The purpose of a system is what it does.
FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.
ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

There's nothing inherently sexual about being Trans. All of these Pedo weirdo lawmakers need to be called out for continously sexualizng the Trans community, especially children. Their Google histories should be checked ASAP. I'm sure it'd all be very telling. #ProtecttheDolls

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.
