Don't just read the headline. Take a moment to watch the video. It's short.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

JB Pritzker: "Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.
Your remarks ... have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties." 🤣

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

I outlined how this would work back in November in a @washingtonpost.com opinion piece linked below. 👇
The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Democrats in Washington have been reactive - not proactive - in creating a strategy to counter the Trump agenda. We can’t continue to be caught flat-footed.

What should Democrats do now? Form a Shadow Cabinet.
Here’s an idea for how to organize our opposition: We need to borrow from the British and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the Trump.

As we wrote in "Reliable Sources" this morning, the mis/disinformation is like a digital layer of soot, dirtying up the online and on-air discourse, and leaving everyone confused about what's true and what's false. cnn.it/3BXZSx9
The sheer amount of social media nonsense about the fires is head-spinning. "While it takes time and effort to extinguish flames and dispatch reliable information in favor of the public interest, opportunistic liars need no such time to push their agendas." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
As Los Angeles burns, we're seeing a conflagration of lies and disinformation
Bad-faith actors, including Donald Trump, are blaming the outcome on "diversity" in the fire department and a nonexistent “water declaration resolution."
