Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.

That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.

We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol just blatantly violated the constitution and illegally stormed a family home in Minneapolis…

Kicked the door in, guns drawn, tased multiple U.S. citizens, with children inside, WITHOUT a judicial warrant AND WITHOUT a no-knock warrant.

Watch the video. You hear them scream “We have a warrant!” and then immediately smash the door in.

No pause. No paperwork. No judge issued warrant.

And here’s the part they don’t want you to understand:

If you don’t have a judicial warrant, you do not get to enter a home.
If you don’t have a no-knock warrant, you do not get to kick a door in.

They had neither.

Then you see the inside footage.

A woman, in her own home, surrounded by armed men, asks a very simple question:

“Where’s the warrant? Show me the warrant. There are kids in this house. Put the guns down.”

She asks again: “Where is the warrant?”

The agent says, “We’re getting it.”
Then says he doesn’t have to show it.

So let’s be clear:

They admit they don’t have the warrant, but they enter anyway, rifles up, adrenaline high, kids watching.

They grab a man. Still no warrant.
They order the woman to “back up”… inside her own house… while they are illegally trespassing.

When she doesn’t comply fast enough, he shoves her. That is assault.

In the background, another woman is tased for hugging the man they’re trying to take. Not attacking. Not armed. Just holding onto someone she cares about.

Still. No warrant.

Then the woman filming has a taser aimed directly at her. She’s standing in a doorway, asking… again… for the warrant they keep lying about.

An agent fires the taser at her.

At a woman.
Inside her own home.
For asking for a warrant.

Only after they’ve shoved people, after they’ve tased multiple U.S. citizens, after they’ve terrorized children, do they finally hold something up.

And what is it?

An administrative warrant.

Not signed by a judge.
Not legal authority to enter a home.
Not permission to kick in a door.
Not permission to point guns at kids.
Not permission to tase U.S. citizens.

This wasn’t a mistake.
This wasn’t confusion.
This was federal agents knowingly violating the Constitution, because they think no one will stop them.

If this can happen to them, it can happen to anyone.

And the question isn’t if this will happen again.

The question is how many more homes are they going to break into before someone is killed?

[Claire McCaskill @clairecmc]

The Republican Party has done a 180. Used to be “we want the federal government out of our lives”. Now? They are putting the federal government in our universities, corporate board rooms, libraries, museums, and local police departments, just to name a few.

If someone shows up with no badge, no name, no ID, no warrant, and their fucking face covered that’s not law enforcement, that’s a goddamn kidnapping. It should be illegal, and the fact that it isn’t already is a terrifying failure of democracy and the law.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about cruel people having unprecedented wealth and power over all of us.

60 Minutes Q: "Is DOGE conflating fraud with wasteful spending?"

Linda Miller: "Yes,often. You may not agree with what USAID does. You may not want to be investing American dollars in foreign fertilizer, for example... but that's not fraud."

[Lance Cooper @lmauricecpr]

A white woman called a Black child a nigger and raised $600k in 48 hours. This is a reminder that racism and hatred is still very much alive and well in America.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

We drove this billboard through the streets of DC yesterday.

Billionaires got $3.6 TRILLION richer after the first Trump tax scam in 2017.

Obviously, none of that trickled down.

Now they want to come after Medicaid, SNAP, and education to do it all over again.

Heinous.

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

Under Republicans’ SAVE Act, your driver’s license won’t be enough to vote.

You’ll need:

1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate with your current legal name, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info

I’ll be blunt. This is a modern-day Jim Crow bill that restricts access to the ballot box.

Raiding encampments makes everybody less safe and less healthy, according to ample research.

@realDonaldTrump's nonsense will make homelessness worse & waste a ton of money.

Homeless people are not things that need cleaning; they are people who need housing and support.

This is horrific. We cannot allow this level of dehumanization to become normalized. We need to shut down Guantánamo once and for all.
