Let's buy a holiday gift for EVERY child in Denver's public housing. Even $5 helps. You've raised $40,000 so far. No child should go without a gift this holiday season. Thank you for your generosity!

Bonta: The Ninth Circuit refused to stay the order. And so, for the first time in six months, we have no National Guard deployed on the streets of California.
Popok: Have they been taken off the streets?
Bonta: They have. It was required as of, I believe, Monday.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law.
It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is himself a law breaker. In such a state, do laws even have any legitimacy?

Unnecessary, possibly unethical $1.6M being awarded to controversial Danish group by CDC to study Hepatitis B vaccine that has already been studied for decades and been proven effective. This is over the objections of numerous virologists, scientists and the WHO.

Proud Boy leader, J6 organizer, and recipient of Trump pardon Enrique Tarrio has been a bit more active on social media lately. Today he is promoting a woman who organized a Mein Kampf reading group and proudly identifies as a "white power" advocate of the US being a White Christian "ethnostate."

‘I Hereby Give Myself $1 Billion.’
President Donald Trump bragged about his demand that the U.S. government give him a huge payout, and said he would be the ultimate arbiter of whether he will receive the money.

For all the discourse about political violence this year…. this deserves to be understood as political violence too.
A deliberate choice by particular people to ruin someone’s life, detain them against their will, rip them from their families - it’s violence

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.

Some of the same conservatives who constructed an entire worldview around a fear that someday the federal government would create a panopticon to persecute them ended up building one to use against their enemies the minute they got the chance.

I’ve been filming in the halls of 26th Federal Plaza, where they are entertaining people the courts from their immigration hearings. They are being denied due process, which is in the constitution if you are documented or undocumented. The White House constitution online it’s deleted
