NCYL's Becky Wolozin spoke with @themarshallproject.org about ICE's long-term detention of kids:
"The goal of this administration is to create as much pain as possible to the most vulnerable people in the hopes that that will mean they can more easily carry out whatever their deportation goals are."
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

He’s going to try and escalate even further with Venezuela, illegally, and he’s going to say it’s bc of fentanyl.

Venezuela does not make or move fentanyl into the US.

(It would be a huge deal if they did.)

Do not fall for it. Overdoses are indeed horrible but Venezuela isn’t to blame.

apropos of nothing, you should read about and fully digest Executive Order 9066 and perform a little thought experiment about what you’d have been willing to do if you were alive in an era where an entire group of immigrants were unilaterally imprisoned for nothing more than their country of origin

If you’re wondering why Trump never accused Venezuela of stealing our oil in his first term or the first 8 months of this term it’s because he just made it up right now.

Trump is hurtling us toward a completely unnecessary war with Venezuela without congressional approval because his polling numbers are at historic lows, and he's decided the lives of young women and men in our military are justifiable collateral as a PR strategy.

While the media chums it up with Greene, reminder that she has a bill going before the House today to make it a *federal crime* to provide or advocate for healthcare for trans youth.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "What I'd like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president. When he looks into a camera and says 'affordability is a hoax,' he's talking to Americans that are suffering and have been for many years now."

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

You ban gender affirming care, people will just get it from an online source.
