CHARLAMAGNE: “It’s crazy to me that ‘socialism’ is such a dirty word, when all it is is trying close the gap between the rich and the poor and make sure everybody has access to basic necessities... That why I like when @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social uses ‘affordability’.”

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way.

Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!
