ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.

In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

The people want a new, more modern political system which is designed to represent who we are and what we want.

A political system with more parties.
A political system without kings or oligarchs.
A political system that's controlled by normal people, not the billionaire few.

So democrats that will not be running for their seats voted to open the government. What do they stand to lose? Nothing as they will be leaving their seats. So screw the American people and their healthcare accessibility. We must do better at picking who represents us in Congress.

Sen. Tina Smith: “Donald Trump clearly has the authority to keep SNAP funding during this shutdown. He is just refusing to do it…Americans should not be forced by this President to choose between health care and food.”

To ban books on Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a sin for the world of literature. A sin for new generations that are coming up. 100 years of solitude was, is, and will always be one of the books that everyone should read. Garcia Marquez was and is one of the most important writers of all time.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

We have to ask ourselves how are we going to correct all this mess. We need to move on from the two political systems this country has. No one from either side is stepping up to the plate. All they are doing is seeing our country decline and not caring.

Trump's USDA says it can’t disburse SNAP benefits on November 1 because of the shutdown.

SNAP is an entitlement program. They could *easily* find the $8 billion.

Meanwhile, they’re sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina, screwing American farmers in the process.

It’s bullshit—and they know it.

In 1967, we represented legendary drag queen Sir Lady Java when the LAPD threatened to arrest the owner of the club where she danced. This case was just one small part of her lifelong advocacy of queer expression.

We carry her legacy with us today as we defend our communities in joy and style.

The "No Kings" protest was huge and amazing. The world so that no matter the political party, no one in America wants a dictator. What we need now is the next step. What actions are those that we send to Washington going to do?! We need them to step up and do the job we need them to do!

Right now, Mohammed Ibrahim, a US citizen, is being held in an Israeli prison.

His health is deteriorating. The circumstances are desperate.

The United States must use every avenue available to secure the release of this Palestinian American child.

I watched the CNN town hall of Bernie Sanders and AOC last night. I hope that those who watched it took a lot of information on what Trump and the Republicans are doing during the shutdown. This town hall was for both sides to take in information on what is being done and what we stand to lose.
