.@ICEgov is secretly maneuvering right now to make it even easier for them to keep people in cages and launch mass raids in immigrant communities, so we wanted to break it down for you in a THREAD. 1/
As part of the fight to #DefundHate, Congress must end ICE’s “transfer and reprogramming authority.” What that means is that we want Congress to tell ICE they can’t steal money from other agencies (like the $10 mil they stole from FEMA last year). 2/ npr.org/2018/09/12/647…
Now, ICE is using this authority *again* to spend more money than Congress says they can. And they’re doing it to expand their abuses, such as conducting raids like the one that separated families in Mississippi or caging people indefinitely in concentration camps. 3/
Members of Congress MUST stand up to ICE. And they've got to do it quickly on this particular fight. You can take action right now by:

☎ Calling your members to tell them to reject ICE’s money grab: act.indivisible.org/call/reject-IC…

And remember, this is all leading up to the funding fight in September. You should be planning your event right now for 9/9-9/13 to demand your MoCs stand up to Trump's racist immigration agenda. 5/5

Here’s what we honestly believe: We’re going to win. 🧵
We know the polls are chaotic, but based on every input we have — the Indivisible groups in the field, the anecdotes from the doors, the quality of the campaigns, the dominant policy issues at play, the volunteer energy, and the voter enthusiasm — we believe we will win.
But belief isn’t enough. You still have the power to influence the outcome with one day left to go.

No matter where you live, you can make a difference in this election over the next 24 hours! Plug in your zip code and we’ll show you all your options. 👇 majorityovermaga.org/all-in?source=…

Labor Day is about celebrating the progress won by American workers. And on this Labor Day, it's worth celebrating the resurgence of unions in our country.

This summer has provided plenty of examples of the power of unions, collective action, and solidarity. 🧵 Image

Writers have been on strike in Hollywood since May and actors joined them in July. After 4 months and countless cringeworthy comments by studio executives, the unions remain united in their fight for fair compensation and protections against AI usage. latimes.com/entertainment-…

We just won the most important election of 2023! @janetforjustice’s victory tonight creates a liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court ahead of anticipated seismic cases on abortion access, voting rights, and fair maps. This is a huge win for our democracy!
It puts an end to the judicial rubber stamp for the rigged legislature’s experiments in anti-majoritarian governance in a state that has become a testing ground for the GOP’s efforts to lock in minority rule across the country.
This win will likely result in abortion rights being restored in the state. It could lead to the first fair elections in years for the state’s legislature and even result in newly competitive seats in the House ahead of 2024.

What’s happening in Nashville this week is about gun violence and our continued fight for our lives. It’s also about the MAGA GOP’s reflexive need to attack our democracy any time they’re confronted with the deadly consequences of their policies. 🧵tn.chalkbeat.org/2023/4/3/23668…
Students at school, congregants at places of worship, shoppers at grocery stores: no matter who we are, we're all at continued risk because of legislative inaction. Folks in Tennessee, like countless communities devastated by gun violence, are literally fighting for their lives.
Most people want our government to do something about gun violence. Many made their voices heard in Nashville this week. At first, this outcry was met with disturbing indifference: TN’s own @RepTimBurchett admitted they weren’t going to fix the problem. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Speaking of shameful, let's talk about some of the actually shameful things @RealMarkFinchem does (like being too afraid to @ us).

Let’s start with being a self-identified member of the Oath Keepers. time.com/6203011/mark-f… Image
Mark Finchem isn’t just talk though - he traveled across the country to join his fellow Oath Keepers for the insurrection on January 6 at the US Capitol.

Mark Finchem didn’t just attend the January 6 riots though, he was a key planner in starting this dangerous campaign in Arizona.

*taps microphone* And now an important message from Secretary @HillaryClinton!

We're all focused on winning the midterms and defending our congressional majorities. That’s critical. But we also must take the fight to MAGA Republicans at the state level: crushthecoup.org
All our Crush the Coup candidates are running in highly competitive races and we’ve identified one from each state who is facing extra challenges that an infusion of late cash will help them overcome. If you're able, please consider making a donation: secure.actblue.com/donate/crushth… Image
These are races we can win but these six candidates need more support. People running for state legislature don’t have the benefit of big email lists, media coverage, or nationwide name recognition, but their races could very well determine what kind of democracy we have in 2024. Image
