Jeffries: "Trump, get back to DC. Why are you at a golf event right now & the govt is 4 days away from closing? That's outrageous. And it speaks to the fact that these extremists could care less about the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people. They're on vacation right now."

The future of tech can be good, but to get there it starts with radical and collective hope.
This kind of hope isn’t just about imagining something better, it’s about doing the work to get there, together.
Together, we can make good on the original promise of the internet ⤵️ bit.ly/4lymKUH

Berkeley declared itself a “City of Refuge” in 1971 and affirmed its determination to protect all of its residents this year. So proud of my city. ❤️
The city of Berkeley landed on a shortlist of "sanctuary jurisdictions" published Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Justice. The DOJ described the localities as "having policies, laws, or regulations that impede enforcement of federal immigration laws."
Berkeley is one of 18 sanctuary cities singled out by feds
The list also included the county of San Francisco and the state of California, along with a dozen other states.
