“ICE agents were caught on video pulling one teen from the car and punching him repeatedly in the face while he lay on the ground. The other teen, Luis Ochoa, said he informed the ICE agents he was a citizen but was told, ‘I don’t give a damn.… Your parents can’t help you now.’”

Republicans claim to care about children & families - then turn around & write discrimination into law. They gutted the Dept. of Ed, slashed funding for SNAP & Social Security, enacted brutal & traumatizing family separation & lock children away in trailer prisons with subpar food, air, &healthcare.

Incredible to be at the 20th Annual Temescal Street Fair listening to great music, eating good food, and shopping around. This year we also honored the 60th anniversary of the Black Panther Party. The 10 point program is more salient than ever -may we continue to fight for the free destiny of all.

I went to Sac yesterday to rally to restore transit and affordable housing funding, which the Governor took to give to to oil companies. This building was a BART parking lot and soon will be 70 affordable homes, made possible by state funds. We must restore funding to meet housing & climate goals.

US Secretary of Transportation hates public transportation and bike infrastructure. His claims are detached from the reality of what eases traffic congestion and makes communities easier and safer to get around. This guy has no business leading USDOT. A few things he asked Congress for (1/3)

Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.
