Republicans have been quick to exploit Trump's war as an excuse to insist Democrats drop their opposition to new funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Demand that your Members of Congress refuse to expand Trump's capacity to terrorize our communities just because he decided to bomb Iran.

Whether you’re represented by Democrats or Republicans, it’s extra important for your Members of Congress to hear from you right now.

Urge your elected officials to use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to Trump’s illegal war with Iran.

In 2024 Trump promised voters that he would end wars, not start them. Over the past year, he has instead ordered military strikes in 7 nations.

None of these military adventures has been conducted with Congressional approval or a clear explanation to the American public.

DoD just cancelled all contracts with AI giant, Anthropic, bc it refused Hegseth’s demand that it allow its systems to be used for fully autonomous weaponry & mass surveillance.

Let that think in.

Thank you, Anthropic, for standing up for the ethical use of AI.

Democrats continue to hold the line after making it clear they would not support any DHS funding bill without restrictions on ICE.

We must urge Democrats to keep going to get ICE Out For Good, and pressure Republicans to agree to a DHS funding bill that protects our communities and civil rights.

Two years ago today Putin murdered Russian politician & human rights activist, Alexi Navalny. This, after trying to kill him once before & then imprisoning him in an Arctic Gulag.

Rest in power, Alexi. You are not forgotten.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Just this week, we’ve seen multiple GOP Members of Congress speak out against ICE warehouses planned in their state or district.

The tide is turning against the regime’s lawlessness, but we know ICE is still purchasing commercial warehouses. Is Trump trying to build a mass detention camp near you?

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has weaponized administrative subpoenasΒ to attack free speech, according to privacy and civil rights groups.

Trump is targeting free speech with a little-known legal tool: administrative subpoenas. Laws are supposed to restrict their use, but they are being increasingly used vs Constitutionally protected dissent.
