All elected officials must sound the alarm about #Trump and his unhinged weaponization of the US military against the American public. 🔥📞🔥

#Trump is manufacturing a crisis to justify military occupations of US cities. This is a horrendous (and expensive) abuse of power designed to terrorize communities and silence dissent.

Why are Democrats fighting back so hard in this shutdown?

Under the Republican budget plan, your family's health care costs could double or even quadruple next year.

For a 60-year-old couple with an income of $80,000, premiums would skyrocket by $17,500.

Who has 22% of their income lying around?

This is not normal. But #Trump and #MAGA Republicans are pretending like it is.

Gov. #JBPritzker: "ICE is running around harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago that was illegal in the United States. Now, #ICE is making it commonplace. That’s not making America great."

Families like this Georgia family are having to pay quadruple the cost just to stay insured on the lowest cost. Republicans own this.

#Trump and his #MAGA Republican cronies don't like showing up to work. Remember that next time these clowns try to add more work requirements to our benefits to pay for their tax cuts.

Content Warning: Violence --

#ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable. Violence and abuse against Americans is wrong.

Despite Republicans’ best efforts to cancel work for themselves, Democrats have been at the Capitol and have been ready to negotiate.

In fact, Democrats have been sounding the alarm on this for months. #Trump and his #MAGA cronies can't keep ignoring this, especially when lives are on the line.

#Trump has more access to your data than any administration has before.

Data profiles of all of us are being built — likely to be used for nefarious purposes.

Call it what it is. Extortion, kidnapping and trafficking. This regime hates children.

As many of you already heard, #ICE is launching a nationwide operation today, 10/3, reportedly named “Freaky Friday” that will target unaccompanied kids 14+ of all nationalities.

Here's what we know:

Sen. #JonOssoff on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.”

There was originally information posted on AILA's site but it's no longer up there. Doesn't seem like it was deleted, but hidden (could be wrong about that though).

Here is their main site - www.aila.org

The above mentioned declarations may help litigators challenge this practice.

#AILA will provide more information as they hear more. In the meantime, please share this far and wide on your own social media pages and with friends and family. (7/7)

If a kid receives a letter, consider preparing a declaration that highlights how the #ICE letter was delivered (Was counsel present and able to advise? Was the youth able to ask questions? Etc.), evidence of coercion/intimidation, underlying fear of return elements, etc...

Provide #KnowYourRights presentations to all children you are working with in custody as soon as practicable, advising them of this plan and their right not to sign anything without consulting their attorney.

File L-3 forms for all kids in custody, as capacity allows.
