I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Remember. This all started because #ICE was camping out at the #LosAngeles #DHS facility, then kidnapping parents and children—arriving for their families’ scheduled immigration appointments.

Regular Angelenos tried to physically stop agents from kidnapping kids; then the gov’t teargassed everyone.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all.

Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Flashback to 2020:

CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians."

Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."

"I wish science agreed with you."

Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

Oh come on, no they aren’t. We aren’t falling for that again.

and not much out there.
Men. We need to step it up dudes!
seriously.
Women had long FOUGHT besides us thru it all.
We need to up our game and do our part.
