Not sure why my governor is being a scold unless he's yelling at billionaires, not European leaders. He needs to yell at billionaires more, including the California tech billionaires backing Trump and his rampages.
>> @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom to world leaders and billionaires at Davos: It’s time to buck up. Stop being complicit. Have a backbone. Trump will play you for fools.

Just saw a video of a maybe 10 year old Asian American kid crying because during a soccer match the goalie told him that Trump was gonna get him and deport him and that kid deserves all the love and gifts.
That happened to me when I was 9: “If you don’t like it here, go back to Africa.” It’s awful

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Sherrill: "We see a POTUS illegally usurping power. He's unconstitutionally enacted a tariff regime to make billions for himself while everyone else's costs go higher. Here we demand people in public service actually serve the public instead of extorting money to benefit themselves & their cronies."

Only TWO DAYS until Jack Smith testifies publicly before Congress. Americans will hear directly about the historic Jan 6 case which led to an indictment of Trump. Smith believes he'd have proven guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Whatever distractions Trump engineers, let's not get distracted from this.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
