“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Helicopters.

Armed troops wearing masks.

All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests.

DHS and ICE are out of control.

They shoved, pinned, and handcuffed @SenAlexPadilla—for asking a question to protect his community. A sitting U.S. Senator.

This isn’t public safety—it’s raw abuse of power and unacceptable.
Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

Yesterday ~68 people employed in HHS's Administration for Children & Families early childhood offices were terminated. I'm told Office of Head Start lost ~20% of staff; Office of Child Care lost ~25%
These workers process grants for preschools/childcare centers, monitor health/safety issues, etc.

It's been more than 60 years since The Fire Next Time was first published. Is it still relevant today? Explain.

If you're in DC, take the subway there
