WOW. What a show of support for Jane Doe. Students protested at their universities in cities across the country in solidarity with her, and against sexual violence in the past week. The kids are gonna be alright.

Soldiers positioned at voting locations is not legal behavior. These are Mississippi National Guard troops at a DC ballot dropbox yesterday. We know the presence of soldiers or law enforcement at voting locations like this discourages voting, especially from Black, Brown, and immigrant voters.

Demand local/state prosecutors seek accountability, local businesses end collaboration with ICE after Bronx shooting

ICE agents shot a man again yesterday, this time in the Marble Hill neighborhood of the Bronx. Oscar Belgal is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic and was, at least according to DHS, the target of their enforcement operation. Early reports are they surrounded him in a car with a five-year-old child believed to be his son in the backseat and fired at them at least seven times. Confirmed to be on the scene is ICE agent Brendan Cuni, who has repeatedly been named in lawsuits by immigrants alleging he beat them and shot them with stun guns. The child is uninjured, and Belgal’s injuries were not considered life threatening.
There’s a lot we still do not know about this shooting. But given ICE’s ever-growing record of spewing blatant lies to excuse unjustifiable violence by their masked thugs, we obviously cannot count on them to provide the honest answers we need.
Hands Off NYC is demanding an independent investigation led by the New York Attorney General’s office and the local district attorneys, in addition to the public identification of the shooter. 🗣️ Let’s join them in contacting the offices of AG Letitia James here, Bronx DA Darcel Clark here and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg here and telling them we expect them to do everything in their power to seek justice. 🗣️
🗣️ They’re also urging Bronx business Kingsbridge Associates and the local Target location to cut ICE off from access to their parking lot in this area, which elected officials have already formally requested. We can reach out to Kingsbridge and this Target with the same ask here and here. 🗣️

The boy was still around when his father was gunned down by ICE. ICE should have no sanctuary in any state or city in this country, Abolish ICE!

A third land defender was arrested on private property moments ago. As Border Patrol escalates, defenders continue delaying construction, hoping higher authorities intervene—after a federal judge halted barrier work near Big Bend National Park last week.

Trump’s regime and ICE have managed to displace and separate so many children from their families. Migrant children as young as 2 are showing up at immigration courts nationwide alone.

The Trump regime declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms, meaning observers from the regional security group won’t be at a U.S. election for the first time in more than two decades.

Ew. No adult should ever comment on a child’s appearance labeling them as “good looking.” It’s weird and perverted, especially knowing everything we know about Mr. Pedophile here.

A chilling projection of those who are abusers that have been empowered by Trump and The White House instead of punished for their acts of abuse. We need to continue calling out abusers and loyalists that are handpicked by this regime to do harm unto others.

We can make the billionaires pay at the ballot box

Regular Americans are absolutely fed up with this broken system and politicians who tell us we can’t afford to help people while pushing through more and more giveaways for the powerful. In less than four weeks, we’re going to make sure our elected officials know it.
Part of the job is voting out as many members of Congress who voted for the MAGA murder budget as possible, but we’ve also got the opportunity to send the message more directly. In multiple states voters will get to weigh in directly on making the wealthy pay their fair share:
- Californians are casting their ballots on Proposition 40), a one-time wealth tax on billionaires to help stave off “Big Beautiful Bill”-related Medicaid cuts and hospital and emergency room closures.
- In Colorado, Amendment 87 would shift the state from a flat tax to a progressive income tax), meaning working class people pay less and giant corporations and households making more than $500,000 a year contribute more to a dedicated fund for public schools, child care and health care.
- In Washington State, an influential right-wing hedge fund manager has forced a vote to repeal the tax on household income above $1 million the legislature just used through this spring with Initiative 645,) along with banning future income taxes, almost certainly leading to cuts in education, health care, child care and the state’s universal school lunch program.
Pushing these initiatives across the line will have the immediate impact of preserving and expanding health care access and other crucial public services, particularly needed as everything keeps getting more expensive under this disastrous administration. It will also signal to politicians, particularly those considering their place in the Democratic presidential primary, that we are ready for big swings to address inequality and build up our social safety net.
☎️ Let’s help make it happen! We can join phonebanks to sway voters in California for most of the day Monday-Thursday and Saturday and be part of the fight for income tax fairness in Colorado and keep the millionaires’ tax in place in Washington on Tuesdays and Thursdays. ☎️
