From @richqueeraunties.bsky.social (not active) via @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social on FB, this verbalizes something that has weighed heavily on me lately and does not reduce the problem to a simplistic solution but presents it as work. "You're dead to me" is an important tool but can't be the only one.

Republicans' destruction of USAID led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, 2/3 of them children. USAID was the developing world's biggest funder of maternal and child health. GOP claims that they oppose abortion due to babies. In fact, they gleefully killed all these babies.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The ICE Air Operations official handbook allows minors as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. We don’t know this girl/young woman’s age, but if she is over 18, it probably isn’t by much. I don’t know how those flight “guards” sleep at night.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
