Democrats don't have the power to do this now, but every member of Congress and all the leading candidates for president should lean very hard into this message because it will crater ICE's already low morale, encourage defections and stop up their recruiting pipeline.
Some of the protest signs are similar to anything else you’d see since the start of Trump 2.
Others are directed at the concentration camp guards inside.

Ironic that it’s her own policies (watering down ED1, opposing SB-79, preserving single family zoning at all costs) that keep LA unaffordable.

SB 79 and CEQA reform were historic victories.
In 2026, we are building on them by reforming barriers to homeownership, addressing excessive fees, and "cleaning up" existing laws so that more housing can get built.

If you are (rightly) disgusted with everything Karen Bass is doing and feel like the mayoral race might be a wash, good news: @raeforla.bsky.social is running for mayor as the “Zohran of LA” so yes, you too can have Zohran at home!
Karen Bass refusing to speak out against Epstein’s friend Casey Wasserman is pure cowardice. An easy win to demand he resign but Bass doesn’t want to upset her donors, & maybe more importantly, she doesn’t want to switch her stance on the games.
Either way, cancel the Olympics!

True to form, power protects power. Casey Wasserman must resign, and Los Angeles deserves a mayor who isn't afraid to call for it.
"Ultimately, any decision on the LA28 leadership must be made by the LA28 Board. As you know, they are a separate and independent nonprofit organization."
