Los Angeles, city of protest: why it’s no surprise LA rose up against Trump For decades, LA has been at the center of the civil rights and immigrants’ rights movements – and Trump’s raids appear to be mobilizing a new generation

"Angelenos have been organizing against government attempts to criminalize undocumented workers since the 1990s, and against US government racism towards Mexican Americans for at least a century."

I love you LA. You will always be my home and I stand with you as you stand for the dignity of all human beings on god’s green earth. We wont go quietly.

It means he’s a Republican.

He Became the Face of Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement. Now He’s Fed Up With It. A 54-year-old mechanic called Pathways to Coverage a “great program” at the governor’s press conference. But after getting kicked off the health insurance program for low-income Georgians twice,…

Nine months after Luke Seaborn starred in a video testimonial for Georgia Pathways to Coverage, the state’s Medicaid experiment, his opinion of the program has plummeted:

“I used to think of Pathways as a blessing,” he says. Now he’s not so sure.

There is no way for Mexico or Canada to avoid tariffs. The only policy reason for the tariffs is to pay for trump’s tax cuts to the rich. He doesn’t care if Americans ultimately have to pay for them.

Ethnic cleansing. So on brand.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.
