A whistleblower lawsuit has revealed that Colorado Governor Jared Polis has been illegally colluding with the Trump Administration to dox selfless community members who have opened their homes to unaccompanied migrant children. If the allegations described by the state labor director are true — which the Governor’s office has seemingly admitted to — Jared Polis must resign. Beyond being in violation of state laws he signed himself, the Governor’s decision to engage so openly with an agency as fundamentally depraved as ICE is a slap in the face to organizers who have worked tirelessly for decades to safeguard their communities from enforced disappearances and racist criminalization. This breach of public trust is a brutal reminder that even politicians who claim to be our allies will abandon us without regular accountability and ICE’s abolition. We must continue to demand more of our Democratic lawmakers. It is not enough to simply declare, “immigrants are welcome here”. Electeds uniquely suited to stand toe-to-toe with the Trump administration must actively obstruct all unconstitutional and inhumane efforts to criminalize immigration, not pave the way for the detention and deportation machine to prosper. Unlike Polis, the state labor director has exemplified the moral courage and responsibility we should expect from all of our representatives in the face of fascism. Our communities’ demand is crystal clear: stand firmly with us, or get out of the way.
How are they funding these cuts? Cutting SNAP/food stamp benefits Cut federal funding for benefits and administration while lowering the number of eligible Americans Restricting Medicaid access Banning Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care for youth, requiring employment for benefits, and more Ending climate programs Up to $5 billion cut from carbon emission reductions and other clean energy initiatives Vote against us, we'll vote against you.
NYT article: Avelo Airlines, a carrier that serves small cities mostly on the coasts, quashed a boycott campaign over its polarizing decision to operate federal deportation flights. Now, the creator of the campaign is suing to keep it going. Seth Miller, an independent aviation journalist and state lawmaker in New Hampshire, began the campaign last week with advertisements on two billboards near Avelo's busiest airport urging travelers to avoid the airline. The ads, near Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut, featured a modified Avelo logo and the message: "Does your vacation support their deportation? Just say AvelNO!" *** Mr. Miller was not alone in criticizing the airline's decision. Groups around the country, including the New Haven Immigrants Coalition, a collection of groups that support immigrants' rights, protested and started campaigns to pressure Avelo to drop its work with the government on deportation flights. Gen-Z for Change, a youth-led progressive group, introduced a tool last week that would allow people to overwhelm Avelo with useless applications in response to its job postings for the deportation flights.

Have you seen our FIGHT campaign? We're trying really hard to support the immigrant community in this incredibly difficult time... which led us right to your new job applications. Signing a contract with the Trump administration? Conducting deportation flights? Interesting business model.... We hope you didn't mind, but we decided to lend a hand by having our community send hundreds of "applications" to your flight attendant job listing to staff these flights. We're pretty sure the tool was a huge success, because you took the application down almost immediately. Now, we can only imagine how many qualified candidates you have to choose from. But our work isn't done here. We saw that you're now looking for a savvy new manager of mass deportation campaigns, sorry, we mean "manager of "special" charter missions" and guess what? We know just the people for the job! So, we're sending all of our friends to GZ4C.ORG/FIGHT/H to run our helpful tool to send them your way!
