New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...

We are completely and utterly unprepared for what is happening right now at ~1.5ºC of heating. Never mind what is coming, as we race headlong to crossing 2ºC. (To stand a remote chance of staying below 2ºC global emissions must fall by 5.5% in 2025 and EVERY year thereafter until 2030)

I encourage everyone to actually read the dissent. The description of what this government is doing should shock anyone with a conscience. It is unfathomably cruel, indeed sadistic. And yes, this is being enabled by the highest court in the nation.

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

This weekend, millions of Americans marched to resist Donald's rising authoritarianism and to declare "No Kings in America!" This Week in Wins has the highlights, from the nationwide protests to brutal new polls for Trump and another special election win for Democrats. Don't miss out on the latest.

Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

Pelosi recently missed being assassinated and her husband was almost killed but mainstream media are so far gone they quickly downplayed the political murder attempts. Now another Dem leader and her husband are dead and still most of what we will hear about tomorrow is the fascist’s parade.

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

Here are 3 ways the Federal Government could better use the money they are wasting terrorizing LA with armed troops. 1. Pay the Tuition of Every Freshman at UCLA 2. Give $1,000 a month UBI to 11,000 struggling families for an entire year. 3. Provide $134 million dollars in wildfire recovery aid

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

"Scardina says he voted for Trump and still supports many of the former president’s policies, but this isn’t what he signed up for. 'Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit.' The detained men represented a third of his total staff — devastating in a small labor pool like Key West."
