It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

I will be in California City tomorrow from 4:30 until the city council meeting at 5:30. Standing on the corner advocating the closing of the Core Civic detention center. It is illegal and unsafe, so it should be closed.

Joy and Roscoe are excited to hear Jimmy Kimmel is coming back! #kimmel #dogs #dogsofbluesky

I'm attending Oliver Ma for Lieutenant Governor's event, “Join Rosa Lopez, Reyna Olaguez and Lori Pesante in Supporting Olive www.mobilize.us/olivermaforl...

Dear Jesus...please save us from your followers...

We need to start a writing campaign to get the CA. Atty. Gen. to investigate Core Civic in California City. It is operating illegally, without a business license or a permit, also it has failed every inspection so far. It has lead and arsenic in the water that the detainees drink.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

I AM ANTIFA !

Boycott ABC.

My concern with the Democrats leading the opposition to Trump and MAGA. The idea that lets keep things civil and operate in the norms. Ghandi said the job of a civil resistance is to provoke a response. I know of at least 5 rallies/protest in my area, but they don't want to post on social media?!

they let their racism overrule their reason. They want a white straight male ruled nation. And they are willing to listen to the liars who promise that, even though they are being robbed blind.

I had enormous respect for Jimmy Carter. He was what he preached and real Christian. Charlie Kirk was a cheap grifter and opportunists...interesting that his "grieving wife" is screaming even more hate and is keen to follow in his footsteps.

Humans migrate! Due to climate, politics, wars and disasters. People do it survive. America has grown with a robust economy due to immigrants. Stop Oligarchs from exploiting immigrants. Nothing new about migration, people do what they need to survive. They're not criminals for doing it.

The REAL HERO the right won't talk about

It's hard to see where you are from the center of the dust devil. That's why I try to read through international news that see us from the outside...and often have a much clearer view.

Shout out to Donna and Lori who joined my husband and I on the corner to denounce ICE/CoreCivic and get the word out about Calif. Prop 50! You guys are the best!

I keep hearing political violence is never acceptable. These people were pardoned and are now called patriots and heroes by the right and the sitting president. Seems like they think it’s acceptable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeum...

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. When the GOP let the ban expire in 2004 they increased by 243% - don’t try to say bans don’t work, the data doesn’t lie.

EVIL

Core-Civic has made a mistake, I think. They are operating the California City Detention Center without a permit or license. That makes what they are doing illegal. Call the Attorney General of California and report them! Get them to close down the detention center.
