ICE STAGING
Gate E at Dodger Stadium is a massive staging ground right now for ICE:
100+ agents & dozens of ice cars/ vans.
They may be bringing everyone back there after conducting raids.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

I've been watching lots of video footage of the LA protests. I see a ratio of 50+ cops to 1 protester, protesters waving flags, and police aggressively pushing and shooting flash bangs at the crowd. The only "violent mob" is the one wearing masks and military gear and working for the Trump regime.

Trump’s first term polarized teens’ views on racism and inequality A social scientist tracking adolescents’ beliefs and behaviors over time was uniquely positioned to document changes in teens’ worldviews after Trump’s 2016 election.

Teens who supported Trump during his first term became less aware of systemic
#racism over time, while those who opposed him grew more conscious of racial inequalities. An adolescent development scholar explains: buff.ly/90Mue1j @wraylake.bsky.social, UCLA #polisky

Check out my article in the Conversation, about how Trump's first presidency divided teens' views on racism and inequality and heightened discrimination.

Schumer - Listen to your colleagues and to the people! This is one of the only moments the Democrats have leverage and you are throwing it away. If you don't take a stand now, then when?

It was disgusting and embarrassing to watch Trump and Vance yell at Zelenskyy, speak over him, say he's not grateful enough, and try to bully him. And I'm sure Trump handpicked the journalist who asked about what Zelenskyy was wearing. Just shameful.

Yes, it HAS been a crazy week. I'm disappointed that this is what you choose to message us with. Please get on task & focus on urgent issues. Just to name a few: 1) Trump+Musk power grab of epic proportions & its unconstitutionality, 2) immigrant rights, 3) transgender rights

Senator Padilla, where are you?? We want to hear exactly what you are doing to stop Musk's unconstitutional power grab and fight for our rights during this constitutional crisis. We need you to speak up, stop business as usual, and take action now!

We agree on this, but we need you to take tangible action to stop this, now. I just tried to call your office and your voicemail is full. I'm sure we're all trying to contact you and demand swift responses to stop this government takeover!

With all of the threats to human welfare and authoritarian power plays Trump has rained down on us since taking office, I think it is time for us to stand up together and say NO TO ALL OF THIS.
