BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signs order creating “ICE-free zones” to ban ICE agents from staging for raids on illegal aliens.

The most significant way Santa Clara County reduced the jail population was by eliminating money bail for most charges. No increase in crime. Then, inexplicably in 2022, they ended this "zero dollar bail" policy. It's been time to bring it back. Read why: siliconvalleydebug.org/stories/if-san…

So true!

there in Torrance, kidnappers (or ICE? hard to tell when they don't ID themselves) are comically turned away at the Bubble Bath car wash. She calls them fat, out of shape, and other assorted names as they harass a man who is clearly not a murderer or gang member, but alas, a simple man working hard keeping cars clean down in the Beach Communities.

In the face of executive orders targeting our undocumented and trans patients, @aboutKP San Francisco nurses took action. Protecting our most vulnerable patients is what nurse advocacy looks like! ✊

His family was outside the hospital after Ulises was brutalizing by ICE. When they called to check in on his status,@elcaminohealth covered for ICE, saying there was a staff shift so he couldn't speak. In reality, they were allowing ICE agents to take him. kqed.org/news/12028303/…

For importing thousands of doses of opioids, SJPOA Exec Joanne Segovia got a sentence of probation b/c prosecutor said she was an addict. But under #prop36 if someone addicted consumed a small dosage of the drug she imported, they would face prison. 🤷🏾‍♂️ kqed.org/news/12023259/…

70+ community organizations submitted a letter to the Santa Clara County District Attorney on how to reduce the harms of #Prop36. Without protection, this policy will lead to mass incarceration and deportations. Read the letter here: bit.ly/FightAgainstPr…

@SenSchumer This means they will get the social security they paid into when they worked under social security, not for the government job! Don't twist it!

Tonight, the Senate finally corrects a fifty-year mistake by passing the Social Security Fairness Act. Millions of retired teachers and firefighters and letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment. No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed from them, thanks to this bill.

The ballots have been counted and the results are final, WE WON THE DISTRICT 2 SAN JOSE CITY COUNCIL SEAT!! This historic victory belongs to all of us who believe in the power of community and grassroots leadership, our future is bright✨#AVoice4ALLinCityHall #Here4YOUinDistrict2

Families who lost loved ones to police have been pushing for a non-police crisis response approach for years. Got it started, but been uphill in broad implementation. Finally got an independent line - but more improvements needed and coming to save lives from police violence.
