[Joe Kennedy III @joekennedy]

President John F. Kennedy believed that one day this country would live up to its promise of justice and equal rights for all. For those beliefs and for his sacrifice, Congress voted to make The Kennedy Center a living memorial to him, as a place built by the people for the people to celebrate what connects us. 

While this trespass on the People’s will is painful, President Kennedy would remind us that it is not buildings that define the greatness of a nation. It is the actions of its people and its leaders. 

So, do not be distracted from what this Administration is actually trying to erase: our connection, our community, and our commitment to the rights of all.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are now hitting unaccompanied minors with their vehicles, detaining and disappearing them, even after being shown a U.S. passport.

Yesterday, agents rear-ended a car being driven by a 16-year-old, with her 15-year-old brother in the passenger seat.

Instead of calling a guardian, agents photographed the 15-year-old… and then took him.

The 16-year-old showed agents her U.S. passport…. But, that did not matter, they still handcuffed her and threw her into their unmarked car.

Both minors.
Both unaccompanied.

Detaining children, ignoring proof of citizenship, and hauling minors away, after rear ending the car they were driving, is not immigration enforcement.

That is child trafficking.

And it’s happening in broad daylight by the Trump administration.

Share this.
Document everything.
Demand accountability.

Because if federal agents can do this to kids with a passport, no one is safe.

@AshaRangappa_ Do you think this happens because you are a woman? Would anyone expect a male commentator to apologize? I think not.

@BlackKnight10k I am a white woman, and so I cannot speak to the experience of black Americans, but I can say the treatment of Judge Jackson seems pretty familiar to me as a woman.

@mmpadellan One of the most impactful books I read as a young person. It informed me and made me aware of the inequality that existed in that time. I am saddened to to find that time still exists.

@RepFredUpton @funder We also need to find a way to make cement that isn’t negatively impacting global warming.

Would I like to live in a society without guns? I would. Is that going to happen in America? It won’t. So, let’s think of new ways to make our lives safer.

@SenatorRomney Then maybe you shouldn’t have voted for tax cuts for the rich, that increased our debt?

@MikeMcLean00 @MikeMadden Who won the World Cup? Who won the Olympic Gold Medal? Who qualifies for everything? These women would kick your ass, but maybe that is what has you so worried?
