A suggested letter to your Senator and Representative on US War Crimes
Subject:
A War Crimes Tribunal must be established for Trump, Hegseth, and others.Content:
A War Crimes Tribunal must be established for Trump, Hegseth, and others.It would be empowered to investigate crimes committed regarding:
- Small craft bombings and murder in the South America region
- Invasion and abduction of Maduro in Venezuela
- Invasion and destruction of Iran.
- Other crimes as discoveredBased on the conclusion it would be empowered to prosecute identified war crime criminals.
Democrats and others should instigate this process even outside of the formal authority of the House and Senate if necessary.

Unsurprising, but still shocking
Noem says >250 #DACA recipients #arrested & dozens #deported in 2025
#DHS Secy #KristiNoem said in a letter to #Democratic Sen #DickDurbin & other senators that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program provides just that, a deferral of removal “for a period of time.” [dog killing demon]
Durbin & Sens #AlexPadilla (D-CA) & #MarkKelly (D-AZ) blasted the treatment of DACA recipients, known as #Dreamers.

Last night, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Senator Alex Padilla gave the Democratic SOTU rebuttals to counter the president’s lies and complete failure to deliver on affordability, safety, or basic humanity to the American people.

Much of Padilla’s speech was a defense of the role #immigrants have played over #UShistory, comments that come as polls have shown declining support for Trump’s #immigration policies.
“Donald Trump will not be president forever. More importantly, the Dream that has inspired generations of Americans & immigrants will remain long after #Trump is gone,” #AlexPadilla said, listing a number of immigrant groups that faced a history of #discrimination in the #US.
-
“They have even taken the lives of two American citizens in broad daylight, simply for exercising their freedom of speech. These operations began last year in Los Angeles, in my hometown, & have spread to communities in every corner of the country. And that’s not the only threat. #Trump wants to manipulate the next election,” Sen #AlexPadilla said.

During his speech, #Trump made numerous disparaging remarks about #immigrants, including #Somalis, & also falsely claimed that noncitizens have been widely voting in US #elections.
Sen #AlexPadilla repeatedly attacked Trump’s #immigration policies & noted that since Trump took office last year, 40 people have died in #ICE custody.

Sen #AlexPadilla last year was forcibly removed from a press conference with #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem as he sought to question her about an #ICE raid in Los Angeles. It was an episode that he used to critique broader #Trump #immigration policies & the importance of fighting back.
“They may have knocked me down for a moment, but I got right back up….This country has always been shaped by people who were told they did not belong — but who persevered & kept moving forward,” he said.

“Not when the costs of #rent, #food & #electricity keep rising. Not when #Republicans raise our #medical costs to fund tax cuts for #billionaires. And definitely not when federal agents — armed & masked — terrorize our communities by targeting people because of the color of their skin or for speaking #Spanish — including immigrants with legal status & citizens,” Sen #AlexPadilla said.

“We just heard Donald #Trump do what he does best∶ #lie. He #lies about the #economy. He lies about his #violent & out-of-control enforcement of #immigration laws. And he’s trying to deceive us about his plans to interfere with the #elections this November. The truth is that the State of our Union does not feel strong for everyone,” #AlexPadilla said during his address.

Sen. #AlexPadilla (D-Calif.) bashed Trump’s #immigration policies & accused the admin of seeking to interfere in the next #election in the Democrat’s #Spanish-language rebuttal to the #SOTU address.
The speech from California’s first #Latino senator was just as focused on threats facing #democracy as the immigrant story in shaping America, ending with a direct plea to register & #vote.

#Virginia Governor #AbbySpanberger, whose decisive victory in November was seen as an early #midterms warning sign for Republicans, will deliver the official #Democratic response to the speech.
Democratic US Senator #AlexPadilla of #California, who was shoved to the ground & handcuffed last year after attempting to ask a question of #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem at a press conference, will give the Spanish-language #rebuttal.

This is fight that we need to see from our Senators in California. I’m looking at you Schiff and Padilla.

Please contact Senators Schiff and Padilla, or your Senators, on continued blockade of DHS/ICE funding.
I sent the following as an example:
Continue to block and vote against DHS/ICE funding until the Democrat demands are met, including:
1. Stop targeted enforcement - require judicial warrants
2. Ban masks
3. Require and verbalize ICE/DHS ID number and last name
4. Protect sensitive locations from enforcement actions
5. Stop racial profiling
6. Uphold use-of-force standards
7. Ensure state and local coordination and oversight
9. Require body cameras for accountability
10. Ban paramilitary policeIn the future, defund and abolish ICE.

ICE cannot be reformed. ICE must be defunded and disbanded.
I sent the following to my Congressman and Senators. You might consider sending a similar note to your set.
Subject:
ICE must be defunded and disbandedContent:
ICE must be defunded, disbanded, and agents and leadership arrested and tried for their criminal acts (the list is too long to note here).ICE cannot be reformed.
There will be no exceptions and no excuses for continued support for ICS and Homeland Security actions and policies.
You must vote against any bill containing any ICE funding or support.

I sent the following to CA Senators Schiff and Padilla. Please consider doing so.
Subject: Trump’s Illegal Boat Strikes
Topic: Defense/Military
Content:
I’m pleased to see that you’ve signed the Senate Judiciary Committee letter to Grassley pressing for a hearing on the legality of Trump's boat strikes.The US Navy must be put on notice that they are committing war crimes and that there is no illegal justification for these actions and murders.
Per your letter, "These strikes are extrajudicial killings and shocking violations of fundamental principles of due process and the right to life under U.S. and international law …. There is not, nor can there be, any justification for state-sanctioned extrajudicial killings [and S]ummary executions”.
Trump, Hegseth, and the Navy commanders in charge must be held accountable.

A suggested letter to your CA Senators Schiff and Padilla:
Subject:
Fight Club, Why Aren’t You a Member?Content:
Why aren’t you a member of the Fight Club? You should be standing with Senators Sanders, Warren, Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Markey, Merkley, and Heinrich. Democrats must throw out the tired old approach and find new ways to win elections, mostly by strongly supporting policies that the majority of the country want, as seen in the November election results.Thousands of California Democrats like me are tired of the Old Guard status quo reflected by Schumer. I’ve said this before and I'll say it again relentlessly, Schumer must go.

A note from one angry Democrat to my two CA Senators
Subject:
Elected Democrats have shamed themselves yet againMessage:
I'm an angry Democrat. I’m so tired of elected Democrats rolling over rather than fighting Republicans. And I’m tired of not hearing a peep out of you while Trump is literally tearing down this country.You have a choice. It’s quite simple.
1) Remove Schumer as minority leader and remove the 7 democrats that sided with Trump from any leadership role, and remove King from the caucus.or
2) Resign.
I’m simply done with the dinosaurs in this party and the cowards that constantly cave in. Start fighting or get out of the way.

Please contact your Senator to stand firm on the Republican/Trump shutdown.
I sent the following to Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. Subject: "Stand Firm on the Trump Republican Government Shutdown”
Message: “The shutdown is all on Trump and the Republican’s. They own and want this shutdown. Do not cave in to their bullying tactics. It will only get worse if Democrats give up. Stand firm and fight. Make sure that Schumer stands firm as well.
Get to any news outlet and social media site and make it clear that this is the doing and the plan all along by the Republican’s. Mike Johnson said as much.”

After graduating with an engineering degree from #MIT, current US Senator, and son of #Mexican immigrants, #AlexPadilla recalls being lured into politics in 1990s in wake of #Prop187 ballot measure overwhelmingly passing in #California.
The #PacificRim state's #voters supported denying illegal #immigrants social services and #education by a 58% majority, finding widespread margins of approval in 51 out of 58 counties. This total included massive #LosAngeles County, where it won by margin of eight % points amongst Padilla's own neighbors.
Since then, voter sentiment in state seems to have changed...in state where almost half of California’s children were born to an immigrant parent, approx 72% of voters surveyed now bagree presence of immigrants provide a "benefit" to the state, although only 31% of #GOP voters agree.

On, no military actions against Iran, and, stop supporting Israel
I sent the following to CA Senators Schiff and Padilla, and to my congressman Panetta. Please consider sending a similar message to stop our engagement with Iran and stop supporting Israel to your representatives.
"It’s very simple, no military actions against Iran. This is not our war.
We must stop funding, arming and supporting Israel as long as the genocide in Gaza by Israel continues and as long as Netanyahu and Likud are in power.
Do whatever you can to block Trump."
