BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

He was once leader of the Proud Boys, has posted racist threats online, and sports a white nationalist tattoo.

We must raise our voices for them. I’ll continue to try and follow Rob’s example as an artist and a humanitarian. I hope you do too.
I don’t know what else to do other than try to cherish every moment we are alive, to be of service to every aspect of our existence and to never give up.

You're applying for asylum in the United States. You don't have a lawyer. You don't speak english. You - somehow, heroically - managed to get an asylum application together.
And a 26-year-old DHS lawyer terminates your asylum application before it even gets read. Because you COULD go to Honduras.

Good. Now let's make the location of Yuanxin Zheng the next national story that puts all attention on ICE and their human rights violations.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released.
NEW: A federal judge ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the Maryland man who was wrongly removed from the U.S. and sent to El Salvador without due process by the Trump administration — to be released from an ICE detention center, ruling his detention unlawful.

Bovino inadvertently discloses a major flaw in the Real ID system. It does not prove citizenship or legal status (even though the easiest way to get one is by showing a US passport or Green Card); it only proves *identity*.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Trump says he wants the next Fed Chair to cut interest rates to 1%.
That’s not “economic policy,” it’s a smash and grab.
He’s not trying to help working people, he’s trying to juice the markets, loot the system, and walk away richer.👇

Thinking of that time when my dad, himself a doctor, was thrown by a horse on a trail ride. Punctured his spleen, internal bleeding, got him to an ER just in time. He lived another 20 years. With two hours delay, probably wouldn't have.
We rushed to *nearest* ER. Not comparison-shop for ER prices.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
