You can’t make this up. The government held a few meetings on the fight against Antifa: a person or group actively opposing fascism (source: Webster dictionary)

How is it that they don’t want to be called fascist but they adamantly fight against anti-fascists…

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people β€” not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

Colorado’s full prisons trigger measures designed to speed releases for first time Colorado’s prisons are so full that the Department of Corrections for the first time has triggered a legislatively mandated process designed to speed up the release of eligible prisoners and reduce…

IF ONLY local organizations would advocate more for rehabilitative, early release policies and options that could benefit a dysfunctional and bloated system that has stemmed from strong support of mass incarceration policies over the last decade that creates a burden on our communities…if only.

Trump claimed he would get grocery prices down on day one of his administration. This is a price check of month six. All prices are from FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) a tool used by the federal government. So far Trump hasn't made much progress.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill allocates $170.7 billion to target immigrants

With nearly $30 billion for ICE and $45 billion more to build concentration camps

Meanwhile Republicans are dismantling Medicaid and SNAP-to give billionaires a tax break

Maybe THAT’S why the crowd chanted to vote out Mike Flood

We need to call out the threat of authoritarianism in America.

This isn’t about left or right.
It’s about liberty vs. control.
Militarized streets aren’t freedom.
Silence isn’t peace. Together we are one.

Our neighbors are protected if we stand for their rights. So are ours. #HappyIndependenceDay

Funny how Republicans decry vote counting after electionsβ€”but have no problem sitting on a β€œno” vote for hours after a resolution deadline because their β€œmoral compass” is having a nervous breakdown.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.

It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.

Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

This is an album from my youth. I've never stopped listening to it, and after years reporting from authoritarian countries, from China to Russia to Cuba, I've only come to appreciate it more as an adult. I am from Los Angeles, and today is a good day to listen to it.
