ICE Raids on Beloved Bakery Reverberate Through Rio Grande Valley Homeland Security Investigations arrests at Abby's Bakery shake up a small town in politically shifting Cameron County.

Earlier: โ€œSomehow this little town, Los Fresnosโ€”itโ€™s become a part of this huge conversation that I donโ€™t think anyone really expected. Maybe this is a chance for people to really look at whatโ€™s happening.โ€

Trump isn't going to personally imprison you, just as Biden wasn't personally arresting campus protestors.

It will be carried out by the local law enforcement you love to give money to and invite to community events.

Today I'm announcing a plan to unleash the public sector and build the housing we desperately need.

As Mayor, I will triple New York City's production of permanently affordable, union-built, rent-stabilized homes, constructing 200,000 new units over the next decade.

So now that the dust has settled a bit and we have a lot more data in, how did the media do in reporting about Latino voters after the election? Here's four facts we know from the 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll. Is this what you understood? Or are you surprised to see this now?

It is illegal to fire workers for unionizing. We know it, the NLRB knows it, and the Dallas Black Dance Theatre knew it when they fired their workers for unionizing. Yesterday we stood with the dancers on the picket line! Solidarity with all workers of the world. Dallas Black Bring Them Back!

You donโ€™t fight the right by meeting them in the middle. Instead of shifting rightward in attempt to reach voters across the isle, push back against the xenophobic and white supremacist rhetoric and promote actual solutions for the struggles working class people are experiencing.

Anti-immigrant sentiment is growing among working class Americans because democrats have failed to push back against the idea that the rising cost of living is a result of immigration. Itโ€™s not. Itโ€™s caused by unchecked corporate greed, price gouging, and poverty wages.

Itโ€™s incredibly frustrating that the Democratic Party insists on capitulating to right wing framing on immigration rather than addressing the lies and misinformation spread about the so called โ€œmigrant crisisโ€.

Amazing show of solidarity today in Dallas. A conference of illegal settlements in Palestine made it to Texas. People from all across Texas showed up in full force to make sure the conference attendees knew that they werenโ€™t welcome! Shout out to Palestinian Youth Movement DFW for their organizing!
