Apparently, US forces struck something, somewhere in Venezuela, and the Pentagon, CIA, and others in the administration are giving no details. We wouldn't even know if Trump didn't blurt it out on the radio. Under what authority was military force used? #NoForeverWars

A year after LA community colleges gave hundreds of students $1,000 a month, how are they faring? - LAist Look how little it took to make a real difference in students’ lives. Community building vs Profits. Invest in people not just AI.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Top ICE chief lied under oath when he testified he was hit with a rock which is why he used tear gas on protesters. Videos show he was not hit with anything. He needs to be arrested for assault on state charges so he can’t be pardoned. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com//

WATCH: “This viral chart about who uses SNAP is a complete lie 🤥 - 35% go to white people, the largest share… 90% are 🇺🇸-born citizens… 70% work full time, meaning it’s subsidizing corporations that don’t pay workers a living wage… 86% of SNAP households have children…”

LAUSD will offer dinners to students as federal shutdown delays SNAP benefits - LAist Donate as much as you can to food banks, churches; urge any organization to which you belong to look out for all the hungry families and individuals that have been put out of work by this administration.

Trump/GOP attack everything that’s blue from blue collar workers to blue states & blue cities! This is the most anti-worker, unAmerican administration in USA history! Trump is a union buster all to help billionaires including himself! He knows unions fought & won rights & dignity! Stand with unions!

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

If you want to help in LA this article lists great resources that help both immigrants and also people who have lost housing and jobs due to the fires. Cash-strapped L.A. cities ask private donors to help immigrants pay rent following ICE raids - LAist

Federal cuts leave Los Angeles County health system in crisis - Los Angeles Times Wish we could just deduct the cost from what we send to the Feds. Especially since they are waging war on us.

What I learned patrolling for ICE in Terminal Island. The same federal facility that detained Japanese Americans in 1942 is now the staging ground for immigration raids across LA. One San Pedro resident documents what he’s seen and why history feels like it’s repeating itself.
