Nazi ICE agents kidnapped a woman at LAX and refused to identify themselves. They forced her into a van and drove away. A witness recorded what happened. “Please call 911,” she screams.

Another NEW development in my case against AG Todd Blanche: he has now filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, trying to get rid of my case at this stage of the lawsuit. Blanche must be a glutton for punishment because he just recycles the same losing arguments. youtu.be/32RC_CPlZhI?...

Popo is a 5 month old boy who came to us yesterday after being mistreated on the street. He is congenitally blind in 1 eye, very thin and afraid, he's got a long road ahead... but it's a much safer one. Our medicine fund helps us to treat dogs like Popo: 🔗 secure.givelively.org/donate/kabul...
