Newsom: And right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ice agents. You think it is coincidental? Donald Trump and his minions, Tom Homan, tough guy, decided, coincidentally or not, that this was the location to advance ice arrests.

On November 4th in California, you will have the power to stand up to Donald Trump. You will have the power to stand up for people.

We're going to give the people of this state the power to stand up for democracy.

Trump and his allies want to defund NPR and PBS not because they’re irrelevant—but because they still tell the truth Public broadcasting isn’t corporate propaganda. It educates, investigates and elevates voices that authoritarians fear most the people’s. Full Article www.facebook.com/share/p/16oV...

Stephen Colbert didn’t retire. CBS pulled the plug. Not for ratings, but because truth became too expensive. In a sanitized media landscape, satire is being dismantled piece by piece. Colbert was just the next to fall.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Wondering when Derrick Van Orden will hold a town hall for his constituents in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District?

Wait no longer: there’s a town hall tomorrow, April 22, 5pm in La Crosse.

(Only catch: the host is actually Rep. Mark Pocan.)

Trump is lowering America’s guard, and making us less safe than we’ve been in many generations.

The question that remains is why is Trump making us so weak and vulnerable if his goal is to make us strong?
Alarming state of affairs. In past 3 months, Trump has:

1. Closed FBI Foreign Influence Task Force
2. Closed State Dept Global Misinformation office
3. Ordered CISA to no longer address misinfo
4. Redirected Cyber Command away from Russian disinfo
5. Fired NSA Director
6. Sacked 6 NSC officials
Under Trump, National Security Guardrails Vanish
America’s adversaries have more room to operate, at least in the disinformation space, cybersecurity experts say.

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings.

These are not deportations—they are human trafficking.

These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps.

Language matters.

So Trump, you want to deport “homegrown” criminals? Only one of you has 34 felony convictions, was found liable for sexual assault, impeached 2x, and is actively tearing this country apart.
Look in the mirror,it’s you.
