I was just trying to enjoy a BBQ with loved ones today and I see the former host of Celebrity Apprentice has dragged us into a war.

“Truth is not the enemy of patriotism. Silence is. That is why Juneteenth is more important than ever. It is a day not just of celebration, but of reckoning. A day to proclaim liberty and also to proclaim truth.” https://religionnews.com/2025/06/18/juneteenth-and-the-uncomfortable-truth/ #Juneteenth

“I pray we will be compelled to protect truth in our schools, in our churches, in our museums and in our memories. And I pray we will have the courage to confront those who would rather comfort the powerful than confront the past.” #Juneteenth

"'This man served with our troops. He came through the front door. He followed every rule. And we locked him up anyway,' said Shawn VanDiver, executive director for #AfghanEvac, a nonprofit that advocates for U.S. wartime allies. He said it's unknown how many Afghan allies have been detained by ICE officials." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/afghan-ally-detained-by-ice-immigration-court/

"'For more than three years I worked for the U.S. military back in my home country,' Naser said in the video as the masked officers took him into custody. 'I came here to make a better life. I didn't know this was going to happen like this for me.'"

“An Afghan man who worked alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers last week in San Diego.”

“In Walnut Creek,12-year-old Rory Nolan of Pleasant Hill made her own cardboard sign — a crown with a red line across it — to join her mother, her 15-year-old brother and her grandparents, from Lafayette, at the protest. ‘We don’t want this terrible person leading this country,’ the rising 8th grader said.” #NoKings

“Chaz Donovan, 47, of San Jose, one of thousands of protesters in the park, said he was out to support people he cares about who are in the U.S. without permission. ‘I’ve got friends and family who are afraid to protest,’ Donovan said. ‘So I’m out doing it for them.’” https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/14/no-kings-protests-trump-bay-area-outrage-senators-takedown-concerns-shootings-democrats/ #NoKings

Cynthia Santiago, a daughter of immigrants, won her high school presidential class race against Stephen Miller.

Now an immigration attorney, she’s fighting his mass abduction efforts: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/stephen-miller-deportation-high-school-classmate-b2768997.html

“Noem seemed to imply later, during an appearance on Fox News, that Padilla will not face any charges for the incident …”

WHY WOULD HE, THEY TACKLED HIM

Senator Padilla: "If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country."

The popular and successful #DACA program turns 13 this month!

Dreamers have experienced transformational changes that have not only continued enriching their own lives, but made them only more deeply ingrained in the only country they’ve ever known as home, as Yuna Oh and I recently wrote:

Cary López Alvarado, a US citizen, "lost her balance as agents 'shoved her' during her arrest over the weekend, she tearfully told NBC Los Angeles on Monday from a hospital bed. 'That’s when I kind of leaned forward, trying to protect the stomach.'"

"With just one week left before her due date, her doctors said they are monitoring López Alvarado as well as her baby ..."

"In the AC hotel, we got word from a staff member that the [ICE] agents were staying here and questioning the workers–the workers that were cleaning their rooms, the workers that were making their food. They were questioning them and asking for their ID and in a very aggressive way. So that's why our community organizers came here to say we don't want ICE here."

" ... calling a protest a rebellion to justify abusing the laws governing military deployments is a form of rebellion against the purpose of the Government of the United States. The statement alone is impeachable if not criminal."

"Pres. Donald Trump warned us for years about the criminal invaders ...
And then, yesterday, finally, it was real. On Trump’s orders, the invaders landed in Los Angeles yesterday morning. Military troops, on the streets of a major American city, ordered to use force to rob the people of their rights to protest, free assembly, and free speech ..."

"Democratic leaders need to be out there right now, today, every day, vowing to investigate and prosecute this most fundamental attack on America from the ranks of those who issued orders all the way down to anyone who followed them. In both military and civilian government."
