Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

The Trump admin has been so cowardice on foreign policy that they are still using the Solemani strike years ago as an example of strength. But after that Iran hit and injured 100 Americans and Trump was too frightened to respond

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Double.

When was the last time we wondered about who puts things on shelves? Today, those invisible ones are seen only to be criminalized for fleeing poverty and oppression. Are they really stealing a glamorous life from us? Pass it on if you stand with those who work in the shadows. #OnYourSide

More good news from Pennsylvania!🥳 A federal court permanently dismissed a lawsuit from the conservative 1789 Foundation that sought to remove 277,00 Pennsylvania voters from the rolls. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Sq...

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Hey Donald it’s been two weeks…. Since you said you’d do something in two weeks to force Russia to the table. You aren’t… you’re not… chickening out right? Nah

It can happen here. It is happening here.

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

Stating the obvious… 🚨 NEW: World Bank warns of potential global trade collapse amid tariff hikes.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Hmm. Good question.

Good night #TeamPete 😴

Ohh He's crying He was all alone

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

If you think ICE agents are justified in disrupting an elementary school graduation to detain parents in front of their traumatized children, we will never see eye to eye on anything.

ICE crossed a line in LA
