I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

ICE didn't exist before 9/11 and has been violating human rights on a daily basis under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Undocumented immigrants pay taxes into the same system we do, which should be funding healthcare, not war. Love to my city of LA. Peace to everyone except fascists✌️
