Daughter of an Immigrant

THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE but still FUCK ICE! FUCK TRUMP! ICE IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY ARE ANTI-AMERICAN THUGS AND MURDERERS Californian from Old America.

1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers. This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

Ross Douthat asks the President how his net worth rose by nearly $3 billion, according to a Forbes estimate, since he returned to office. Watch the interview Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on 60 Minutes.

Still astounding to me that the media by and large accepted the narrative that Trump's narrow win represented such a huge paradigm shift that they treated these pardons as such an inevitability they weren't worth fussing over.

No matter what Democrats do to hold the administration to account, it will never be as absurd as Trump pardoning all of the J6 convicted criminals on his first day without judicial review. Keep that in mind if Dems are accused of moving too fast on some correction.

ICE agents blocked the emergency entrance of an LA hospital for two full hours, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere. This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.

Warren: "I do want to be clear: If you've been making your profits by cheating American families and scamming your investors, you better get ready for some investigations. Serious ones."

She says "I'm defending the Constitution". DHS hauls her into the ICE snitch line headquarters in Williston, Vermont in response. This was at an action at the 2 ICE centers here today. Abolish and prosecute ICE!!!

My message to Democrats is simple: When we have the power, we have to use it. Please don't tell me about a majority—SHOW me what a majority can do. A people-powered majority with a mandate for justice, a mandate for compassion, and a mandate for progress.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Maryland) is demanding an investigation into the death of a Maryland man in ICE custody and possible “retaliation” against his wife for speaking out, according to a letter sent to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Sen. Van Hollen slams administration over ICE custody death of Maryland man

Julian Curo Churata died at a detention facility on Sept. 29. His wife was put in deportation proceedings after she spoke out.

My top line takeaway from the election is up: NOBODY HAS TO BE LEFT BEHIND. It turns out we DON’T have to sacrifice trans kids to win. We DON’T have to deport our neighbors. We DON’T have to support abusers with Nazi tattoos. We can just *have principles* and win. My latest in @thenation.com

Actually, Democrats Don’t Have to Sacrifice Trans People or Immigrants to Win

For two years, leading Democratic factions have insisted the party must abandon key populations to win. Tuesday proved them wrong.

Mamdani: This is our opportunity to understand that there is only one majority in this country, and that's the working class. Whether you're living in Minnesota, whether you're living in Texas or South Carolina, you deserve dignity that you can actually measure and feel in your life

As a general note, I think one lesson Dems should have learned is that there's nothing to be gained in being slow & methodical. The way to succeed in this media environment is to do *everything at once, all the time*. Always be acting, setting the agenda, dictating the news cycle. Move, move, move.

It’s not a question of "getting even." It’s not even a question. It’s a duty. It’s the power and duty of Congress to provide oversight. To ensure that the executive branch is being operated in accordance with the Constitution and the laws that Congress has enacted on the people’s behalf. ...

"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.

THIS JUST IN: Democrats have FLIPPED the Texas State Board of Education! This is a monumental win for Texas students, families, and the entire education community in our great state. Congratulations to our incredible candidates!

I stopped by Renee and Alex’s memorials today and was inspired to see all those who showed up to pay their respects and leave an “I voted” sticker. We have not forgotten. Accountability is coming.
