Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

We did watch the end, and then I walked out into our street. Took a minute, but then the cheers and fireworks started erupting all around me.

Morning news in Los Angeles used to be traffic and, on an exciting day, a car chase.
News this morning: here’s aerial coverage of today’s ICE raid and the spontaneous community protest in response.

β€œWhen families break down, family sharing systems can allow [an] … abusive … parent to cling to digital control of their children.”
My family has lived through this and it has been a nightmare. Control of the phone was the preferred tool to stalk us and to damage our family relationships.

And who doesn’t know why we give kids Tylenol. We’re going to lose kids to Reye Syndrome again.

β€œ[W]hat’s been more surprising has been the broader sense of hostility toward any government program that offers aid and empathy to those born with real challenges. Few predicted that Trump would seek to decimate the special education office … or work … to undermine the rights of the disabled.”

This. I know the starving children, the murdered fishermen, the people suffering and dying in ICE detention, I know there is so much worse than one building lost. And yet, I feel this one.

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. β€” It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

Older white woman, standing, with a sign that reads β€œIndivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Older white man, seated next to a sign reading β€œWe love America. That’s why we’re here!”

My parents (81/79) have been active politically and in service their whole lives, but have never protested. Today they didn’t just join us. They *organized* this location.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

β€œI spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Speaking Spanish isn’t β€œun-American.”

It’s as American as the Super Bowl itself.

If you’re mad about hearing it, maybe ask yourself why.

Children are going to die from Reye Syndrome again. Someone’s going to read this, toss her Children’s Tylenol, and then later reach for the aspirin that’s left.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)
