One day, hopefully soon, we'll get our #vengeance against the reich-wing #fascists destroying our nation from the inside out.

Our vengeance will consist of:
• Restoring the #RuleOfLaw
• Welcoming #refugees, #asylumseekers, and other #immigrants
• Rebuilding #dueprocess and strengthening it against compromise
• Reinstating and strengthening the #separationofpowers
• Investing heavily in #science
• Re-engaging with our #allies and mending broken relationships
• Feeding the hungry, housing the #homeless protecting the vulnerable
• Rehabilitating women's control over their own bodies and #healthcare
• Replacing banned books in libraries and classrooms
• Ensuring those who acted illegally while in positions of power are held accountable for their choices

"Raúl learned my name. Mine, the busboy’s, dishwasher’s... He’d bum us cigarettes, with fingers gritty as ours & sometimes slide a fiver across the bar with a gruff, “Get yourself a beer, Pablo.” Grijalva was the only congressman who ever really saw us.

While Raúl was on air, his AZ offices were taking hits—threats, harassment, violence *prayed for his staff/fam.

He was ours in Congress swinging for migrants while the gringo suits just punched down."

The Texas family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained at an immigrant checkpoint.

Trump’s immigration crackdown is inhumane & illegal. The child, a US citizen, who’s recovering from brain cancer, was deported with her undocumented parents. Homan said he’d separate families or deport them all.

"Utterly unprecedented. As far as anyone can tell, no one in the last 100 years has EVER been charged with misdemeanor improper entry under 8 USC 1325 years after they entered the country, & certain never for asylum seekers who already have legal permission."

EMPLOYEES AT THE SPANISH-LANGUAGE Univision were left distraught after the NET’s brass decided to run DHS ads warning #immigrants that the govt will find & deport them.

The ads *part of a new $200M campaign DHS, have rankled immigrant-rights grps, who view them as a blunt attempt at fearmongering on the taxpayer dime.

Univision has covered the ads critically on air.

Yet Univision has joined English-language NETs in complying with #TrumpMusk regime's #Fascism.

Today in Labor History March 12, 1912: The IWW won their Bread and Roses textile strike in Lawrence, MA. This was the first strike to use the moving picket line, implemented to avoid arrest for loitering. The workers came from 51 different nationalities and spoke 22 different languages. The mainstream unions, including the American Federation of Labor, all believed it was impossible to organize such a diverse workforce. However, the IWW organized workers by linguistic group and trained organizers who could speak each of the languages. Each language group got a delegate on the strike committee and had complete autonomy. Big Bill Haywood and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn masterminded the strategy of sending hundreds of the strikers' hungry children to sympathetic families in New York, New Jersey, and Vermont, drawing widespread sympathy, especially after police violently stopped a further exodus. 3 workers were killed by police during the strike. Nearly 300 were arrested.

The 1911 verse, by Poet James Oppenheim, has been associated with the strike, particularly after Upton Sinclair made the connection in his 1915 labor anthology, “The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest”

As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men,
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!

ICE Reopens Newark, NJ Detention Center as Part of Trump’s War on Immigrants

News of ICE expansion in Newark, NJ is a reminder of the need for a combative, mass movement committed to fighting ICE with a perspective of class independence, unity in action, and the widest democracy possible.

Musk and Trump Bash Immigrants While Destroying Programs to Stabilize Their Home Countries

Attacks on two small agencies focused on foreign aid are working against MAGA’s supposed goals.

in case you're wondering how these kinds of things go down: "When Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, showed the agents his green card, “one agent was visibly confused and said on the phone, ‘He has a green card’,” according to the news release.

“However, after a moment, the DHS agents stated that the State Department had ‘revoked that too.’ Khalil’s wife then phoned his attorney, who spoke with the agents in an attempt to intervene,” WAWOG said. “When Khalil’s attorney requested that a copy of the warrant be emailed to her, the agent hung up the call.” "

"[Khalil] was arrested Saturday night by federal immigration authorities who said they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card, according to his attorney."

A proposed new law in Texas, by Republican Tom Oliverson, would make it illegal in that state to identify as trans, which he's calling "Gender Identity Fraud." The law would punish people who identify as trans with up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Probably not long before Trump tries to do the same on a federal level. Whoops, he kinda already did with passports.
And with his illegal transferring of trans women prisoners into male prisons, in violation of several court orders. There are already reports of sexual assaults against these women.

Remember, first they came for the trans folks, and undocumented immigrants, and people didn't speak up because they weren't one of them.

Then they came for documented immigrants and those with legal residency because they spoke out against the Genocide in Gaza; as well as cis women of color, because they didn't conform to white, bourgeois ideals of femininity.

No one is free unless we ALL are free.
