Necessary reading this week! This oped asks @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to sign the “No Side Jobs For ICE” Act, a good example of the leadership we need AND a good policy to limit ICE’s reach + to brighten that line btwn police and the violence we’re seeing, most recently in Texas.

Beautiful day to come together to ask @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to sign #AB1537. There is much we can do to challenge the mass deportation agenda, much we can all do to limit ICE’s reach into our communities. Let’s make it happen. Con @hugoforcd13.bsky.social @iceoutofca.bsky.social !

As someone who went through it, I promise you, it was an occupation. Looked and felt like we were being overtaken. I’m still triggered as are SO many of us. I am changed from it, it was absolute terror.

White nationalism is a helluva drug. Amnesia is a side effect. Trump's approval on immigration declined steadily and inexorably for four full years during his first term in office. Why didn't the pundits take stock of this fact before they urged surrender on immigration?

If ICE has 90,000 employees, and all we are asking for is 10,000 deportations a day, that’s 9 agents per illegal. More than enough to cover investigation, apprehension and removal. What are they all waiting for?
