The arrest of the SEIU CA President & protesters is a disgrace to our country — and part of a terrifying trend local electeds have also been facing.
We stand for First Amendment rights. We stand for democracy. We stand with David Huerta & call for his immediate release.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’.
Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

Your reminder that GENOCIDE STUDIES is a FIELD that actually originates in the holocaust, and its study is legitimate. EVEN and especially if it's listed as a field for someone whose work also falls under "Palestine Studies."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
