I can't stop laughing at the fact that Pam Bondi actually secured a judge's order to get lists of gun owners.

Kamala Harris rocked a glock. She was for 2A.

The 2A ppl voted to disarm themselves. Suckers. 😂

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women.

Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

TEXAS: Stop Waiting For Beto. Become Beto.

We all love Beto. The man shows up. He loves Texas.

But y’all, we can’t wait around for someone else to save us. We have to save ourselves.

We all need to step up. Run for office. Or volunteer to support your candidate.

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.

The family has not been able to locate the woman taken by ICE earlier.

“She’s someone who wakes up before sunrise every day to work, just to afford her insulin and medication that keep her alive,” they said.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
