Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

Looooool, get on the bus this morning to take us from the hotel to the Ford Museum and all the driver and convention assistant can talk about is the meltdown yesterday. This thing has legs, and if the Dems are smart, they’ll hammer it incessantly.

One thing I want to underscore with this account is the fact that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights/equality/liberation has never been just about one thing, like marriage equality, but rather every aspect of public life, from employment law to immigration to prison reform to disability rights.

If you use AI to pump out a book, that is not writing. You wrote nothing. You stole from other authors and used a tool made by maniacs. People will know. You've taken away rather than given something. Also...

TPS allowed thousands of Venezuelan families who fled to the U.S. to live and work here legally. They are trying to do things the right way. Trump isn’t cracking down on "illegal" immigration—he’s taking away people's legal status and growing the number of undocumented people.
