🚨 The Laken Riley Act expands mass detention & threatens civil rights. It allows mandatory detention before conviction & fuels racial profiling. This isn’t about safety—it’s scapegoating.

📢 Speak out. Vote. Support immigrant rights.

Powerful statement from my former boss @chelliepingree.bsky.social on why she voted NO on the #LakenRileyAct.

I am grateful to all House Dems who voted NO. I wish other House Democrats who voted for it like immoral cowards reflect on their actions and urge every Senate Dem to vote against it.

The #LakenRileyAct isn't just cruel—it's a mental health disaster. Indefinite detention without charges is psychological torture, breeding anxiety & depression lasting long after release. This isn't justice; it's state-sanctioned trauma. Some farmworkers are already leaving! #NoRacialProfilingLaws

Oh Btw this moral panic trap Dems sprinted into re TikTok is not any different than the buffoonery of recent week when they collaborated with Republicans on #LakenRileyAct
Me in May 2023

“Democrats and Republicans both calling for some kind TikTok regulation immediately reminds me of the bipartisan consensus that Something Must Be Done About Iraq. When the political parties agree on things it always raises an alarm bell with me” www.oliverexplains.com/p/ai-tiktok-...

Just a friendly reminder that there are #Democrats that are responsible for the #Gestapo #ICE at our work and neighborhoods.

Joined @tonolatino.bsky.social to talk #LakenRileyAct an 8 page MAGA messaging bill, with possible real racial profiling consequences for non-immigrants. We should have real conversations about immigration enforcement, but this is a poorly written bill that could shred some peoples civil liberties.

The #LakenRileyAct claims to protect Americans, but here’s the truth: It empowers abusers, silences victims, destroys lives, and undermines due process. Let’s break it down: 🧵
#NoRacialProfilingLaws #StopTheLakenRileyAct
Imagine this: An undocumented wife plans to escape her abusive U.S. citizen husband. He falsely accuses her of theft, and under the Laken Riley Act, she’s detained without proof. This bill empowers abusers, silences victims, and destroys lives.

We traveled to GA in the midst of a pandemic to help @ossoff.bsky.social win his special election and flip Georgia blue.

I was so proud of this photo at a *checks caption* LATINO MEET & GREET event on that cold January morning.

‼️Jon Ossoff just threw all of us to the MAGA coyotes.‼️

Together with LakenRileyAct thanks to @gallego.senate.gov this could also include "suspected" shoplifters who get no Due Process?

The #LakenRileyAct will lead to the arrest and indefinite, mandatory detention of immigrant children in dangerous facilities - without any judicial finding that a criminal offense has been committed. We urge U.S. Senators to vote NO. Ask them to vote no: https://buff.ly/3q6rF2s

Chellie posted her statement laying out her position against #LakenRileyAct here - worth giving her a lot of love amplifying this thread. Right now we need courageous leaders - and when folks step up let's reward them.
🧵 I’ve received a lot of questions and comments about why I voted NO on the Laken Riley Act.

Here’s why: (1/5)

Oh look, another GOP meltdown because a judge’s daughter has opinions. Meanwhile, Clarence Thomas is out here collecting yachts like Pokémon cards and that’s just “Thursday.” #GOPHypocrisy #LakenRileyAct #EthicsForTheeNotMe #DemocracyDiesInDaughtersApparently

This bill is nothing but another piece in the puzzle to oppress and deport immigrants. If they really wanted to prevent kids being murdered, they would address the gun issue and White Male terrorism.

"Tell your members of Congress: Do not succumb to a political ploy that manipulates a tragic act to demonize and criminalize an entire group of people. Vote NO on the Laken Riley Act."

#LakenRileyAct

The Senate is planning to expand this bill Monday, before final vote. (You can call them 24/7!)
Urgent action: Tell Congress to vote NO on Laken Riley Act!

It exploits an awful tragedy to expand mandatory detention & mass deportations, will lead to many more people being detained w/o bond, will have a disproportionate impact on Black & Brown ppl
Tell Congress: Vote NO on the Laken Riley Act
Tell your members of Congress: Do not succumb to a political ploy that exploits a tragic act to demonize and criminalize an entire group of people. Vote NO on the Laken Riley Act. Take action now!

Families belong together, not in detention centers fighting for their humanity. The #LakenRileyAct weaponizes racial profiling. Call your Senators at (202) 224-3121 and ask that they reject this bill. #NoRacialProfilingLaws www.youtube.com/shorts/37bcz...
