Community volunteers set out to track potential
ICE activity and alert residents to possible raids in Los Angeles.
The patrols reflect growing tensions between immigration enforcement and neighbourhoods determined to protect their own.

I find it absolutely hilarious that gay conservatives use the SCOTUS decision to not reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges as proof that progressive gays are fear-mongers while prominent conservatives openly admit that they are committed to ending same sex marriage in the United States.

@schumer.senate.gov and his 8 corporate whores will be responsible for 50,000 deaths for lack of healthcare. They murder by proxy.
It’s not hyperbole to say that people will die as a result of this alliance.

Allowing these financial supports to lapse will further drive millions of people into dire circumstances, forced to choose between surgeries or groceries...

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Congressional Democrats are livid after a handful of their Senate colleagues voted Sunday to end the government shutdown. Chris Murphy called it a mistake. Bernie Sanders called it “a very bad night.” And Ro Khanna and Seth Moulton accused Chuck Schumer of being ineffective & called for his removal.

Since the olympics are being held in LA, this policy would violate state civil rights law and I hope trans and intersex athletes challenge such a policy.

I'm in Detroit. It's 25 degrees & dropping. I met a woman who has slept outside for 5 months. Yesterday, all of her belongings, incl her blankets, were thrown away. She has nowhere else to go.

It doesn't have to be like this. Housing + support solves homelessness. We need political will.

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.
