Just for clarity, I am a progressive (socialist democrat, I guess), an ally & advocate for all minorities (POC, LGBTQ+, women, etc.), neurodivergent (Audhd), artist, woman business owner, animal lover, art therapist, & mom to awesome kids. This country's decline saddens me greatly. #tylasmith

After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.
He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year.

If even a small percentage of our military budget actually went to benefit people in this country we would be so much better off.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

NEW: We took a deep dive into ICE's data dragnet: the data brokers, biometrics tools, and license plate readers powering Trump's deportation effort. Some of the contracts are for tools previous administrations deemed too intrusive.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
