Icymi last month: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into a national criminal database originally built for people convicted of sex offenses and violent crimes

The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database

Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Imagine having the power, money and political standing to make a difference in the world. To save children’s lives. Then imagine you did that, providing medical interventions—saving lives. Now imagine someone ending it. Putting children at risk of death and harm. You don’t have to imagine— 🧵

Orange Daddy gonna be big mad.

Project 2025 is a suffocating quilt. It erases inclusion, guts our Constitution, and targets anyone who doesn’t match the look, culture, or values of its authors. Lack of knowledge moves the Ignorant to Stupid. Evil is evil. Stay true to yourself. #Resist #SheShed

Every day I have to process what’s happening. It’s getting harder and harder to comprehend, and I’m not sure how long until I break. I know I won’t, can’t stop fighting but the emotional toll is something I never thought I would have to carry. It’s indescribable on so many levels. The pain I feel

Any far right US Supreme Court decision which alters or reverses any part of OUR Constitution is invalid. They do not have the authority to make amendments.

Per SCOTUS Injunction & Birthright Citizenship Ruling, there are 22 states grandfathered to file against the Birthright citizenship EO. They are AZ CA CO CN DE HA IL ME MD MA MI MN NV NJ NM NY NC OR RI VT WA WI

I am a birthright citizen. I became naturalized when my parents received their citizenship. This affects me directly. Please don’t stop resisting. There’s so many Democratic voters just like me. Trump’s administration is trying to get rid of us.

I have seen men die. I have buried friends. I am 100% disabled from my service. The casual way in which men like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz declare that Iran or others must be attacked with no skin in the game infuriates me. New read with💥 @fpwellman.bsky.social 👇🏼

It’s time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How they’re being paid, how much they’re being paid.

It pisses me off to no end that people with <10 years to live are making destructive decisions for all of those with longer futures.

I totally agree. It doesn’t have to be this way, but until Republicans grow a set and stand up to him, nothing will change. Hopefully we’ll have midterms and can vote these bootlickers out!

If someone had told me, prior to 45, that in a few years we’d be saying “hold my beer” to Pinochet, I would never have believed him. But here we are. Disappearing innocent people. That poor family - all the families that are experiencing the trauma of this immigration “policy”. 💔🤬

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.
