26yr Berkeley resident, dad. Iowa born & raised. Truth inviolable. Harvard BA '88, Govt. I #standwithharvard. We need to understand why Iowa flipped harder from Obama to Trump than any state in the union in '16. It's not just racism, bigotry & xenophobia.

Time to reclaim our symbols, as imperfect as the union they represent may be. They were always a promise to do better, never a claim of perfection. And this promise is being violated.

And of course, these incredibly consequential new laws, which came earlier in the session.

More traffic enforcement, housing opportunity, transit funding, hooray!

Thank you to Governor Newsom and the California State Legislature! Let's put the pedal to the metal on all of these initiatives locally in the Bay Area.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Not to mention supplying the weapons and bombs to support war crimes and sustain a genocide.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

How about this?

"Californians have had enough of out of touch Democrats who don't stand up for them. Katie Porter is running to fight for you.... in Californian, in Washington, and in corporate media newsrooms controlled by billionaires."
