Know Your Rights Information🚨 ICE has been arresting people at immigration court and routine check-ins across the country. If you or a loved one is in this situation, know you still have rights.

"Back then we had dumb presidents." Been a while since I actually did a spit take to something this administration has said. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

There’s always a tweet.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Agreed. This Dodgers fanatic has been pained by the current organization silence and complicity with this administration. From the White House visit to the lack of a simple comment on the ICE/gestapo raids. 😢🥺

🥺😢🥺😢

Jon Stewart asks: How many gun deaths is too many for the GOP?

MALDEF opposes changes to the method of data collection of race & ethnicity of families receiving food assistance. This rule would lead to inaccurate data and inaccessibility of services for Latino communities. Read our comment here: www.maldef.org/knet

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Wow. Just....wow. 🥺

Don't let it get lost in your (justifiable) outrage the reprehensible treatment of Senator @padilla.senate.gov; He was attempting to speak out against DHS's statement saying they're in LA to "liberate this city from...leadership" They're talking about duly elected officials! This is a coup attempt!

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU. Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Trump's regime has now committed at least 16 of King George III's 27 offenses specified in the Declaration of Independence. Armed occupation of a city/state over its government's supposed ideology: "He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us."

Speechless. That's a US Senator and a good man.

This is... I'd say unbelievable, but this is the dictatorship these people want. This is fascism.

I told you we’d be back

Well this is awkward

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Planning to attend an upcoming protest? Here are things to keep in mind, especially if you are an immigrant or going with someone who is. Your voice matters —and so does your safety. Let’s look out for one another. #KnowYourRights #NoKingsDay

BREAKING: FBI now offering $50K for info on a man accused of assaulting a federal officer in LA. Before you start playing vigilante detective, let me remind you most tipsters never get a cent. Snitching doesn’t pay like they say it does. Literally. youtube.com/shorts/ss7iT...

Holy cats, Denzel Clarke.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

This anecdote (H/T @latimes.com) about a couple of tourists from says so much about the false narratives that Americans are absorbing about what’s happening Los Angeles.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.
