The Israeli and Palestinian hostages could have been home a year ago if Trump hadn’t undermined the Biden administration in his desperation to win the presidency and avoid jail.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Abuse of disabled people in immigration detention is a longstanding issue and it's escalating very fast right now. (Shoutout to orgs like Disability Rights CA, our state protection and advocacy organization, for fighting to get into ICE facilities.)

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Gronewold hasn't given specifics, but some Portland PD have already begun to threaten ICE with arrest if they assault or harm protestors.

"Oregon national guard serves 2 purposes. 1 to defend America and 2 to protect Oregonians. So by serving in this mission they would be protecting any protestors at the ice facility" is what Brigadier General Gronewold said, explaining what the deployment of the Oregon national guard would look like.
