Bobby Nunez was arrested and prosecuted for "brazenly towing an ICE vehicle" according to the U.S. Attorney. He towed the vehicle during the arrest of a TikTok influencer in downtown Los Angeles on August 15th.
After a 4-day trial, he was acquitted! His lawyers were two Deputy Public Defenders. ✊🏼

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

This brings us to a harsh reality: Most of the administration’s attempts to destroy gender-affirming care have technically failed. Judges have ruled against them and ordered them to be halted. But in practice, they have had their intended effect.

6 years ago, a federal ban on gender-affirming care for young people was absent from the national Dem agenda, seemed unlikely to almost everyone who isn’t trans. 6 years ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene was a QAnon crank with a crossfit gym. Yesterday her ban passed out of the House with three Dem votes.
