In a post-911 world, Bill Moyers pieced together the tattered pieces of the flag in my heart. He carved out a place for people that understand dissent is patriotic. Fearlessly speaking truth to power in the kindest way. May his spirit of fighting for this democracy carry on.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

David Huerta, the local president of SEIU United Service Workers West, was injured and arrested by federal agents in the midst of a fascist and chaotic ICE Gestapo raid on Friday in Los Angeles.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

Is that really what you came here to do?"
