Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.
We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

This should be national news, because while we watch in horror at what is happening south of the border, the incursion of our civil liberties is happening right here, right now, under our noses. Mission creep. The right to peacefully protest is a fundamental part of our democracy. 9/n

THE WOMEN OF ONTARIO SAY NO
Right now in Ontario, there is no process for removing councillors from office, even when egregious acts are committed and substantiated. That needs to change and we need your help.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

Since cis het men who are natural born US citizens commit the most crimes, I think they should have markers on their IDs, restricted state to state travel, higher insurance and tax rates, separate restrooms, and state sanctioned vasectomies at 14 because they cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies.

I'm not sure if its ignorance about civics or a blatantly Trumpian attempt to undermine the democratic system of checks and balances and erode judicial independence to consolidate power - but Ford's comments about judges is horrifying. If you aren't scared: you aren't paying attention.

The COVID vaccines have been taken by billions of people, saved millions of lives, and are some of the most rigorously tested medical products in history.
Someone who has zero experience in vaccine development should not be influencing the approval process. This will kill people.

I’d say that Kennedy Jr.—whose deranged conspiracy theories are now likely to cost America a new COVID-19 booster this fall—won’t be happy until his narcissism costs tens of thousands their lives, but the truth is he won’t be happy then, either.

I'm not religious but I recognize that Pope Francis was progressive. He had good intentions. I'm a feminist and I see Catholicism is patriarchal. But I also saw how he was different. I hope the next Pope is as progressive but I'm not holding my breath.
