Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC.

The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack.

ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants

β€œDonate” is not the right word. They are getting something for it, more density. Those agenda items require close attention for the public. Another major STUDENT development downtown that involves county parking lots as part of the deal as well. Maybe it’s the best choice but maybe not.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

Thank you, Senator! I’m a local county commissioner who spoke out last night against moves by State representatives to dismantle our board of elections and I’m exhausted from my 6 hr mtg. You are my hero and inspiration.

Jasmine Mooney is a Canadian citizen being detained by ICE.

She was arrested at the San Ysidro border crossing between Mexico and San Diego β€” as she was trying to obtain a new visa.

Jasmine was kept in a cold room at the border by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before being arrested…

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of β€˜the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Opinion | The Department of Education’s D.E.I. Letter Just Threatened the Existence of Many Colleges The government offers an implausible interpretation of the law.

The letter linked to in this article scares me. It’s what the Dept of Education just sent out to all colleges, tying the White House attack on any DEI efforts to federal funding. The letter could be used as a template to send out to anyone revived federal dollars.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
