Last Sunday, ICE shot another person and refused to give them necessary medical attention, and immediately moved them to a detention facility hundreds of miles away.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

Camp East Montana is nothing short of a civil rights catastrophe — physical and sexual abuse by guards, abhorrent medical treatment, solitary confinement, and more. No one should have to endure the abuse that the Trump administration has inflicted on people detained there.

Every state should be a safe place to raise every family. But politicians across the country are targeting families with trans youth, banning the health care they need and the future their children deserve. Families shouldn’t have to move states to give their children the freedom to be themselves.

No matter what President Trump says, ICE on our streets does not make anyone safer. Our elected officials must demand an end to the lawless cruelty enacted by federal agents.

The average public school in the U.S. has 500 students. ICE is currently detaining over 7 schools' worth of children, many of whom are being held in inhumane conditions. Children do not belong in government detention.

ICE has detained at least 3,800 kids under the second Trump administration — more than 500 of whom were under 5 years old. Children shouldn't be locked up by our government.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Justice Sotomayor is right: Gender-affirming care saves lives. Denying trans youth the right to essential medical care is denying them the future they deserve.
White text: "'Transgender adolescents' access to hormones and puberty blockers (known as gender-affirming care) is not a matter of mere cosmetic preference. To the contrary, access to care can be a question of life or death.'" Quotation attributed in blue text to "Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Dissenting in Supreme Court case United States v. Skrmetti."

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility: Trans people have always existed, and we always will.  No president, politician, or court can change that.
