What’s unfolding in L.A. is dangerous—and exactly what federal forces want: a pretext to escalate. Fireworks from protesters were met with rubber bullets. LAPD declared an unlawful assembly. This is not how we win. Please go home & stay safe tonight. Our power is in peaceful, strategic resistance.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all. Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

Since yesterday, immigration and other law enforcement have inflicted terror and chaos on residents of LA. The leader of California's largest union was among those arrested for protesting ICE's cruelty. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop him from terrorizing our communities.

The number of people in ICE detention has grown, and detention facilities are over capacity. As a result, the government is intensifying its hunt for more space — and local police are playing a bigger role.

“Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

Since taking office in January, Trump has shown nothing but contempt for the Constitution — violating our rights and ignoring court orders. Republicans don’t care, so I’m starting a series of shadow hearings to conduct oversight and expose these abuses.

On Memorial Day we honor the service members who gave their lives for our nation, and the loved ones who bear the burden of their loss. That is a sacrifice that cannot be repaid. As we work toward peace, let us never forget those who have served on our behalf.
