this is OUTRAGEOUS. @LACProbation is putting our community’s children in danger. #KidsNotCages #ReleaseThemAll #TheseAreChildren #COVID19
As of today, Tuesday, more than 58 percent of kids in LA County's juvenile halls are quarantined for COVID-19 exposure. bit.ly/3mYXzgl

Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.

god bless Judge Sullivan. he is truly trying to save our democracy. this is most incredible Minute Order i’ve ever seen. 🙏 #Vote #BidenHarris2020
Judge Sullivan’s order requires USPS, among other things, to disseminate a memo *tomorrow morning* rescinding the Trump admin’s July restrictions on overtime and to hand out lists of state-specific ballot receipt deadlines by *Thursday morning*

This is so profoundly disappointing. In the midst of a pandemic, with so many unable to pay rent, our response is to legislate cruelty?

so eating and being served at a restaurant in a tent is okay, but living in one because you have nowhere else to go is not. taking up public space is okay, but only as a consumer.

A demagogue can win an election & become president. He can hold the base. But if checked and constrained by Republican elected officials and business and opinion leaders, the damage he can do is limited. The capitulation of GOP and conservative elites is the story of these years.

Must-read. Confirms our @NBCNews reporting on the Stephen Miller-led Situation Room meeting where he demanded a show-of-hands vote to separate kids.
NEW: “We need to take away children,” AG Sessions told prosecutors, according to a draft DOJ IG report. That statement contradicts Sessions’ previous claim that “we never really intended” to separate children. w/@shearm @ktbenner nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/po…

"Through all the scandals and crimes and disasters of the past four years, Mike Pence was the man who pretended not to notice. And now there was a fly on his head, and he pretended not to notice that too,” writes @DavidFrum: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
we are watching a needless tragedy unfold in real time at #Adelanto. stop this before it is too late, @ICEgov & @TheGEOGroup. #ReleaseThemAll #ShutItDown #WeAreAllImmigrants
Nearly 20% of people detained at Adelanto ICE Processing Center have tested positive for COVID-19.
There were 148 active cases as of Wednesday am, according to the ICE website. The facility housed 772 people as of Monday, ICE said in a court filing.

In 2017, Trump paid $750 in taxes. That same year undocumented immigrants paid over 27 Billion. Remind me, who’s the burden on the economy?

Disturbing video posted by @BHCourier’s Braslow of an #lasd deputy apparently using a riot shield to repeatedly strike a person on the ground in West Hollywood last night. @LACoSheriff @WHDLASD @KPCC @LAist
civil rights lawsuits are crucial to expose police misconduct. but to really #HoldThemAccountable the settlement/verdict $$ must come out of police dept budgets and officers’ paychecks. without that, departments (& officers) don’t face any consequence. *we* pay the price.
while you’re at it, #DefundICE!
ICE threatens to not allow Members in if we insist on our phones. Looks like we need to write this into an apropps bill. Members of Congress should be able to take in our phones. Others in the facility have their phones but not us? What’s there to hide?

It truly is incredible to see how little Trump & McConnell have done to try to stop or even address more than 200,000 American deaths. And yet, with RBG’s death, they have shown how fast they can move—especially when trying to cut the American people out of an unpopular process.
