🙌 A big thanks to all who wrote, called, & protested the sale of the Ashland #Virginia warehouse to DHS/ICE.
Thanks to the Canadian activists who organized a boycott of BC-based Pattison Developments, despite everything the "administration" has done to damage relations between our countries.

Wow, #RVA you did NOT disappoint! We had (by estimates) at least 600 people show up to send the message that ICE is not welcome in Hanover County! Maybe north of that! The board listened and directed staff to inform the regime that they oppose an ICE detention facility here!

Trump has been successful betting that Americans are more racist than they let on for the past 10 years. I think this just hit a wall with Minnesota. Abolish ICE is becoming mainstream.
He will either back down or escalate things so he can declare martial law and suspend midterms. No in-between.

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.
