A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.
And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.
This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

As much as Trump wants to appear all-powerful, he is an unpopular lame-duck president who just signed into law the worst piece of legislation in modern American history.
But we don’t just have to sit back and take it. Instead, we choose to organize.

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households.
Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger.
And under Trump, 36x larger.
The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
