Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

What an aberration.

Civicus downgraded the United States’ civic space rating from “narrowed” to “obstructed." #freespeech #authoritarianism

I wonder if Mike's mommy likes him?

If yesterday's No Kings marches weren't enough to show the regime that Americans are disgusted with their antics, we'lll have to do another in a few months. #NoKings

Typically only for special events, the military might fire live ammunition over a major roadway after state officials order a temporary shutdown due to potential safety risks. This wasn't training. @jd-vance-1.bsky.social lies, this was a deliberate effort against CA.

My comment on this post: “There are many who are, immorally, “just doing their job” following the directives that point to discarding our democracy. I hope that some of them will start saying that simple word, “no.” Our constitutional republic depends on it.” Will you say no?

It's no joke. He's tanking our constitutional republic. Thanks to @MilesTaylor for this graphic.
