I don’t care what people tell you, but LA definitely has 4 seasons: Pilot, Earthquake, Fire and Award.

If hearing it from advocates isn’t enough, if hearing it from senators isn’t enough, if hearing it from nonprofits and lawyers and doctors and family members isn’t enough — what about hearing it from a child? Enough.

This is incredible news — the citizenship question was a political stunt that would have suppressed Latinx and immigrant participation in the #2020Census and shortchanged local governments in desperate need of resources. Big, big win.
BREAKING: Administration confirms that the #2020Census questionnaire will be printed WITHOUT a citizenship question. The printer has been instructed to start the process. Now is the time to ensure that all people participate in the #2020Census.

The discrepancy between what DHS is telling the public vs what their Inspector General raised internally is either incompetence, immorality, or both. Regardless of the cause, the mistreatment of children and families at the border must stop now. nbcnews.com/politics/immigra…

Ajamu Baraka on Twitter Senator Warren: does Benjamin Netanyahu fall into the category of brutal authoritarians or does the fact that he was elected exclude him? Also, since you are so sensitive to black lives, tell me, do Palestinians live matter to you?

How do you debate humane conditions for children like blankets, soap and toothbrushes with colleagues like THIS?
Rep. Burgess on conditions in migrant camps: "You know what? There's not a lock on the door. Any child is free to leave at anytime, but they don't. You know why? Because they are well taken care of." on.msnbc.com/2IFVofT

"If you want water, just drink from a toilet." That's what border patrol told one thirsty woman we met on today's #DemsAtTheBorder trip. These are the same CBP personnel who threatened to throw burritos at members of Congress. Changes must be made. #DontLookAway
