Forcing Haitian immigrants to wear ankle monitors is dehumanizing. It reduces human beings to objects of surveillance and treats vulnerable people as though they are undeserving of freedom, compassion, and dignity.
We should reject policies that humiliate, intimidate, and criminalize vulnerable communities.
No immigration policy should require us to surrender our humanity.
Human dignity must remain nonnegotiable.

Black women said a second trump term would destroy this country. They said trump would try to exact his revenge. They said that all people of color would be harmed. They said women would be attacked. They said Project 2025 was real. Black women owe this country nothing.

Tennessee Rep. @RepDavidKustoff projects as he covers for the latest ICE murders, helping Homan blame no body cams on Dems when ICE has the cameras/money
By doing this Kustoff is enabling ICE to kill again. And again.

If you needed any more reasons not to support @SenBrentTaylor, here’s another one
“President Donald Trump is throwing his support behind Brent Taylor in the newly redrawn 9th Congressional District race.”

@HolidayInn @IHGCorporate I need your help. I am at Holiday Inn Nashville Airport. Checked in on Sunday. For two days, my room did not receive service unless I requested it. Today, I took the matter to the building manager. Excuses were made. All I know is @Marriott would never!

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

SEN. @RonWyden: “Trump has set the new high water mark for public corruption… everybody in 🇺🇸 is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.”
