ICE violence against women is increasingly visible — and has gone largely untracked. Masked, excessively violent, and unaccountable agents have no place in our communities. bit.ly/49r83Qz
Trump and his supporters have long planned to find an opportunity to invoke the insurrection Act to crack down on dissent. Don’t be fooled. There is no justification for invoking #InsurrectionAct #ICEOut #MasksOffRightsOn washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…
ICE agents tear-gassed a car with six children inside—the youngest just 6 months old. ICE's reckless aggression is indiscriminate and out of control. We demand accountability NOW: cbsnews.com/minnesota/news…
A father-of-six tells Sky's @MarthaKelner that his children, aged between six months and 11 years old, have been taken to hospital after a US Immigration Enforcement and Customs (ICE) agent threw tear gas at his family car in Minneapolis.
Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday. Dr. King spoke with moral clarity even when it was costly. On his birthday, we remember that his vision for this country was rooted in equal protection for all.

National civil rights and Latino leaders demand federal accountability
"This is not what we set out to do when we said that there was going to be an America that lived up to its ideals. We are literally funding the destruction of our rights & our communities over our ability to see a doctor when we're sick." — Maya Wiley, @civilrightsorg
This past weekend, our President & CEO Maya Wiley joined Stand Up Mobile's 5th anniversary. The celebration was a powerful reminder that our voting rights history continues to shape ballot access today. Grateful to stand with organizers who know this work starts locally. ✊🏾
We deserve to know how systems that claim so much power actually function. An agency struggling to recruit, offering bonuses and fast-tracked interviews, wrapped in propaganda, while wielding enormous power over people’s lives with little accountability.
A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I'm real outspoken about my opinion of the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate slate.com/news-and-polit…
Rest in power, Claudette Colvin. 🕊️✊🏾 At just 15 years old, she challenged segregation by refusing to give up her seat, helping lay the groundwork for the modern civil rights movement. Her courage continues to inspire the fight for justice today.
Demanding that immigrants follow the rules while closing the doors makes it all plain. “US suspending immigrant visa processing from 75 countries over public assistance” apple.news/AHr5IGYKtTSe13…
Civil Rights Pioneer Claudette Colvin Dies at 86Claudette Colvin, Whose Defiance Helped End Bus Segregation, Dies at 86 - Capital B News. As a friend said, “Let the bells ring for our revolutionary Sista on whose shoulders we stand.” What a “BADASS!” capitalbnews.org/claudette-colv…
2 teenage girls are at the center of Supreme Court cases this week: 𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙑𝙞𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙖 𝙫. 𝘽𝙋𝙅 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙫. 𝙃𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙭, because they wanted to play sports like their peers. Our community rose as a TEAM in support of trans youth. All kids should feel welcomed.
For too many families, an encounter with ICE changes everything. If you’ve witnessed or experienced conduct by an ICE agent that felt illegal or abusive, your story matters. You don’t have to share it alone. Your identity will be protected. 📣 Speak up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
The ICE agent who killed Renee Good was filming on his phone while he shot and killed her. Policing experts agree: This raises serious questions about his training. Minimally trained and often anonymous law enforcement have no place in our communities. n.pr/3Lrp43O
Colorado's Supreme Court declares certain crimes "off-limits" to excessive sentence challenges—erasing constitutional rights for entire categories of people. Two justices are finally pushing back, calling it a barrier that must end: bit.ly/4r4ivn5
ICE is out of control—and the public knows it. After killing a woman in broad daylight, ICE now won’t cooperate with a police investigation. The results are clear: A lawless agency has no place in our democracy.
2025 was ICE's deadliest year in two decades. 32 people died in custody from suicide, medical neglect, and preventable illness. Now, the violence in our communities continues to escalate. This is not “protection.” bit.ly/4qcS8ep #MasksOffRightsOn
Innovation without equity and fairness is not innovation. When left unchecked, AI systems can create real-world harm. bit.ly/42tQiMP
