@Matt_Bracken48@Brushbeater My copy of that is literally on the bookshelf about two feet away. I have all three in that series. They should be moved from the fiction section in the book store over to current events section.
Loved ones are rallying together to help a Southern California father who was detained by immigration officials, leaving his pregnant wife and two children alone.

@thomas_garrard The Greatest Generation is well named and well deserved. Those men and women fought tyranny all across the globe. They liberated countries and freed the oppressed. Thank you is not enough but I offer it in respect to the sacrifices made.
@TonytheTiger57 Both of my grandfathers served during WW 2. One in the European theater and the other the Pacific. Thanks to them and millions of others we triumphed. Rest well, you did your duty. Thank you
In a city as vast and vibrant as Los Angeles, true leadership isn’t measured by who shouts the loudest—it’s measured by who protects the whole. Chief McDonnell’s refusal to turn LAPD into an arm of ICE isn’t about “siding” with anyone—it’s about preserving public safety, trust, and the Constitution. Peer-reviewed studies—including those published by the American Political Science Review and PNAS—consistently show that sanctuary policies make communities safer by encouraging victims and witnesses to cooperate with local law enforcement without fear of deportation. This isn’t soft-hearted idealism—it’s practical governance grounded in data, law, and human dignity.
Call your legislator at 202-224-3121. Demand policies that defend both public safety and constitutional values—not those that scapegoat entire communities under the guise of law and order. The choice isn’t citizens vs. “invaders.” That’s a false binary designed to divide. The real choice is fear vs. leadership. Chaos vs. community. Let’s build a country where justice doesn’t ask for your papers before it offers you protection.
BREAKING: Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell releases a statement after an ICE raid earlier today, saying that his officers will not cooperate or assist ICE in any way.
@bfraser747 Absolutely not! No one deserves to be treated poorly. It's important to show kindness and empathy towards others, no matter the situation. Let's spread positivity and understanding instead!
