I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is cruel. Children will die because they can’t get the treatment they need. This SCOTUS doesn’t care about the American people.

If this can be done to a U.S. Senator, in full view of the press, no one in this country can feel safe.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

This @motherjones.com piece captures the horror + fear of ICE agents disappearing a woman without a warrant, while hiding their faces. Cowards. And then the Worcester Police steps in to help ICE + arrests a distraught 16 year old whose mother has just been taken. It’s disgusting.

A true scandal. One of the biggest free speech violations of our lifetimes and yet the people who screamed about free speech on campus for the past decade were either responsible for the violation (Trump, GOP) or ran cover for it and enabled it (Bari Weiss, Fox, etc).

Short 🧵 Today I became an American citizen after almost 16 years of living in the United States 🇺🇸 The woman who delivered the oath ceremony to the 40 of us who were being sworn in as citizens this morning thanked us for coming here and wanting to make it our home. 1/4
