My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

If you’re cheering on federal overreach because it’s targeting “them” and not you, here’s your reminder: You’re not immune. You’re not special. You’re next.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

If ICE was hunting actual criminals, no one would care. But they’re rolling into neighborhoods like it’s a war zone - snatching moms, dads, and workers in front of their kids. Don’t tell me this is about safety. It’s about fear. It’s about power. And it’s disgusting.

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Weird how he didn’t call up the National Guard on January 6th.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

I love my Republican neighbors. I reject my Republican politicians.
