Trump's ICE agents are wantonly breaking the law across the country, while he sends the national guard to forcibly occupy blue states. It's up to the good citizens of this country to oppose this uncon...
For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again.

For furloughed workers, Trump's partisan shutdown jabs are just the latest slight
“Not only is it insulting to the standards we’re all supposed to abide by, but it’s also insulting to our intelligence.”

Here’s How Trump Loses the Shutdown
God help us but Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat who understands power.
"In a normal political moment, Dems would be right to focus on policies that make people’s lives better. But this isn’t an ordinary moment. For the love of God, it was days ago that Trump put every officer in the armed forces in a room & told them he plans to use soldiers against American citizens."

It’s been a whirlwind few days since Portlanders found out about President Trump’s plan to send the National Guard into the city, with a lot of unknowns about what’s happening and when. Much of the in...
“In my moments of doubt, I worry that Portland will go it alone, as we have in the past. When I look around the room today, I know we are more together than we have ever been. By joining together, we can accomplish far more and protect our communities far better than we ever could alone.”
