On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Many doctors and nurses and a majority of elder care workers are immigrants. There is ALREADY a shortage of these skilled workers in the US, imagine the increasing wait times and decreasing level of care as the Trump Catastrophe accelerates…
Nursing homes around the U.S. say they're feeling the effects of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

Those of you making lists of Democrats that DOJ has arrested (usually via Kristi Noem's goons), I beg of you not to forget CA SEIU President David Huerta.
The pattern is the same, and in that case they charged a conspiracy which may be an effort to get inside SEIU's private records.

In yet another dishonor to our US Veterans, new rules to a Jan Trump EO now allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats and unmarried vets.
The EO in question?
“Defending women.”
To be clear, the EO is strictly and only anti-trans.
