FREE BASKETBALL #WNBA

Gavin Newsom went on TV, called Tom Homan a bitch, and said he if he wanted arrest him he knew where to find him. Maxine Waters told an ICE agent to his if they planned to shoot her they should at least shoot straight. I really don't know what you want from them right now.

One thing that’s really shone as a difference between Golden state and other squads this year is; they play well *together*. They play unselfish ball, and also unburdened. They have scoring leaders but there’s more than 1-2 ppl relied on to make all the points. #WNBA

now this one is a bird 🪶

I literally do not give a flying fuck about ANYTHING else going on in the United States more than I care about the use of force by the government against the American people, and you absolutely shouldn’t, either. It is a blatant abuse of power & the death of our country if we do not fight back.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

*taps the sign*

I stayed up nights for years programming Waymos to feel pain but it was worth it

ABC suspended reporter Terry Moran for a now-deleted tweet calling Stephen Miller a “world class hater.” They said it violates their standards. Here’s a thought…maybe your standards should allow calling out white nationalism and hate when you see it.

Be careful out there, you brave, beautiful LA folks.

On Friday, military-gear-clad ICE agents launched aggressive raids throughout Los Angeles. SEIU, USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained while advocating for immigrant workers. Call the Senate at 1-833-312-1711 & demand they fight to free David Huerta & end ICE raids!

Generally a real shame when an injury turns out to be exactly what it looked like the moment it happens. Ugh. Get well soon, Sloot. #WNBA

Los Angeles — violence is never the answer. Assaulting law enforcement is never ok. Indeed, doing so plays directly into the hands of those who seek to antagonize and weaponize the situation for their own gain. Don’t let them succeed.

Also, ICYMI: Trump and Hegseth have both threatened to deploy the Marines. Everyone, if you're not in CA and looking for a way to help? Demand your electeds call this out. Call them. Do it now. I'll defer to the lawyers, but deploying Marines => using the Insurrection Act.

This is good work

Not only is he lying, using "less-than lethal" munitions against peaceful protesters and journalists is a crime. I hope California's Senators and Representatives are prepared to call for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Noem tomorrow.

My hope is that the House and Senate will liberate US from HIM and his cabinet. They mock their oath to defend the Constitution with their words and actions every day they show up for work.

These people are the best of us.

If you haven't heard about the documents that Judge Xinis just unsealed in the Abrego Garcia case, it's your lucky day. I wrote it up here. Free to subscribe: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

Non-Violence is not pacifist. The intention is to expose the violence of the oppressor in contrast, direct actions are not pacifism, but confrontation. Don’t get these things confused when you hear calls to remain non-violent. It’s a well honed tactic, which, reveals state violence, effectively.

My statement on disturbing reports that immigrants showing up for routine check-ins with ICE in Los Angeles are being detained and held in the basement of the Roybal Fed Building. I demand to go in and get answers.

SEIU-USWW President, my friend, and constituent David Huerta was thrown to the ground, tased, injured and arrested for exercising his 1st Amdnt right to observe and document law enforcement activity. This isn’t just an overreach — it’s a nationwide pattern of suppression. We must stand together.

Trump says he’s going after criminals but ICE is targeting parents at graduations, and workers just doing their check-ins. What they didn’t count on was our community showing up. Right after landing from DC, I went to help deescalate tensions. We won't stand by while our communities are targeted.

🚨I’m here with @RepLuzRivas, @RepNormaTorres & @RepLouCorrea at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

I’m invoking my legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight. Families are being held inside—no basic necessities…in inhumane conditions. ICE doesn’t get to hide behind locked doors. This isn’t a request. It’s my job. And if they try to block me, they’re breaking the law.

DHS is breaking the law by blocking me and Reps. Rivas, Torres, and Correa from conducting oversight. That’s not a misunderstanding—it’s a violation of federal law. I’m demanding #SecNoem launch an immediate investigation. If her agency won’t follow the law, she needs to answer for it.

Oversight is our job. And we’re not going away. Members of Congress must be able to oversee federal agencies—that’s not optional, it’s the law. #RepNormaTorres #RepLuzRivas #reploucorrea
