with life and death consequences.

Really funny how the ruling class keeps justifying infringing on our liberties with "we gotta protect the children" while bombing palestinian children, protecting a global billionaire network of child trafficking, and building measles infested children prisons

Raising children to be kind, thoughtful, and empathetic. Raising children to feel loved, affirmed, and proud despite what is being told to them by some of the country's most powerful people is something generations of Black Americans have had to do. And still, it came at a cost to them too.

The behavior is not new, he has demonstrated over and over again who he is both through rhetoric and through policy. But there remains, I think, a cost in the ceaselessness of it all. To constantly have to tell your children that the president is wrong, is lying, is malicious, and is hateful.

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

If you’re Dems, please coalesce around Stephen Miller not having a job anymore.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

George Washington was many things over the course of his lifetime. He was a president, he was general, he was a planter, he was a husband. He was also an enslaver. In order to understand who Washington was, you have to hold all of those things together. You can’t run from the parts you don’t like.

If people have to tell a more honest story about George Washington it means they have to tell a more honest story about America. And if they have to tell a more honest story about America it means they have to tell a more honest story about themselves. And many people simply don’t want to do that.

No one should ignore these kinds of statements just because the President is delusional. We need to take it at face value.
This is undemocratic and un-American. Oh, and by the way, we WILL have elections whether Trump thinks we should or not.
