DHS set a departure date — then went silent. No information, no plane tickets.

Months in, she feels trapped in a country that doesn’t want her.

“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates hav...

Change of pace, and it felt good.

After all the chaos and cruelty coming out of Trump’s circus, it was great sharing a space with people fighting for the same cause. Productive. Human. No fear.

What was your favorite moment today? Here’s mine 🤣

"Quick let's put the focus on disabled people having cars so that we can push the benefits cuts through the back door and create rhetoric to go even further next year".

This is what they're doing. It's sickening.

I was a nonverbal kid and honestly it makes me very uncomfortable knowing a good chunk of USAmericans and RFK jr felt I shouldn’t have been allowed to live because of it

I’m very privileged for eventually gaining communication skills, but they describe kids who were like me. I was one of those kids

don't attribute to malice that which could be explained by autism

I'm sorry I didn't look you in the eyes during our brief interaction, dear customer, it's not because I'm disgusted by your presence it's because it's actually SUPER FUCKIN HARD FOR ME thank you

I am disgusted by you now, though

these No Kings Protests MATTER.

try to remember that an important part about getting out of a cult like MAGA is knowing that there is a community on the other side that will welcome you. each person moving an inch closer to truth, justice, and freedom for all is a WIN

So proud to kick off today’s inspiring, record setting No Kings rally in DC.

Twice the size of the first No Kings DC rally.

Nationally, the early numbers suggest today was the BIGGEST DAY OF PEACEFUL PROTEST IN OUR NATION’S HISTORY.

LFG. We have a democracy to save.
