Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

I would have loved to be in the room when #POTUS learned that a woman who leads the resistance in Venezuela won the #NoblePeacePrize

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

California is going to be the only state with clean air and climate control!

I just signed legislation further enabling the development of carbon management projects in California.

This action will create good-paying jobs, put our state on the leading edge of another emerging innovative industry, and aims to help further reduce climate pollution.

NEW: A senior ICE official testified today the WH Homeland Security Council — and not the State Department — informed him Uganda was the deportation target for Abrego Garcia.

DOJ then asserted presidential privilege over any other details about the call. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Americans are fed up with the political establishment and an economy rigged against the working class.

Zohran Mamdani understands this well. Democratic leadership should be supporting him.

🚨Veteran wrongly detained by ICE, placed on suicide watch in a cell with no clothes. Only a hospital gown and a thin mattress on a concrete floor from Friday to Sunday. Lights on 24 hours/day. WTF, America? 1/2

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Trump is using our tax dollars to buy Argentine pesos to bail out the country's failing libertarian economy.

My friend Rohit Chopra explains how this will hurt struggling Americans here at home.

For the record, mockery is a perfectly effective form of resistance against ICE.

They want us to be violent so they can put pictures on Facebook and justify a forceful response with their base. They can't do that with an inflatable unicorn costume.

A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

The Qatari Airbase deal is going to be a harsh lesson to Donald on the downside of stoking the fires of xenophobia and hatred of Muslims with MAGA bigots.
