Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.
Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Rep Pramila Jayapal: "Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later.
The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point."

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

If immigration judges are neutral and independent as due process requires, then they must be independent from the Executive Branch.
We must move immigration judges from Article II to Article I to provide a check on a lawless administration like this one.

The perfect holiday.
In Iceland, books are exchanged as Christmas Eve presents. Then you spend the rest of the night in bed reading them and eating chocolate. Sounds perfect to me.

Part of my 6 waking hours in Madrid. Arrived at hotel, checked in and took a shower. Got a text from my sister saying our 86 yo mother fell and broke her leg. Made arrangements to cancel plans and book a flight back the following day. Still waiting for travel insurance decision. #travel #Spain
