Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

We can stop the #MAGAMurderBill but it's going to take an all out effort like our lives and our loved ones depend on it. Cause they do. How? You - yes you - and all of your friends, families and followers can do any and all of the following organized actions. 🧵

Trump eliminated the team that investigated crypto fraud and crimes, and fired the ethics watchdog that oversaw conflicts of interest within the executive branch. Seems like necessary context.

ICE raids are impacting grocers and restaurants. Markets that supply produce for restaurants as well as the public are seeing their produce rotting. There’s no one to buy, sell nor deliver. The public is afraid. Businesses may wind up closing and prices will skyrocket. This will be nationwide. /

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Text card, reads: "Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them."

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

No president has ever federalized the National Guard for purposes of responding to potential future civil unrest anywhere in the country. Preemptive deployment is literally the opposite of deployment as a last resort. It would be a shocking abuse of power and the law. 15/19
