I got a few Latinx folks and a legion of ICE pigs coming for my neck at the same time…
Still, I SAID WHAT I SAID…
Solidarity does not require silence.
My latest in @thelasentinel.
(I’ll pick up on the ICE bs next week.)

🚨Jared Kushner and Hakeem Jeffries were in the SAME law firm. They worked together on the First Step Act to get Jared’s daddy out of prison. That act mainly benefited white collar crime. This marriage goes WAY back!

Currently incarcerated youth in Los Angeles wrote a bill, and we just sent it to the Governor to sign
It looks like AB 1646 and AB 1647 are headed to Governor Newsom’s desk.
Both bills are meant to benefit and protect juveniles in the criminal justice system.
Much respect to Assemblyman Isaac Bryan @ib2_real 🫡
