I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

WATCH: NYC comptroller Brad Lander says he sat in a detention room for 3.5 hours without hearing a word about why he was arrested.

"They knew who I was. There's no doubt they knew I was the comptroller."

We’re proud to announce, today’s turnout has already surpassed the Hands Off protest! Over 5.5m people and counting across the U.S. Get out there, be seen, and be counted. This is history in the making. Take plenty of photos and videos and post them publicly. Let the world see what’s happening.

Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

Trump instigated this entirely on his own. You don’t overrun a state’s National Guard without a request from that state, that’s a violation of constitutional limits. He manufactured a crisis.

“Tonight a woman is speaking to you.” During WWII, the Italian station Radio Bari became the voice of free Italy. Alba de Céspedes broadcast twice a week, addressing the women of Italy. Read three transcripts, translated into English for the first time.
Alba de Céspedes’s Broadcasts Against Fascism
During the Second World War, the Italian writer took to the radio, urging resistance to the pressures of tyranny.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

As we fight tyranny, we build solidarity. From solidarity, we draw courage. Surrounded by courageous people and institutions, we more easily find courage within ourselves to keep fighting. Remember: tyranny is only possible if people submit to it.
