This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Boom! Who’s winning the shutdown debate? THE ACA.

More Republicans than Democrats use the ACA marketplace. So the GOP’s base is relying on the same program their party is causing premiums to skyrocket.

45% of ACA marketplace enrollees are Republicans, and most live in GOP-held districts.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

I actually really like this - will be a good visual when all the conservative news outlets try to paint us as anti-American. WE represent what our flag means...not them!

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Ticketing a lawful permanent resident for not carrying their papers is unnecessary and doesn't make our cities safer.

We will continue to push back against the Trump administration's cruel attempts to stoke fear in immigrant communities.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

President Trump is trying to deploy the military and federal law enforcement in U.S. cities to stoke fear, suppress free speech, and expand his power by any means necessary.

People across the country must keep pushing back and advocating for their communities and their rights.
