A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Last year, over half of Americans lived paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, the 10 richest American billionaires saw their wealth grow by more than $360 BILLION.

Trump and Congressional Republicans' solution? Give them even more tax cuts. We need to tax the rich!

I’m a 91 year old #antifascist for at least 85 years. Remember! In my youth we fought against 3 fascist powers:Japan, Germany, & Italy and won. Now our demented President is saying I/we are the enemy for fighting his fascist coup. #antifa #nokings #constitution #freedom #resistance #nonviolent

Fires, floods, heat waves, droughts, dying corals, lost crops, wars wars wars and much more say climate change ain’t no hoax.

Yeah Trump is destroying Democracy but zoom out to see how he’s destroying Earth’s fragile home for human beings and many other beings .

King Canute ordered the waves to stop rolling in. They rolled on in.

Wannabe King Trump declares climate change is a hoax, fires anyone who says that’s not so. Hires fossil fools to run the show.

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

more & more people need to see the faces of the people who are being disappeared. Here in Ca. they go after children playing high school football and they disappeared a car washer who is unable to speak or hear even after he showed real ID. They tore it away. Imagine the trauma . vote blue.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.
