We’ve seen the Trump Admin cross many lines: targeting elected officials — now Sen Padilla —, the media, peaceful protesters who were exercising their right to question and speak up. We are not the problem. Immigrant families & workers are not dangerous. This Administration is.
YouGov poll: "Do you approve or disapprove of deploying Marines to the Los Angeles area to respond to protests over the federal government's immigration enforcement?" 34% approve, 47% disapprove
"Do you approve or disapprove of deploying National Guard soldiers to the Los Angeles area to respond to protests over the federal government's immigration enforcement?" 38% approval - 45% disapproval
YouGov: "Do you approve or disapprove of the Trump administration's handling of deportations?" 39% approve - 50% disapprove
Two YouGov polls taken June 9/10:
– Deploying Nat’l Guard: 38% approval-45% disapproval (30-47 among indies)
– Deploying Marines: 34-47 (27-50 among indies)
– Trump’s handling of deportations in general: 39-50 (30-54 among indies)
Just because Trump wants this doesn't mean it's a winner for him.
With the election of a new Pope, we look ahead with hope.
May Pope Leo XIV carry forward Pope Francis’s legacy of championing and defending the rights and dignity of immigrants and refugees all over the world. Now more than ever we need faith leaders to stand with the most marginalized among us.
Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them.
We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.
Important thread about upcoming Alien Enemies Act proclamation 👇🏽
He would rather spend more money deporting people even if it means taking Medicaid or snap away from your family. So tell me how is Trump making your pocket book better? Because tariffs aren’t going to help, deportations aren’t going to help. And destroying the federal work force won’t help either.
My 2 cents. Trump gave a campaign speech about immigrants being terrible & invading this country. Nowhere did we hear how he’s going to lower costs for Americans or make their lives better. In the last weeks the market went to shit, eggs & grocery prices are going up & things are about to get worse.
Let’s make DJ an honorary agent while we destroy the research that could save him if he’s out of remission. #JointAddress #SOTU
Anyone committing a heinous crime like the man that killed Laken Riley should be held accountable. If Trump cares he’d prioritize them, not parents, grandparents, and kids being sent to Guantanamo or camps in Panama. Don’t fall for it. #JointAddress
Tariffs are hurting US farmers! #JointAddress
If you cared about stopping fentanyl you wouldn’t be taking resources away from DHS fighting fentanyl to apprehend and deport parents, neighbors and people who have lived here for years paying taxes and making our communities better. #JointAddress
VOTERS: this is the trade war we warned you about.
If you shop, you’re paying!
Inflation is going up, the market is going to hell, and Trump’s tariffs are only making prices go up. #JointAddress
Remember who fired a bunch of air traffic controllers.
A few mins in and there we again with the invasion narrative. If only people did their homework about facts, authoritarianism and how it starts. #jointaddress
This one is for Dr B! Go birds! 🦅
Here’s what we did today
BS. Biden didn’t screw up anything. The only one trying to hurt Cubans, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan immigrants is Trump. Maybe you should take the interest of your constituents into account when choosing who to support and side with.
Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.
Nobody is safe.
Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.
My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.
President Biden’s warnings tonight were on point. Now it’s our turn to keep the fight for the wellbeing of the American people. Will forever love this President and so grateful for all he’s done during his 50 years of public service. ❤️
President Biden: “It’ll take a while to feel the impacts of what we did” 🥹😢
Always the cleanup crew. 🤦🏻♂️
BS. Immigrants commit less crimes than every day Americans. This is the same old fear mongering they’ve used to convince people that it’s us v. them when it’s completely the opposite. Also rich coming from Trump’s VP, an actual criminal and convicted felon. SMH.
Trump: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.”
In the meantime… 👇🏽

Farm workers are being detained in California. Follow @ufw.bsky.social for more info and KYR.
Redesignating #TPS for Venezuela would protect individuals who are integral to our communities. They are valued neighbors, business owners, and essential workers. The Biden Administration must act quickly.
You think our immigration system is already chaotic? Wait to see what'll happen if the Laken Riley bill passes. Read more in this oped by @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social here:
