Shut IVE down and prosecute those that committed crimes —from the top down!
ICE is out of control. They're operating with impunity. They're doing things and getting away with stuff that regular cops, even your typical federal agents, can't do.
And we're just sitting back and taking it all in why?
ICE must be destroyed.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

They are splitting up Education programs to departments whose mission is not education. Trump's state department claims to be able to revoke immigration status at any time for any reason. Can you trust them with the info about who is in English learning programs? Education should not be a weapon.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

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.

This is what the fight demands of us. Bought-off politicians thought we’d take their gerrymander lying down — but they were wrong. Working people are fighting back.
It’s people versus money. And together, we will win.
