Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

Forgiveness and redemption are important to humanity.
And while I have forgiven many people over the years, this is an administration that I will neither forget nor forgive for their transgressions against America and the world.
I am righteously angry and I want justice.

And to remove Miller. Only need 16 Republicans to flip.
Enough Dems have made the funding bill dead in the water. Now we need Noem impeached and ICE dismantled.
Are there any folks outside Mike Johnson’s house?

They did tell us what to do. In fact, they told us ALL OF THIS would happen & even offered the most progressive platform we’ve seen in our lifetime. We saw how right HRC was with Trump 1.0 & lost SCOTUS. All we had to do was vote Dem, but the majority of white folks & nonvoters took Dem power away.

This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.

NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.

CAer here. Newsom has spent the last year on his own podcast platforming fascists, agreeing with transphobes & recently pro ICE Shapiro. Policy-wise he's been criminalizing the unhoused, reneged on several social programs, and more. When Tr*mp sent ICE here he said some stuff and did NOTHING.

It’s not just that he’s insulting our allies, who never asked for any of this. It’s that he’s pretending not to know that sometimes calling someone out publicly is not the best strategy, and that being a good leader is about doing what’s best for your people, not showing how manly you are.
