“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.
When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."
The Department of Homeland Security has had to correct information provided to at least five states after its SAVE voter tool misidentified some voters as noncitizens, according to correspondence between state and federal officials.

I won’t forget.
I won’t forgive.
“Worst of the worst” is a lie used to justify mass harm.
You don’t terrorize this many people to stop a few.
This is an attack on Americans, deliberate, cowardly, and unforgivable.
Other countries can do it, why can’t we?

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.
But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.
No compromise.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.
Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
Here are 4 ways Trump is trying to undermine our fair and free elections—and why we've got to keep calling him out.
Yep. The polling data we obtained shows that more than two thirds of young men disapprove of ICE enforcement and oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs and no criminal records:
Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.
We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

Breaking: 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father are back in Minnesota.
At the very least, Senate Democrats must use their leverage to disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, and remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits.
Please call your senators now at 202-224-3121 and say NO more funding for ICE.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, who called 911 for help.
Given that any "training" or "practice" mandate imposed on ICE will depend on the Klansmen and Nazis of the Trump administration following through, I don't understand why the top priority for Democrats is not *taking away money* from ICE. It is the biggest source of actual leverage.
Trump will attempt to corrupt the midterm elections anyway possible, to avoid the inevitable articles of impeachment waiting for him, should the GOP lose. Which they would in a free and fair election.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
"AG Bondi’s letter is an outrageous attempt to coerce Minnesota into giving the federal government private data on millions of U.S. Citizens in violation of state & federal law — after repeated failed attempts to pressure my office into providing it." www.kare11.com/article/news...
“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?”
“Yes, that’s accurate.”
We are so cooked 🇺🇸
In addition to abolishing ICE and trying and jailing every single one of those fuckers, disarming US federal law enforcement so they can't casually kill people seems to be a minimum demand for the future.
So.
To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.
