National Guard troops are still patrolling the streets of DC, more than a year after President Trump fabricated an "emergency" to deploy them. Every day these troops are in our communities is another day we risk normalizing their deployment.

Indigenous Peoples Day is an opportunity to tell the truth about our history, including stories too often erased. Learning for Justice explores the history of Indigenous enslavement and those working to recover it. https://bit.ly/3BrSzbx #IndigenousPeoplesDay #TheMarchContinues

ICE is heavily scouting the apartments near 58th Street. They are all over San Diego. Please stay vigilant today if you're being followed. Don't get trapped in. Get home safely and run inside your house. Arturo Gonzalez you are a Legend ✊🏽

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. ICE’s unchecked power won’t rein itself in. If we want real oversight, accountability, and an end to intimidation tactics that target vulnerable communities, we have to demand it—loudly and publicly. Abolish ICE.

Accountability NOW. Abolish ICE.

The Trump administration has removed crucial reporting requirements, making it easier for ICE to try to escape accountability when people die shortly after being released from their custody. No one should die because of ICE's dangerous detention conditions.

aclu.orgDeaths in ICE Detention More Than Doubles Under TrumpDeath rate could be higher if it includes hidden deaths of people released from detention that ICE is reporting under Trump administration.

Hanging? We need to call this what it is: LYNCHING. Ten Black Americans in less than two years. Every one of these deaths deserves answers, transparency, and scrutiny. No one should look at these images and expect Black Americans to shrug this off, especially in light of our history.

#OTD we honor Freddie Gray Jr. on his birthday. He should still be here. We continue to fight for justice and accountability in his name. During a police van ride, Gray sustained the severe injuries that led to his death. He was only 25 years old. #TheMarchContinues

There's no world where this is even remotely necessary.

ICE is getting "shock gloves" Because if ICE is physically putting their hands on you, that's not good enough. Apparently, they need to shock you, too. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Reports that the CIA bombed multiple civilian fishing boats near the Galápagos Islands this year, amidst the U.S. military’s ongoing campaign of lethal boat strikes, are incredibly disturbing. Congress must hold the Trump administration accountable for these illegal and immoral killings.

"This place does not seem to be designed for humans to be here." Inside Camp East Montana, ICE's largest detention center, people describe the tent complex as abusive, inadequate, and dangerous for human survival. It's past time to shut it down.

It is *another* crime @anntelnaes.bsky.social

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

We can't let this miscarriage of justice proceed. Tell Governor Lee: Don't risk executing an innocent man. Tennessee must test all the evidence before executing Tony Carruthers.

To reduce the number of incarcerated Black and Brown people, including youth, we must reform the criminal legal system so that it prioritizes rehabilitation and operates fairly and equitably. #EndingUnjustImprisonment

President Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran, in cooperation with Israel, actively undermines global security, raises the long-term danger of nuclear proliferation, and risks dragging the US into another dangerous and protracted conflict. Read UCS’s statement: act.ucsusa.org/3N9e4ZE
