On Thursday, Aug 6, Meet us at 11:00 AM at Senator McCormick's Office (2000 Market Street, Suite 610) as we march together to John Fetterman's Philadelphia Office (200 Chestnut Street, Suite 600) to demand that our senators support legislation that protects TPS holders and keeps families together.

This country has arrived at the point where a prominent bank can file court documents attesting to the fact that they stopped providing services to the current President of the United States because there was evidence he was involved in money laundering and it barely breaks into the news cycle.

It seems that every month now another important book on Palestine is being released. That’s why we’ve started the IMEU Policy Project Book Club, a monthly series of conversations with authors of the latest books on Palestine.

🚨 ICE just published their recent numbers and it's worse than we thought. JUNE: ICE and CBP took 43,138 people. That works out to 1,474 of our neighbors every single day. JULY: 65,765 people are now inside US concentration camps.

Jayapal: I’m somebody who feels like it doesn’t matter what you want to call it, but we have to disband ICE. We have to melt ICE. We have to abolish ICE. Whatever word you want to use, what we need to get to is the end result: ICE should not exist as it exists. And DHS should not exist as it exists

I was raised to not speak ill of the dead. In therapy, I learned that speaking honestly about the harm done is more important than protecting the dead. Lindsey Graham caused more harm to this state than anything else in my lifetime. His legacy is hatred and brutality. Now, SC can move forward.

Lindsey Graham, warmonger, dead at 71

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Dave Matthews: "This father and grandfather who was murdered by ICE in Houston, Texas. Then they say he’s not even the guy they were looking for. Well then don’t pull the trigger you assholes. ... I want to send this to the memory of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo." (h/t @marcofoster.bsky.social)

Per Judith Bernstein-Baker 'Once again, in grief and anger, immigrant led organizations are marking another ICE killing. ICE describes him as an "illegal alien" as if he has no worth, but we know he was a father, a husband, and a worker who helped build our country.'

"The three men who were with a 52-year-old Houston man when he was fatally shot by an immigration agent earlier this week said Lorenzo Salgado Araujo never tried to run over anyone and that agents repeatedly fired into the vehicle from the side of the van" www.texastribune.org/2026/07/10/t...

Houston ICE shooting witnesses dispute agents’ claims

The other men in the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo said agents fired into the vehicle unprovoked, according to a lawyer for two of the men.
