I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

So you mean it might not be diarrhea forever after all?

Gov. Newsom: Folks are scared to death because they might be disappeared on the basis of what they look like. The military is on American soil, not overseas. This is what Proposition 50 represents, for those that are concerned about not only themselves but our community, our state, our nation
