Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I'm going to do the thing where I complain about America not having public transport in every city while I'm visiting Europe. But I'll add to that: When I looked up which cities in the world have a train/metro/rail system, NOLA wasn't included in the list. NOLA has the oldest system in the world

I was in downtown #losangeles at the beginning of this week. The streets had a way different feel from what’s been on my screens. No signs of insurrection just love and peace. For more check out this full post open.substack.com/pub/baratund...

BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights. Then they gassed it. Then they dragged out the driver. All three people in that car are U.S. citizens. This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.

We need stricter penalties in AZ for politicians who violate campaign finance laws. A D running for Congress in AZ-7 shows us why. As a legislator Daniel Hernandez routinely hid his donors w late or never filed reports. But in congressional races he reports on time. Why? Fed penalties have teeth.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

TRUMP'S LUDICROUSLY SLOPPY LEGAL RATIONALE FOR OCCUPYING LA It's blatantly illegal. @atrupar.com THE ONLY PEOPLE LOS ANGELES IS UNDER ATTACK FROM IS THE ADMINISTRATION. Trump, better than anyone, knows what an #insurrection on American soil really is, and it looks like January 6.

Trump's campaign to "liberate" America from "criminals aliens" has rapidly descended into the militarization of cities to unleash masked thugs on working immigrants in Home Depot parking lots and restaurants It's gravely dangerous, but also a measure of Trump's political frailty -- not his strength

HERE IT IS… Simple reason Trump doesn’t want ‘peaceful protests,’ is because they empower the #MidtermMovement, that will surely reduce his power, get rid of him, and finally hold him accountable…👇 Simple as that. Remember. Always. Protest. Peacefully. 😎✨

This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed. THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”

Republicans wanna be able to hate whomever they choose in the name of God - and not have to face legal consequences for violating the rights of their victims. It’s fundamentally un-American, makes a mockery of the constitution and the law, and par for course with these EVIL Nazi sons of bitches.

ICE showed up with no warrant and tore her family apart. She was 14. They lost everything. Now she’s speaking out so others don’t have to face the same pain. Know your rights. Carry a red card. Share this
