On April 24th, armed ICE agents broke into a home occupied by a family of American citizens in Oklahoma City in the middle of the night. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE broke down the door, terrorized the family, ripped apart the entire house. It's not other people that this is happening to. It's us. Due process is not some pie in the sky idea. It's what literally holds our country together. This family is all of us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

[THREAD] This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's not forget how many of our rights were only won in recent decades, and weren’t given by asking nicely and waiting. We need to fight for our rights. Here's are a few examples:
