Prop 50 is about defending democracy. Republicans already stole seats in Texas without voters having any say. California is doing it differently: we get a one-time shot to fight back, then it reverts to our independent redistricting commission.

The beginning of what got us here.

Since there have been ICE impersonators, what's to stop local law enforcement from insisting these masked thugs show their face and photo ID or badge number to prove they're not just a civilian? Make them prove what they are doing is legal. Or arrest them for violating local open carry gun laws.

It's not shocking how horrible a human 47 is. He's shown his true colors for a long time. What's shocking is how many Americans are all too happy to give someone like that a leadership role, and cheering as he continues to consolidate more and more power, eschewing the constitution in the process.

Finally some common sense is prevailing. 👏👏

I just discovered this meme and I love it. Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

from today's post, about Donny Convict's bloodthirsty spite-fueled police-state clusterfuck in Los Angeles. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/43AfmSZ (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

More of this, please. Glendale, CA just canceled its agreement with ICE to house undocumented immigrants taken into custody after pressure from activists who said it violated sanctuary laws.

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

47 declared his bullshit "emergency" about Venezuela & Tren De Aragua. His administration keeps insisting Garcia is MS-13. That seems like proof that they deported someone not covered by his "emergency" and therefore deported him illegally. Seems cut & dry to me. If I'm wrong I'd love to hear why.

35,000+ in LA to see Bernie & AOC

Let’s keep the pressure on about the market manipulation. But let’s also not forget that cabinet members were texting war plans on Signal. We can’t let the outrage fatigue let us overlook one huge story because they keep doing outrageous stuff.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

I saw someone asking for a good response to that idiotic "if tariffs are so bad, why do other countries have tariffs on us?" meme, so I thought I'd offer up my response: "You're standing in front of a house fire saying 'if fire is so bad, why do people have candles?'"

Since SCOTUS confirmed a president has the ability to fire federal employees, I hope all of these MAGA appointees recognize that their job Security has a four year shelflife. I wouldn’t purchase property if I were them.

They have the power to stop him… THEY CHOOSE TO LET HIM RULE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS!!!

From Nov 7:

Yes they are.

Democracy was destroyed in North Carolina, today, as Griffin’s appellate court peers sided with stealing an election. About as unAmerican as it gets and this happening should be on all media outlet radars! www.wral.com/amp/21944370/

Idiocracy exacts a heavy price.

Trump is LYING about other countries' tariffs -- by as much as 3-10x Literally ZERO countries in the world have tariffs as high as Trump is claiming.

Narrator: "It did not make them rich."

My wife is bringing out her “ She persisted “ t-shirt to wear to a rally on Saturday! Get out there people!

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

The outrage shouldn’t only be about a NatSec adviser being an incompetent boob or the SecDef put classified info on a commercial chat app. The outrage is they’re ALL doing it to avoid creating a record of their deliberations & putting it out of reach of FOIA, Congress & Nat archives. #DemVoice1

Wooooooboyyyyyy!!! Democratic House Rep. Melanie Stansbury went off about Republicans discussing efficiency standards for walk-in refrigerators. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

‼️

@schumer.senate.gov , you gotta go

I wanna be clear - age does not have to be a barrier to meeting the moment. 83 yo Bernie Sanders is recognizing the direction threat of Musk and Trump and barnstorming the country. Frozen beliefs and attendant hesitancy at any age will not meet this moment. For that reason we need Reform.

Here’s an idea on how to deal with these tariffs… Any company who raises its prices before they cut their CEO’s salary gets boycotted.

Lin-Manuel Miranda announced the cancellation of musical Hamilton at the Kennedy Center next year. “The Kennedy Center was not created in this spirit, and we’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center,” Miranda said. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/great-news...

No matter how much I thought I was prepared for the fire hose of stupidity and ineptitude from this administration, I really wasn't. And that's saying A LOT!

💪🏼💪🏼 my guy

Yet another party line confirmation of a supremely unqualified appointment. One more reason to mistrust anyone with an (R) next to their name until shown they care about the American people more than their cult leader and billionaires.

I can't believe the damage he's already done to our global reputation. Europe has basically given up hope that the US will do the right thing. And I don't blame them. Our president, VP, congress, and SCOTUS simply won't. More troubling is that 1/2 of US voters asked for this shit! The rot is within.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation. DO THAT TO THEM! And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!

Those of you who couldn't bring yourselves to vote for Harris because "Dems aren't strong enough in their support of Palestinians", how's that working out for you & the Palestinians right about now?

The “politicization of the Department of Justice” is really just a misphrasing. It’s really the natural result of the criminalization of our elected officials.
