I think this might be the single biggest mass abduction campaign carried out by the Zionist entity, ever.
This is fucking insane and the world just doesn't give a fuck.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.

If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.

Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Job Garcia is a hard working PhD student who attends the prestigious Claremont Graduate University in my district- and a U.S. citizen. He was unjustly arrested by ICE during one of their raids, which is further proof that ICE tactics are terrorizing our communities and no one is safe.

[Jack Herrera @jherrerx]

I don’t know if Americans realize how often ICE arrests US citizens, and how long those citizens can spend detained. I spoke to Davino Watson, who spent 3.5 years in a detention center. He was a citizen every minute of that time. 1/3

THEY DID THIS TO A U.S CITIZEN:

[Film The Police LA @FilmThePoliceLA]

City of LA to declare tacos the “Official Food”.

They are going to place a *special tax* on tacos. Bulk of the money going to the LAPD.

WTF

Lewelyn has lived in the U.S. for 50 years. She’s a green card holder, a lab technician at UW Medicine, and a trusted pillar in her family. Now, she’s in ICE detention while trying to come home after visiting loved ones in the Philippines.

She’s part of our union family. And what’s happening to her could happen to any one of us.

We’re calling on UW to do better:
– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

✊🏽 Stand with Lewelyn. Stand with immigrant workers.

Mexico's left-wing President Claudia Sheinbaum (who has 80% approval) has officially recognized Palestine as a state and welcomed the Palestinian ambassador.

This is very symbolic, because Sheinbaum is Jewish. She supports Palestinian human rights and criticized Israel's attacks

Two young children in Detroit froze to death after their unhoused mother's calls for help went unanswered. We spend trillions on war while ending homelessness would cost much less. Our priorities are broken.

The Los Angeles City Council has again delayed a vote on new eviction protections for tenants who lost jobs in the fires.

My @LAist story gets into the heated debate splitting the council, and bringing landlords and tenants out to City Hall in droves. https://t.co/5SRqOuioWy

Girl You have the resources to do a lot. You could fund legal services, translation services, permanently fund mutual aid programs, direct action that disrupts raids, immigration assistance programs that facilitate these folks’ on their way in etc

[GhostofDurruti @DurrutiRiot]

You're watching activists from a Mexican sex workers union storming the judicial building in Mexico City this week, following the attempted murder of a trans woman. Cops just let the alleged perp go. This is how we defend our comrades. No justice. No peace.

1. Want some fun news before the Monday inauguration that you won't have heard anywhere else? The antitrust enforcers (Lina Khan et al) went full Tony Montana on big business this week before Trump people took over. Here's just part of what they did.

Los Angeles is burning right now because of what We the People have allowed rich people to do. Here is what has happened: 1🧵
