Mi antepasado, Nemesio Viaña, defendió al Perú en la Guerra del Pacífico, con el ejército guerrillero General Cáceres. Cuando las élites firmaron la paz entregando territorio nacional, siguió en combate y murió rebelde.

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. Another lawmaker and his wife were shot. We are at a crossroads in our country. This was targeted political violence and how we respond as Americans must be absolutely clear that this type of extremism and violence will not be tolerated in America.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

The Constitution is clear — EVERYONE gets due process, not just citizens.
And when an authoritarian like Trump erodes the due process rights of one group, it hurts all of us.
We must stand up and fight for all of our rights.

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.
He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.
Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
