What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!

The DHS raid on US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home is a clear case of political retaliation and an obvious attempt to intimidate the opposition. Here’s how we know: protectdemocracy.org/work/retalia...
The image is a political alert titled "Retaliation Alert" featuring information about Ilhan Omar, U.S. Representative. It states that on October 12, 2026, HSI agents executed a court-approved search at Omar's Washington-area home. The text suggests Trump and senior officials had targeted Omar before the search, implying political interference. DOJ claims the search is part of a criminal investigation, noting the timing differs from usual DOJ practice. A banner at the bottom reads, "See the latest: Retaliation Tracker.

Real wages are falling, and have been falling for months.
Line chart titled "Inflation adjusted hourly wages are falling" shows real hourly wages for private sector workers in January 2025 dollars from March 2024 to September 2026. Real wages climbed from $35.38 in March 2024 to a peak of $36.30 in November 2025, then fell to $35.86 by September 2026, eroding most of the inflation-adjusted gains workers had achieved over the prior 20 months.

Trump has made racist threats against Rep. Omar for years and has escalated those threats recently against Somali Americans specifically. Weaponizing federal agencies against political opponents is classic authoritarianism — and pathetic loser behavior. DC stands with Ilhan.
