I’m leaving the Capitol at 4am after Republicans rammed through a vote paving a path for $70B to fund ICE for years without any reforms/accountability. They rejected all Dem proposals to lower your healthcare costs, housing, and gas prices. Spread the word. We need to stop this.
End the War on Iran! We can't afford another war. RIGHT NOW About Face & around 150 vets & military family members are occupying the Cannon Building in #washingtondc & demanding Trump end this illegal war #nowaroniran
This is a masterclass in how to deal with an illegal stop by an ICE agent.
https://t.co/rYrBQqyuu1 says to legally stop your vehicle, officers must have at least one of the following:
1. Reasonable suspicion
2. Probable cause
3. A valid warrant
If stopped:
1. Ask one clear question
“Am I being detained, or am I free to go?”
* If free → leave calmly
* If detained → continue
2. Provide required driving documents
License, registration, insurance (if you’re driving)
3. Remain silent beyond that
You have the right to remain silent.
You do not have to answer questions about immigration status. Say: “I am exercising my right to remain silent.”
4. Do not consent to searches
Say: “I do not consent to any searches.”
5. Do not argue or resist
Stay calm. Do not escalate.
Anything unlawful can be challenged later.
FIGHT ICE, FIGHT TRUMP: https://t.co/hN8SiV9y02
🚨 Rep. Ted Lieu says the full unreleased Epstein files contain evidence that Trump raped children.
That’s what’s being hidden.
Trump started a war with Iran days after Epstein release pressure peaked.
The Senate gave him unlimited war powers.
The files stay sealed. The arrests never come.
And the war keeps everyone looking the other way.
Release everything.
BREAKING: Police arrest former U.S. service members and military families as they occupy the U.S. Capitol in protest of Trump’s war on Iran on Monday. The protestors are holding red tulips to honor the Iranians killed by the war.
So begins the largest veteran and military family act of civil disobedience since the Iraq war began, occupying the Cannon building Rotunda - protesting yet another forever war with Iran which includes the genocide in Palestine, the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, and the potential ground operation in Cuba. Whatever violence we do overseas always comes back home and every war fought by this government is a war on the working class, which is you… we’re here until arrest or speaker Mike Johnson come out to answer for the dead and meet our demands.
If you’re an active duty service member and do not wish to join the 5th US generation fighting in a senseless self-destructive war, immoral war for the rich, we will stand with you, there is a way out. Info below:
You can file as a conscientious objector and keep your benefits based off time in service. Please call the G.I Rights Hotline (1-877-447-4487) and visit center on conscience on war

"Veteran's Against Fascism," including disabled veterans, were arrested inside of the Capitol building today as they staged a protest against Trump's war in Iran.
This is Trump's America.
BREAKING: U.S. Military veterans are occupying the Cannon building in the nation’s Capitol to protest the US’s war on Iran and Israel’s genocide on Gaza.
The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3 billion tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
WARREN: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
