There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

I can't tell you how invigorating and inspiring and hopeful it is to be in a crowd of people who also care. Took a group of teens to the last big protest and they were most struck by no longer feeling alone. If you're able to go, I encourage you to try. Get a group of friends & go together.

Really something to see people act like Israel attacking Iran unprovoked is somehow justified because Iran might have a nuke someday. They’re hitting civilian airports. These are normal human beings with families and friends like yours.

If Zohran wins, it will be ENDLESS NYT articles about how he needs to include "moderates" and Republicans, if Cuomo wins the NYT will be FUCK THOSE RADICAL Leftists. The editorials write themselves. No need for any rapprochement.

Since mispronouncing mayoral candidates' names is in the news, I want to make sure I get it right: This hedge-fund guy who's running for mayor, is his name Whitey Tilson?

Bibi Netanyahu, in 2002, urging the US to invade Iraq: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region." The US listened then, and we saw what happened. 23 years later, here we are.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

It’s amazing. The article recounts Noem’s take on things—that Padilla didn’t ID himself—without noting that there is clear VIDEO SHOWING HIM DOING SO. It feels like a literal “don’t believe what your eyes saw” moment. A total failure in coverage.

Stephen Colbert just riffed on this incident, saying “Strong man go boom,” and then referred to Trump as Benito Boopsolini, Adolf Trippler, and Joseph Fallen.

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Data from the last six years, including 1.5 years of Trump's first term, reveals how this is completely unprecedented. It also helps explain the growing backlash.

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard? One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended. Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

Exactly this. I am sitting in the peaceful garden of my mom’s memory care center in LA —where many of the hardworking and excellent staff were born born in other countries. Trump is describing a city that exists in his head, not reality.

Street action to block ICE from illegally and violently invading residences and businesses is as peaceful as it gets. If the formal political system, including courts, cannot stop this violence, the final check on abusive power is mass action.

While Jessica Ramos went running to Cuomo the moment she got snubbed by AOC's endorsement, this is how Brad spent his day. Some people are able to put their ideals ahead of personal grievance. That's the difference between real movement people and grifters.
