Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

I tell my students: Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value. So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?

“How many bodies did you guys grab today?” he said one agent asked. “Oh, we grabbed 31,“ the other replied. “That was a good day today,” the first agent responded. The two high-fived, as Garcia sat on the asphalt under the sun, he said. Mr. Garcia is a doctoral student at Claremont & US citizen

Who is Peter Thiel? Apparently he is very private and doesn’t like attention. We can change that can’t we? I mean, the dude wants to take over the world with his “network states” society. I’m not going to shut up about him and it’s time to expose his charade.

As we mentioned when we attended the hearing, government witnesses almost all had something to gain… and their story that Kilmar took his family (3 kids, 2 with autism) on almost all his alleged cross-country smuggling trips — “3-4x weekly” — is preposterous The judge agreed👇🏽

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

Trump overhypes from the start because he knows one side will run with it. While cooler heads gather facts, his version becomes the narrative. Last night: “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely & totally obliterated.” Today: Iran’s enriched uranium is likely still intact. 🧵

They didn’t bomb Iran last night because of intel. They did it on a hunch…like a drunk betting the mortgage on a long shot at 3 a.m. Problem is, this one might pay off in body bags, not winnings. Never trust Trump’s vibes. Several bankruptcies have shown they’re usually wrong.

“Donald Trump has guaranteed that Iran will be a nuclear weapons state in 5 to 10 years from now.” Iranian writer @tparsi.bsky.social tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social that US bombing of Iran would push Tehran toward developing nuclear weapons. Watch the full conversation: zeteo.com/p/breaking-t...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

If Trump sells off federal land, it’s not just a deal — it’s a death sentence for public power. You’d better believe billionaires won’t turn Yellowstone into a picnic spot. It’s extraction... eviction...and erasure disguised as “freedom.” And once it’s gone? It’s gone forever.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
