This is fucking insane. Seriously what the fuck.
THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

"Most of the USDA programs are aimed at changing irrigation practices to use less water..."

Farmers are already feeling the pinch from program cuts. Capital & Main is tracking how DOGE's actions are affecting them.

Trump golfed for 31 days of his first 100.

Now, instead of funding disaster relief, the GOP directed $300M in FEMA funding to pay for Trump's golf security while communities destroyed by natural disasters are being denied aid.

Again and again, he chooses himself over Americans.

The DOJ just pulled the rug out from under our communities by terminating community violence intervention funds with zero warning. This isn’t a policy change — it’s political punishment. We demand accountability. #ProtectCVI #FundCVI #CommunitySafety

DOGE Cuts Pull AmeriCorps Volunteers Off of Disaster Relief Jobs
The youth volunteers who were working on projects ranging from rebuilding homes destroyed in storms to distributing supplies for hurricane recovery were suddenly pulled from service. Why? DOGE cuts.

The article has a link to a GoFundMe for this family. The cruelty never ends. 💔
Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.”

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. We’d never condition it."
