As we ready for #ValentinesDay tomorrow, we are reminded that love means protecting those who are under attack. 🧵 1/6

BREAKING: 47 Senators just blocked a measure that would have provided billions more dollars of no-strings-attached funding for ICE and Border Patrol to continue their violence and abuse. While we applaud these Senators for taking action, the fight continues.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

If passed, the New York for All Act will protect our communities by blocking ICE from entering non-public areas without a warrant & begins limiting federal access to state databases. ☎️Contact your rep TODAY & urge them to pass #NY4All: win.newmode.net/ny4all 🎨: @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

Wondering what DOH Commissioner has to say for himself as the CDPAP program collapses under private equity control? Follow along with us here today for the Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Health & Medicaid! Our Political Director, Ilana, will also be testifying!

“We’re already at a crisis point, and now we’re just going to make it worse, so that more disabled people are going to be forced into institutions“ #CareCantWait #ProtectMedicaid www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NOW: After refusing to address concerns about private equity running our home care system, NYSDOH - New York State Health Department Commissioner McDonald runs up the back stairwell after the first leg of the Health Budget Hearing. What is he hiding? We need oversight of PPL's $11 billion contract!

Together, we are America. When fear and intimidation impedes workers from reporting work abuses, it not only affects that worker—it affects ALL workers. Immigrant rights, are workers rights. #ICEOutForGood https://inthesetimes.com/article/trump-assault-on-immigrants-hurts-us-born-workers-too

Keep making those calls! #ICEOutForGood

Every year, the US immigrant population generates more in taxes than they receive in benefits. In just the last 30 years, they have created a fiscal surplus of $14.5 TRILLION dollars. No matter which way you look at it, immigrants are ESSENTIAL to our economy.

The only thing more powerful than hate is love. The two-week continuing resolution to fund DHS is set to expire this Friday. Meanwhile, negotiations continue. We know what we want, and we know what to do. Call your Senators: 202-224-3121 ☎️ Tell them: Defund ICE. Fund Care. 🗣️ #ICEOutForGood

"Rapid-response networks and mutual aid are not charity. They’re shared infrastructure for collective care and survival." What community care looks like. 💜 #ICEOutOfOurCommunities truthout.org/articles/ant...

ICYMI— “Our previous FI was a nonprofit in our community. We had a single point of contact…I had excellent benefits as his care worker,” said Nicole Demme of Erie County. “Everything about it has been difficult.” Collapsing care isn't "savings" www.wxxinews.org/new-york-pub...

A mother dropped off her kids with a birthday cake, then went to work as a house cleaner. She never came back. The immigration crackdown is devastating families and child care for ALL families––worsening a care crisis and terrorizing communities. #ICEOutForGood 🗣️ calmatters.org/education/20...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

"It is real work, but it continues to be seen as not real work" - @domesticworkers.bsky.social The fight continues for #FairPay4HomeCare ✊ www.npr.org/2026/01/29/n...

We cannot settle for empty reforms while ICE and CBP terrorize our communities, violate our constitutional rights, and kill innocent people. Demand that your Democratic senators hold the line and use their leverage to secure real restrictions on the regime’s secret police.

We connected with @domesticemployers.bsky.social this weekend for our #SignsOfSolidarity campaign here in #NYC! Here's Jen telling us about her group and the important work they're doing! We want you to #KnowYourRights! We want to keep our communities safe! We want #IceOutForGood!

Update: A short-term deal keeps #ICE funded for 2 weeks. Keep calling your #Senators. (202) 224-3121

To avoid a shutdown, Congress has negotiated a short-term deal to keep DHS funding intact for 2 weeks while they negotiate. We're not giving up until we see #ICEOutForGood. Keep calling your Senators: 202-224-3121 ☎️ 🧵 www.npr.org/2026/01/29/g...

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

Defund ICE. Fund Care. Keep making those calls ☎️

Newsom Budget Sacrifices Medi-Cal and Home Care as Federal Cuts Loom As federal policy destabilizes Medi-Cal and home care nationwide, Governor Newsom’s proposed 2026–27 budget will determine whether California protects care or allows it to be dismantled... 🧵 1/3 (a #FundMedical thread)

Today, in a massive show of support, 1,025 organizations, including immigrant justice, human rights, civil rights, faith, and labor organizations, sent a letter to members of Congress to express horror, outrage & deep grief about the recent shooting deaths by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Yesterday, we joined over 1,000 national, state and local organizations in a letter to Congress demanding for accountability and an “immediate halt in all funding for these deadly operations until the violence, abuses, and deaths in American communities and in immigration detention centers stop.” 🧵

“Wael’s death… reveals the human cost of detention decisions made without considering disability, the dangers disabled people encounter in ICE custody, and the far-reaching effects of immigration policies that have weakened the nation’s caregiving infrastructure.” #ICEOut #AbolishICE

This is urgent. Call your Senators and tell them to vote no on funding #ICE. The vote is happening this week. (202) 224-3121. Script from WFP below.

Grateful to organized labor for putting together this vigil to remember Alex Pretti, thereby also continuing coordinated action in response to ICE. Each collective act builds "muscle memory" for even bigger collective actions—which we'll need to take, as the stakes inevitably rise here too in NYC.

We have until tomorrow to make it crystal clear to our Senators: NOT ONE MORE DOLLAR FOR ICE AND CBP. 📣Take action now & tag your friends to join you: act.nilc.org/page/93101/a... Hold your loved ones and communities close. Rest in power, Alex Pretti.

On Friday, Hand in Hand staff and members joined thousands of others who took to the streets in solidarity with Minnesota to demand ICE Out of our communities. 🧵1/6 (an #ICEOut thread)

It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well…. #alexpretti

This is Alex Pretti. He had a life, a family, a future — and he was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Hug your families today. ❤️ We must all show up for each other.

BREAKING: House passed an appropriations bill that will continue to fund DHS and ICE. Our demands haven't changed. Contact your Senators and tell them to VOTE NO on any budget that funds ICE's terrorizing of our communities. When we say #ICEOutForGood, we mean it.

Bring Liam home! 5-year-old Liam Ramos was detained while he returned home from pre-school with his father. Now, Liam is separated from his family, his classmates, and his home. No child should experience the fear and cruelty of family separation. #FamiliesBelongTogether

ICE is using children as bait. The cruelty is the point. Look at this photo of a terrified 5-year-old and ask yourself: Is this how I want my tax dollars spent? Then tell your members of Congress right now and make it clear: NO MORE FUNDING FOR DHS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

“If that means that you can donate, if that means that you can deliver groceries, if that means you can go on a walk through your neighborhood with a whistle and patrol. … If you can do any one of these things. This isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.”

A year in, so many way the federal government’s policies and actions are harming women and families. We’re fighting it all, but especially #8, #15, #49! Read more from @npwf.bsky.social #FairPay4HomeCare #ProtectMedicaid #SanctuaryHomes nationalpartnership.org/one-year-in-...

The Safe Communities Act is a crucial piece of legislation. But it wasn't designed to stand alone. By refusing to provide full protections to New Jersey's immigrant communities, @govmurphy.bsky.social is allowing ICE and immigrant detention to continue terrorizing New Jersey families.

Millions are staring down higher premiums after enhanced ACA tax credits expired. Instead of lowering healthcare costs, Trump’s pushing a vague framework and veto threats. Congress: do your job. Extend the credits, protect coverage, and bring down drug costs for real. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
