My flight tonight was delayed because the catering cart didn't have enough trays for the meals for the first class passengers.

It felt like an apt illustration of the lengths to which this country will go to appease people with wealth.

First, Kern County. Then Los Angeles. Now Sacramento. Border Patrol is terrorizing communities across California.

No one should fear going to work to provide for their family.

We must develop a humane immigration system that treats people with dignity and respect.

This cruelty must end.
‘There is no sanctuary anywhere:’ Border Patrol raids come to California’s capital
The Border Patrol began conducting operations in Sacramento on Thursday, less than a week after a judge halted its wide-ranging LA raids.

We are a proud member of the National Coalition for Public Education. The big budget bill would divert billions of tax dollars for public education into private hands. Equal access to quality education for all is a cornerstone of a democratic society. Tax dollar grabs are not. @lwvus.bsky.social

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist?

RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate

Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.

Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA.
