Earlier today, CHN along with our partners @nilc.org @detentionwatchnetwork.org @popdemoc.bsky.social marched and gathered on Capitol Hill w/ the message "FUND CARE, NOT ICE." Under the blistering DC heat, we’re demanding Congress reject more funding for ICE & CBP and protect Medicaid, SNAP & ACA.

2/ For generations, SPLC has done the work the government refused to do – tracking hate, exposing violent extremist networks, and defending communities under attack across the South and the country. This indictment is an act of intimidation by the government against civil society.

Many are calling ICE what it is: a modern extension of systems that have always policed, hunted, and controlled marginalized people. And people around the world are refusing to stand by while their neighbors are terrorized. From Minnesota to Milan, we’re saying: ICE OUT.

Black people know what it means to stand up when something is wrong. From the Civil Rights Movement to the fall of Jim Crow, our history is filled with people who refused to stay silent. That legacy lives in today’s resistance.

Popular Democracy 🎙️ @popdemoc.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
It’s also a time to name resistance. Because the moment we’re in right now echoes what we’ve faced before. In Milan, people took to the streets to protest ICE’s presence at the Winter Olympics and to call out the harm the event brings to communities and the environment.

Last year Congress already cut vital, life-saving programs so they could provide more resources for ICE, bringing ICE’s total budget in 2025 to $28.7 billion, nearly tripling their 2024 budget. This increased budget has only resulted in more harm, more deaths, and more dehumanization of our people!

This case isn’t really about sports. It’s about whether equal protection still applies when the people affected are trans kids. Whether civil rights laws mean what they say when it’s inconvenient, or only when it’s easy.

We showed up in DC today for Little v. Hecox because banning trans girls from school sports is discrimination, no matter how politicians try to dress it up. These laws weren’t based on evidence or real harm. They were based on fear.

Workers are about to see their health insurance costs go up by 5%. Employers will see 10% higher health insurance costs. That's because healthcare is being cut in order to send a six-figure tax break to each member of the richest 1%. I'm sure that'll be great for the economy.

The image is overlaid on fiery flames, conveying urgency and intensity. Text below discusses the erosion of public spaces and services, highlighting the struggle for freedom and resistance against silence.Text titled "Peril" by Toni Morrison discusses authoritarian regimes suppressing dissenting writers through control, censorship, and fear. In the background, blurred barbed wire conveys restriction and oppression. The tone is critical and thought-provoking.
