A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen.
• Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms
• Told them he was a citizen
• No charges. No phone call. No lawyer.
• No care after chemical exposure

We asked folks, N=1166 national likely voters June 27-July 1, why they think folks marched for No Kings, offering a whole bunch of options.
The top selection - nearly double next highest - "to oppose Trump's recent actions on immigration."
Let's challenge our thinking on what gets people out.

Surviving, let alone combatting, anti-semitism requires recognizing that the white nationalists building concentration camps, running this regime are not valid judges of who is dangerous to Jews.

The American public is still sleepwalking through this; never seen anything like this. So we will continue to be shocked, gaslighted, and dominated in our torpor… time to move? Not yet, my tomato plants are flowering.
This is bullshit.
Not only do ICE bounty hunters refuse to identify themselves, they won’t say where they’re taking the people they’re kidnapping.
Deliberately shuffling detainees from facility to facility so families can’t find them & they miss their chance at legal counsel.

Great leader, and someone who actually follows Jesus…
SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.
FROST: "They say they're pro-life because they want the baby to be born, go to school and get shot in the school. Die in the school, die on the streets."
FOXX: "You are not going to come into this room and impugn our integrity!"

Let’s call job requirements for anything what it really is: penalizing and punishing people for an economy that doesn’t provide jobs.
Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more.
Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.
Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

This is devastating, but we must see it as an opportunity that we cannot sidestep - perfect opportunity to deeply organize, knocking our neighbors’ doors, convening town halls, holding house parties. It’s not “why won’t the Dems do something?” It’s “ME - I need to follow a PLAN.”
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

AOC is a prime example of what a public servant should be - she actually cares enough to do her research, then presents the facts needed to promote benefit to the American public. It’s pretty simple really - but requires brilliance, utter dedication, and honesty. Bravo dear leader 👏🏽
💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼♂️
@aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.
How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?
It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.
