Amazon wants to connect doorbell cameras to facial recognition databases, with the ability to call the police if any “suspicious” people are detected. https://t.co/fa080ALCqV

There is no justification for putting a mother and her infant child through this kind of trauma.

New York's Civilian Complaint Review Board should immediately investigate Jazmine Headley's arrest and the NYPD should be held accountable.

China has detained over a million Muslims in concentration camps — and no one is doing anything about it

Dissent is patriotic — we can't let the president roll back protest rights outside of our White House. Speak up before it's too late: https://t.co/jMHd0nZkDy

A happy reminder that elections matter: The new sheriff of North Carolina's largest county has announced the office will no longer do ICE's bidding.

Alabama law allowed EJ Bradford Jr. to carry his gun in public. Police fatally shot him anyway.

The racial double standards of “the good guy with a gun” argument are lethal.

ICE mistook Peter Brown's identity and wanted to deport him to Jamaica — and this Florida sheriff illegally jailed him to help ICE out.

Peter repeatedly told the jail that he's a US citizen, but no one listened. Now he's suing.

This week I went to dive spot in DC for some late night food. I chatted up the staff.

SEVERAL bartenders, managers, & servers *currently worked in Senate + House offices.*

This is a disgrace. Congress of ALL places should raise MRAs so we can pay staff an actual DC living wage.

BREAKING: We're suing the sheriff of Monroe County, FL for illegally jailing our client, a US-born citizen from Philadelphia, for ICE.

Our client's near deportation shows what can go wrong when local law enforcement does the bidding of @ICEgov https://t.co/qMDeRdhXiy

[The Appeal @theappeal]

An immigrant who fled gangs and torture is challenging ICE detainers. Attorneys for a Honduran woman are suing over the widespread jailhouse practice of honoring ICE requests to hold incarcerated immigrants for pickup. https://t.co/zXB3OfSzYs by @DebbieNathan2

Thank you, @RepJayapal.

It shouldn’t have to take a member of Congress physically showing up herself to get ICE to stop violating international law *as an exception.*

From jailing children to banning folks based on their religion, this Admin has been criminal from the start.

Four unidentified donors gave nearly $17 million last year to a conservative nonprofit group that distributed funds to organizations that backed President Trump’s inaugural committee and his Supreme Court nominees Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. https://t.co/tZ1GkygycS

Trump has manufactured a crisis on the border. I spent all day yesterday talking to asylum seekers, people from the caravan, & Mexican authorities. We simply need to go back to an orderly process & allow asylum seekers to apply for refuge from death. https://t.co/QO4xTxG6f3

#BrianKemp illegally purged at least 340,134 #Georgia voters — with no notice. They showed up en masse and were either handed provisional ballots, which were thrown in the garbage — and about 50,000 people were simply denied a provisional ballot in violation of federal law.

[The Black Detour @theblackdetour]

On Feb. 1, 1960, four Black college students in Greensboro, NC went to a lunch counter and demanded they be served. When the staff refused they stayed at the restaurant until they closed. This idea of “sit-in” was born and spread throughout the south.

What a coincidence that the Trump Organization keeps doing business with people who are connected to financial crime...

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

Because they lost the election Wisconsin Republicans now seek to limit early voting, lock in gerrymandering, move Supreme Court election, strip powers from Tony Evers and Josh Kaul-all in a lame-duck session. Shameful. Fight this Wisconsin! Be heard. https://t.co/F0z4MX0xht

According to the government’s own rules, “concrete facts are not necessary” to meet the standard for blacklisting.

People don’t want overly complicated choice between pricey, low-quality plans.

We want an affordable solution that covers our needs, like the rest of the modern world.

Medicare for All:
- Single-payer system
- Covers physical, mental, & dental care
- 0 due *at point of service*

Thanks to DHS, the Office of Refugee Resettlement is now an arm of the government’s deportation force. https://t.co/aNxt42kcT0
