This is wrong on every level. The Republicans don’t care about families. This makes that point very evident.

Where’s the party for children now? How is this ok under any circumstances? Taking a 13 year old child across the country away from his family?!! Anyone who thinks this is Ok is a monster. Shame them!!

with no official IDs, badges, or uniforms ICE is ripe for impersonators.

this is fully by design!

MAGA hopes vigilantes will do the dirty work of fomenting civil war! this is what the fascist Republicans have been working towards, they are nothing but hate and racism.

End ICE!

FL is now requiring public schools to share space with charter schools. This is going to have a negative impact on public education while lining the pockets of private corporations and billionaires

we absolutely need MORE of this, and any liberal corporate media who still believes in DEMOCRACY to band together

there is strength in #s to push back against the LIES and authoritarianism to call them out EVERY single minute

progressive media HAVE been doing this, and grateful for it 🙏🏻

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

ICE need to identify themselves and follow the required due process afforded anyone on US soil based on the constitution, full stop! We need to demand that as citizens. Looking forward to the No Kings protest to include our voices with the masses who are saying no to fascism and authoritarianism.

SayItToMyFace🚫👑 @sayittomyface.bsky.social · 2d

This isn’t surprising but without proper ID, I can easily see how it is happening. How do we, as citizens, ensure that proper ID and warrants are required by all Federal employees? I know some states are now requiring it.

“The Republicans who cut Medicaid & are refusing to lower health care costs for working families are the same politicians who gave $40 million of taxpayer dollars to President Trump to build a ‘garden of heroes.’”

Seriously.

This must be the response of every elected leader to the creeping fascism of the authoritarian Trump regime. Sacrificing our rights are freedoms to appease a tyrant only encourages him to take more until nothing is left. We must not obey in advance. We must fight tyranny head-on wherever it appears!

Please correct me if my memory is not accurate.

Didn't the MAGA Republicans spend the entire Biden presidency trying to impeach him based on allegations that he abused his office for his family's financial gain?

And why is it now ok for a president’s son to get a company board job?

Crimes against humanity are being committed at these “detention facilities “ aka concentration camps. We need to continue to raise this issue. Share it with your friends and family. They need to know the truth!

Democratic Hispanic Caucus of FL Alachua County Chapter @dhcfalachua.bsky.social · 5d

We all need to watch this. We all need to share it. The fact that ICE is going to schools, tearing children & parents away while they are doing drop off & pick up is abhorrent. Not only are they terrifying those families but all the children who witness this will never forget & will be traumatized!
