Republicans will rip your healthcare away, close your rural hospitals, shut down the government and *checks notes* blame it on immigrants.

WATCH: ICE agent VICIOUSLY shoves and tackles a woman who is upset after masked men dragged off her husband. Sickening. (From Elaad Eliahu)

The most corrupt administration in history. I can’t believe we even have to say it but this is not normal.

This is the nation’s top immigration official. Most corrupt administration in history. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-scandal-...

@voteluismata.bsky.social just an appreciation. Use to be involved with CWA, saw ya holding sign somewhere. Heard ya speak. Seen ya at some events. Thank you for organizing in Tennessee. It means something. You belong.

Game day

Tune in now to hear powerful testimonies from real people (including a TN neighbor) about the federal government’s indiscriminate kidnapping and disappearance of our neighbors. m.youtube.com/watch?v=m47G...

This Thursday, 9/18, @jayapal.house.gov is hosting a shadow hearing to shine a light on the lawlessness and harm of Trump’s mass deportation regime. With @tnimmigrant.bsky.social, we're supporting two brave witnesses — Chelsea White & Mimi Lettunich — in advocating for their loved ones in D.C.

Tune in tomorrow: m.youtube.com/watch?v=m47G... Proud to rep @tnimmigrant.bsky.social

Happy first day of Hispanic Heritage Month, mi gente! Nunca seremos vencidos.

Thank you candidates for TN’s Congressional District 7 for showing up for working families!

Our local communities shouldn’t be in the deportation business. TN funds 30+ 287g agreements between ICE and local law enforcement agencies (with our tax dollars) ripping families apart and eroding trust. Tennesseans deserve safety, dignity & opportunity, not mass deportation.

In Tennessee, rural hospitals are closing at some of the highest rates in the country but ICE gets to open a privately-run detention center. The amount handed to ICE in Trump’s budget bill is enough to run 50 rural hospitals for more than a decade.

Back in 2021, a coalition of community members and organizers came together to stop this from happening. We can do it again.

TN Republicans don’t work for you, they work for billionaires who: • dig tunnels for the rich under Nashville • pollute Black neighborhoods in Memphis • cage immigrants for profit from a Nashville HQ

Todos somos Kilmar.

The AFL-CIO’s It’s Better In A Union Bus Tour came to town! TIRRC joined in solidarity with our union brothers and sisters fighting for freedom, fairness, and security for ALL Tennesseans.

I’m incredibly honored and grateful to have been awarded the 2025 Tennessee Democratic Party Chairs Award. This is for mi gente. The working class, the organizers, the everyday people who resist with courage, find joy in the struggle, & shake up the status quo. El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido.

ChatGPT took the em dash away from us and I’ll never fully recover

From MacArthur Park to Tennessee and everywhere in between & beyond, immigrants belong.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

ICYMI — the reconciliation bill allocates $150 BILLION (one hundred fifty billion united states dollars) for immigration enforcement.

Working Tennesseans/Americans will lose their healthcare because the federal government wants to separate immigrant moms from their kids.

Hear me out: Pale, stale, and frail candidate era is over. Challenge the status quo. No more politics as usual. Put working people first. Organize organize organize.

The people: we literally just want better public schools and lower cost of living. Trump admin: best we can do is disappear your neighbors and another war.

I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this. Masked federal agents disappearing community members and elected officials is not normal.

This is the kind of bold and courageous leadership we need in this moment. If you’re operating business as usual, then step up or step aside.

The Bullwark just posted this from Padilla's staff, that's Senator Padilla on the ground.

Since it came out, I’ve been recommending this book to anyone looking to further their analysis on our immigration landscape. Given our current moment, you should go read this book.

ICE didn't exist until 2003 and doesn’t need to exist now. It’s not a radical take.

The Stonewall Uprising ignited the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Led by trans & queer activists, the community stood up to police injustice. Today, that legacy is under attack. We must defend our shared history—the voices that have been at the heart of this movement. #PrideMonth

(I can’t stop unironically wearing mine so) PSA: we are reclaiming Bass Pro Shops hats

The radical right has been turning a human rights issue into a political issue for years to further their own agenda. They don’t care about policy or people, they care about media farming. Part of reclaiming the narrative is refusing to fuel their fire and not taking the bait.

Today's action is the single largest mass-illegalization event in US history. 350,000 people woke up this morning with legal status, living and working here with official permission. They'll go to bed as undocumented immigrants facing deportation.

And lastly, thanks to @voteluismata.bsky.social and @tnimmigrant.bsky.social for letting us know how we can help our immigrant neighbors. Here's the link for those who want to join in on the "Block Walk" canvassing with TIRRC on Saturday: www.mobilize.us/tirrcvotes/e...

This Wednesday: we're adding extra time at the end of our meeting to give space for @tnimmigrant.bsky.social and @voteluismata.bsky.social who will help us make sense of the recent ICE raids and what we can do to help the immigrant community. 🦞 RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/tappactionco...

For immediate release

They’re now arresting elected officials who reject their anti-Constitutional agenda. “Then they came for the judges and I did not speak out because I was not a judge”

The TN legislature adjourned and HB793, the bill aimed at kicking kids out of school for where they were born, is officially not advancing this year. As a proud product of Tennessee’s public school system while undocumented, this fight is personal. Education belongs to all of us.

A reminder to the Majority Leader:

Education is a right, not a privilege. And it belongs to all of us.
