Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

At every turn, Trump 2.0 has prioritized petty, poorly-planned emotional outbursts over any sort of consistent coherent authoritarian consolidation.
Even the ICE/CBP rampages reflect that. Horrible and awful, but overreaches that have red suburbs blowing whistles.
No mature ppl to restrain Miller.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

A cracked windshield, a waiting officer, a forgotten document: The new family separations often start in the most mundane ways.
ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.
Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

There are so many better ways to do solar. Covering parking lots, buildings, etc should happen before we destroy oak trees 😢🥺
Another destructive solar project approved in n CA -- “There's nothing environmentally friendly about cutting down 4,000 oak trees, the most ecologically valuable native tree in all of North America. Over 2,000 other species depend on them." 🌎 www.capradio.org/articles/202...
SMUD’s controversial Coyote Creek solar project moves forward
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the project at a packed Tuesday meeting, where over 150 people showed up to voice concerns or support.

Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.
Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.
America deserves better.

Homeland Security is calling U.S. cities “sanctuary sewers.” The Trump regime wants Americans to hate other Americans. It’s deeply unpatriotic and must be stopped.

Seems like a bad design if a line of cars can use the bike lane as a turn lane. A bump out where the parking lane is and concrete protection on the bike lane would fix this.

Here’s an idea for a new Amendment to the Constitution:
All treaties with Native Americans are binding and in perpetuity. No backsies. No more stealing their land to drill, mine or chop down. And the same goes for our national park lands.
