***This is an emergency bulletin for everyone in Austin.***
I need as many people who can do this to spread the word to any and all Austin contacts, DO NOT WAIT, tomorrow might be too late. This is from a trusted friend and a member of one of the internal offices of the Texas capital building who holds a significant position in the Texas government ranks. He’s also an LGBT ally.

FYI austin. From a trusted friend. “I heard at a chamber meeting this afternoon that ICE is going to do a door to door round up in Austin Thursday-Sunday. Apparently the White House heard about our Sheriff and is looking to make us an example with a big media blitz. Don’t know all your network connections and wanted to spread the word so organizations can encourage immigrant families to get out of town if possible”

Reblogging per request – normally this would go in RFM, but it’s an immediate potential event, and the “What to do if ICE shows up on your door” infographic is helpful regardless.
Governor Abbott is trying to strip our Sanctuary City status. Our Sheriff is doing her damnedest to keep that from happening.
“Our men and women in uniform, our intelligence and homeland security professionals, and our citizens should feel secure in their knowledge that the critical decisions made by the NSC are free from political considerations. The American people deserve a national security policymaking process that inspires confidence, not cynicism,” said Murphy in a House floor speech.
CALL THIS WOMAN’S OFFICE AND SAY THANK YOU. ENCOURAGE HER TO PUSH HARD FOR THIS BILL. CALL YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSPEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO SPONSOR/SUPPORT IT!
I called Representative Murphy’s office today and talked with a staffer - I’m not from Florida, and I told them so upfront, and asked how I could support this bill in my home state. The staffer said to definitely call my own state Representative and Senators, both - if we can find a Senator to support the bill, they can introduce it into the Senate and it can be voted on in both houses of Congress at the same time. IF YOU HAVE A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR, PLEASE CALL THEM AND ALERT THEM TO THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MEASURE, AND ASK THEM TO INTRODUCE IT TO THE SENATE.
He also said that calls to Representative Murphy’s office definitely help, in terms of tallying support for the measure in general.
PLEASE CALL.
ACTION ITEM: call your senators and ask them to support Rep. Murphy’s bill. Emphasize Bannon’s white supremacist ideology and his intention to destroy the state, and – especially with Republicans – MAKE IT PERSONAL. i have like 6 messages about how nice it feels to say politely, “Please tell the Senator that if she does not stand against Steve Bannon’s poisonous and destructive agenda, my community and I will ensure that someone else wins her seat in the next election. Thank you.” (it really feels so good, guys.)

Last message from this old man in Aleppo: ‘We don’t have anything left. Oh Arabs, where are you? We are being slaughtered. Save us.’
To everyone commenting on this video saying how they don’t feel like they can help, you absolutely can! Islamic Relief and Syria Relief are both registered charities running emergency Aleppo appeals, and even if you can’t donate, you can at least reblog or post on different social media sites or anything to get the word out.
