Una società che viola o cancella i diritti delle donne è una società destinata a non progredire. Un Paese che si allontana dalla democrazia e scivola verso l’autoritarismo è un Paese che attacca e disconosce per primi, fra tutti i diritti, i diritti delle donne. Un tempo credevo che le nostre figlie, le nostre nipoti, le nostre studentesse non avrebbero dovuto subire i pregiudizi, le prevaricazioni e la violenza che abbiamo subito noi. Mi sbagliavo, stanno già vivendo molto di quello che è accaduto a noi e ...

It's a Wednesday night and you're sitting at your desk surrounded by textbooks, unfinished assignments, and a growing sense of panic.A big test looms tomorrow. Your phone buzzes.

Why not.You go and you get this sense of relief when you get the ...

What's happening right now is very different than anything we've seen before. On Saturday morning, when federal agents jumped out of an unmarked van near a Home Depot parking lot, they began grabbing people. A deliberate targeting of a heavily Latino suburb.A similar scene played out when a clothing company was raided downtown. In other actions, a US citizen nine months pregnant was arrested, a four-year-old girl taken, families separated, friends quite literally disappearing. In response, everyday Angeleno ...

Welcome to the beat everyone. We're monitoring live pictures from Los Angeles as we come on the air right now. People are continuing these protests after what has widely been reported as the Trump administration's escalation. 700 Marines now deployed by the administration arriving today. You can see some of the indications of this type of military presence on American streets. This is a rare effort to deploy US troops inside the US for what would seem like policing purposes, although the details are in deba ...

Donald Trump, without consulting California law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state's National Guard members to deploy on our streets illegally and for no reason. This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers, and even our National Guard at risk. That's when the downward spiral began.He doubled down on his dangerous National Guard deployment by fanning the flames even harder. He again chose escalation. He chose more forc ...

And joining us now is Democratic Congresswoman Norma Torres of California. Congresswoman, thank you. I want to start with how President Trump is framing the situation in LA.Here's part of this speech that he gave in front of active duty military at Fort Bragg yesterday. Listen. What you're witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order, and on national sovereignty carried out by riers bearing foreign flags with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country.We're not goi ...

We bring in Mark Leovich. His latest piece asks this question, "Where is Barack Obama?" And in it, Mark, you write in part, quote, "No matter how brazen Trump becomes, the most effective communicator in the Democratic party continues to opt for minimal communication. His audacity of hope presidency has given way to the fierce lethargy of semi-retirement." Obama's conspicuous scarcity while Trump inflicts such damage isn't just a bad look. It's a dereliction of the message that he built his career on.When Ob ...

California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.The moment we have feared, has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball. A wrecking ball to our Founding Fathers historic project.Three co-equal branches of independent government. No longer any checks and balances. Congress is nowhere to be found.Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility. The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of ...

California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.This moment we have feared has arrived. Donald Trump's government isn't protecting our communities. They're traumatizing our communities.And that seems to be the entire point. California will keep fighting. We'll keep fighting on behalf of our people. All of our people, including in the courts. ...
