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.

Absolutely. When wealth and power are this concentrated, everything from healthcare to housing becomes a privilege instead of a right.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Imagine supporting a lifelong con man, sexual predator and 34x convicted felon that tried to deny a fair election and completely overturn democracy just to hold on to power… and then feel threatened when every day citizens legally protest peacefully to point out the corruption occurring.
