Icymi last month: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into a national criminal database originally built for people convicted of sex offenses and violent crimes

The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database

Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.

If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.

🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Imagine having the power, money and political standing to make a difference in the world. To save children’s lives.

Then imagine you did that, providing medical interventions—saving lives.

Now imagine someone ending it. Putting children at risk of death and harm.

You don’t have to imagine—

Solidarity is our only way out of this mess.

I’m so grateful for this group of allies, accomplices, and aspirational icons who are helping to lead the way forward.

We need coalitions, not perfection. Democracy is messy.
Let’s dig in, together.

Project 2025 is a suffocating quilt.
It erases inclusion, guts our Constitution, and targets anyone who doesn’t match the look, culture, or values of its authors.
Lack of knowledge moves the Ignorant to Stupid.
Evil is evil.

Stay true to yourself.

Every day I have to process what’s happening. It’s getting harder and harder to comprehend, and I’m not sure how long until I break. I know I won’t, can’t stop fighting but the emotional toll is something I never thought I would have to carry. It’s indescribable on so many levels. The pain I feel

Any far right US Supreme Court decision which alters or reverses any part of OUR Constitution is invalid. They do not have the authority to make amendments.

I am a birthright citizen.

I became naturalized when my parents received their citizenship.

This affects me directly.

Please don’t stop resisting. There’s so many Democratic voters just like me.

Trump’s administration is trying to get rid of us.

It’s time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How they’re being paid, how much they’re being paid.

Absolutely vile!
I’m so enraged that anyone, let alone a sitting member of Congress, thinks that this is ok to post.
He and all of his fellow bigots need to crawl back under the rock they slithered out from.
