The Department of Defense just removed "Native American Religion" as a distinct category. Our spiritual practices are grouped as "other." Our ceremonies aren't a footnote. Read more: ictnews.org/news/departm...

@advancementproject.org we work alongside partners who are building safety rooted in dignity, care and accountability. They do not want more policing; they want investment. A just society is not built by expanding the reach of the state’s coercive power, it's built by meeting human needs. (cont'd)

It is also important that media -- especially in this moment of increased authoritarianism-- question every expansion of police power and every increase in police funding. For Black and marginalized groups, our lives and livelihood depend on it! (cont'd)

We also know that the premise of safety in this piece is just off. For many Black, immigrant and marginalized communities, a greater police presence does not bring peace. It brings fear, surveillance, and the familiar trauma of state violence. (cont'd)

We know that what is called, “property crime” is closely tied to poverty, instability and long-term disinvestment. If we want real safety, we must invest in housing, schools, health care, youth opportunity and community infrastructure — not armed patrols and police occupations. (cont'd)

Thread--> The @washingtonpost.com missed the mark on this piece about the DC occuaption. The study cited board confirms that the deployment of federal forces did not reduce violent harm, yet it also makes the case for more policing based on the reduction of “property crime” --> WRONG!

The deployment reduced property crimes, but smarter policing was also crucial.

Our democracy depends on us rejecting misinformation and authoritarian threats—collectively, powerfully, and swiftly. You have the constitutional right to protest ICE activity. You have a First Amendment Right to assemble and dissent. The rise in policing power will not keep us safe.#thread

Stephen Miller’s statement isn’t about justice—it’s a dangerous throwback to unchecked power. ICE agents do not have blanket “federal immunity.” No power supersedes the Constitution. Like any policing agency, ICE must be held accountable. #thread
