powerful community testimonies happening at the #first5la commission meeting. tobacco tax revenue has dropped massively, & parents are organizing to ask for an 18-month transition for #beststart instead of ending all funding in 3 months

Rapid response and patrol teams have become an effective strategy in both deterring ICE activity and creating relationships with vulnerable populations affected by ICE.

Trump’s real base of support β€” billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street β€” know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward.

2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country.

Be warned.

The UC Regentsβ€”the same people who cowered, while unions fought the Trump admin in courtβ€”are meeting this week at UCLA to discuss new rules to muzzle faculty speech, among other abhorrent appeasement strategies.

This TUESDAY let’s show them who we really are.

A former Palantir exec just published an extortion letter in the Washington Post: Democrats must fund tech oligarchs, abandon antitrust, and create 15 deregulated corporate zonesβ€”or β€œlose.”

When I challenged her, she blocked me.

Massachusetts’s Millionaire Tax Didn’t Lead the Rich to Flee Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for an additional 2% tax on incomes over $1 million has provoked gloomy prophecies of elite exodus. Yet a similar policy Massachusetts passed three years ago has not caused the rich to flee and has generated significant revenue.

Six people hand out literature and hold signs, including "Mayor Lurie, Don't ConnectSF to Bigotry" and "Lurie, You're Fundraising for the Anti-Trans Agenda."

Just got back from protesting ConnectedSF's gala. This org's leader Marie Hurabiell tweeted that trans women aren't women and undocumented people are violent criminals. And Mayor Lurie was a featured guest helping her fundraise! Clearly, Lurie is not good at vetting people. 🧡

Federal Government Reopened; Congress Must Now Pass FY26 HUD Spending Bill to Protect Vouchers and Housing Assistance for Over 170,000 People who Have Experienced Homelessness–Take Action! By Kim Johnson, NLIHC Senior Director of Policy and Alayna Calabro, NLIHC Senior Policy Analyst

"As rent costs rise each year, increased funding is necessary to maintain assistance. Flat funding reduces ... available vouchers."

Absolutely insane that the U.S. government pays increasing amounts of $$ to private landlords each year rather than operating social housing.

Trump’s ICE Turns Its Target to Activists, Not Just Immigrants ICE demanded Meta hand over personal information attached to Instagram accounts that track immigration raids.

Meta sent emails to 6 people informing them that ICE had served the company with a subpoena demanding extensive personal information about the users. The accounts, most notably StopIce.net, are part of a broader crowd-sourcing movement that works to publicly identify masked ICE agents.
