They should be called the Department of Homeland Cruelty and Chaos. Masked men roam our streets kidnapping people and FEMA, meant to be the helping hand in emergencies is being stripped and undermined.

I am proud to fight side by side with @BeckyPringle & @NEA for the schools all our children deserve and the educators, programs, funding and civil rights protections that help children learn. We will not be silenced because people with power don’t like what we say!…

NPR/PBS are not government funded (like the BBC) they were federally supported (as many things worth having were). Listen, this has happened. But this is not only about PBS/NPR. It’s about a press that is independent and adversarial. That’s what a free press is. We degrade it at…
#BreonnaTaylor should be alive & we can’t look away. Her life, Black lives, are worth more than a day. Trump Exec Order explicitly stated police should be “unleashed.” Police must be accountable. This isn’t accountability! nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/…
Emil Bove is unfit for the federal bench and this very vote is a disgrace to an independent federal court system.
New: Grassley says the Senate Judiciary Cmte will hold a vote tomorrow on Emil Bove’s appeals court nomination. He rejected Dem calls for a 2nd hearing. Grassley also dismissed testimony from a whistleblower who said Bove told DOJ officials to defy court orders

There can be no true public safety for any of us without public trust. But it’s hard to trust the law when the law won’t show its face. That's the topic of my latest op-ed, now live on @SubstackInc. Read the full piece and subscribe today: affordingyourlife.substack.com.
ICYMI. This regime doesn’t want us to believe our “lying” eyes. A fed’l court found a “mountain” of evidence that ICE picking people and communities BECAUSE they are Latino. They don’t let people see judges to make sure they aren’t allowed to be here.
This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.
Look who I found @NAACP @ljoywilliams #FindAPresident #NAACPConvention

Labor is not backing down. None of us should.
AFL–CIO President: This bus tour is our It’s Better in a Union bus tour—because we know that when people are in a union, they do better. We’re taking this bus across the country to highlight what’s happening with these cuts we just saw in the worst job-killing bill in our…
ICE is now going to become the largest fed’l agency in the history of the country because, while this regime slashes programs the help people see a doctor, feed families, learn skills to get jobs. We fought for equal opportunity & our ancestors gave us an assignment!
"Resilience comes from remembering. It’s not just remembering the past—it is remembering what inspires us…It is remembering why we do what we do…why we have to struggle in the face of cruelty, of corruption, of chaos.” -@mayawiley of @civilrightsorg lafocusnews.com/from-backstory…
