Don, for once, YOU obey the law. Stop sending your ICE goons to terrorize people who did the horrible crime of NOT voting for you. Stop smashing the First, Fourth, and Eighth Amendments. Stop using ICE to commit assault, kidnapping, and murder.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.
Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.
Pausing asylum decisions.
And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

Trump is dining with top Wall Street executives at the White House tonight — just months after giving them a huge tax cut in his Big Ugly Bill.
Meanwhile, his regime is continuing to withhold SNAP benefits for millions of hungry Americans.

Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different.
Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other.
There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.
