Where’s the “I’m scared of defund the police” crowd when you need them? Still scared?!
Cops are *not* going to protect you from other cops. And despite lip service to the contrary, your local elected officials will order their cops to enable ICE. It’s just a question of degree.

If you care so much, why don’t you come up in support of @mayorofchicago.bsky.social Ice on Notice executive order and tell SA Burke to stop making excuses and prosecute these criminals? You came up to attack the Mayor during budget season with a bunch of gibberish, what now?

![EASY SHARABLE SCRIPT FOR CALLING SENATORS
Hi Senator LAST NAME],
My name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm an) [YOUR STATE] resident. I'm calling to urge you to filibuster the upcoming Homeland Security appropriations bill. I'm sick of watching lawful citizens and noncitizens being arrested at their jobs, assaulted at peaceful protests, pulled out of their vehicles, blinded by munitions, and getting shot and killed. Senators like you need to filibuster this bill so that ICE doesn't get another penny. It already has $18.75 billion for 2026 - it doesn't need another $10 billion. My fellow YOUR STATE'S RESIDENTS] and I will be watching your vote - and we will remember, I promise.
My name again is [YOUR NAME] and my contact info is
YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND/ OR EMAIL]. My zip code is [YOUR ZIP CODE].
Thanks for listening and please do the right thing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:msuai3bnnkh4wgft4qdnuayw/bafkreia3toasgia5qfcdva4mcer6pp6adpbkve6csf7jc4hox7k4jq4e7e@jpeg)
