I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

Protesters came to Burbank, who objected to Sonja’s destruction of Public Education, anti LGBTQ tirades, book banning and bullying. She blamed protesters for the low turnout to her event.

Sonja Shaw met with Moms 4 Liberty Burbank today, and told them that Bill Essayli called her last March to announce that SHE would be running for State Superintendent of Education.

"A Google form he posted with questions on the top issues they’re concerned about got close to a thousand responses, he told me. He learned that immigration and ICE raids are by far the number-one issue for these Latino Californians."

They’re publishing the list of Bluesky accounts the shooter follows & it’s primarily people who tell you to stop protesting and vote harder

Christian nationalist “pastor” and multiply-accused alleged missionary fraudster Sean Feucht brought his whole family to Mar a Lago (what abt saving the kids, Sean?) this weekend. He’s now using the attempted attack on the WHCD to blame “teachers” + take credit for protective power of his prayers.

Ohhhhh myyyyy goddddd LMFAO

“During a bright flash on screen, our reporter realized they were sitting next to Jordan Henry, one of the film’s subjects, and … Scott Meyers, a congressional candidate for California’s 30th district.” was at this screening / can confirm / any lite laugher was me & the other queers in masks

The Pentagon fired the watchdog for Stars and Stripes. Ombudsman Jacqueline Smith whose entire job was protecting the editorial independence of the military’s own newspaper was let go with no explanation and told the decision was “not grievable.”

New from me @lcrw.news This time last week I was on my way to the @lapressclub.bsky.social to see an advanced screening of Moms Club- I was hoping for a quiet chill night. However, the documentary came to life in the Q&A leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/con...

Also, FWIW: the TRUMP-administration Department of the Treasury essentially killed the beneficial ownership reporting requirement for US entities in March of 2025. Because of course. www.fincen.gov/news/news-re...

Re: the DOJ’s bank fraud claims against SPLC, the thrust is that SPLC used sole proprietorships to open bank accounts without disclosing they were cutouts. But before 2018, banks weren’t required to obtain beneficial ownership info, undermining the idea that SPLC defrauded them by not disclosing. 1/

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists. I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

Peter Thiel’s “meeting with Milei is scheduled for Thursday…It will be one of the Argentine president’s first activities after returning from his official trip to Israel & the 4th meeting he has held with Thiel in 2 years.“ 4/23/26 (Thiel & Milei are likely reeling from Viktor Orban’s defeat.) 1/

US Navy secretary steps down, Pentagon announces - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/us-navy-secretary-steps-down-pentagon-announces

last night, someone on tiktok asked me how wearing a mask is antifascist, so i answered: unfortunately, even passive, austere eugenics works faster if YOU participate. so step up: stand out, mask up, and take care take care take care for yourself & others—before those who seek to harm stop you.

A MAGA family member called me to warn that the “ Nick Shirley” act would harm “ investigative journalists”. No and -@&$)4#%%%* I said. “It does! I’ve read the bill.” So I read the bill : it’s about not doxxing personal info of volunteers and refugee aid workers, daycare workers,healthcare workers.

Please let me be a talking head. Like a literal talking dummy with my voice overlaid on his video. I got all the mom jokes and snark for days! Who thinks this should happen?

This. N95’s can save lives from wildfire smoke. The scientific evidence of the damage caused by Particulate matter is clear and terrifying.

Some big news out of Pursuit PNW this week. Also big news if you, like me, collect problematic pastors to cover. First: Jay Koopman of Che Ahn’s, Harvest Rock, former Feucht Hype-man , has moved his family from OC to the PNW and joining the Pursuit team.

Friends! HOA, rescue that saved Roary needs help. CT, like other states, has a crisis of dumped/unwanted cats and feral colonies have ballooned. HOA is launching a TNR effort but needs help desperately (see comment for details). For Roary, please consider sharing. 1/ www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

There is no plan for Gen X & elder Millennials who aren't saving a million or more for retirement. We're watching senior (Boomer/Silent) unhoused numbers skyrocket. Yet another reason why xenophobic MAGA policies are fatal. Aging populations NEED immigrants. finance.yahoo.com/news/many-am...

@catmanaleppo.bsky.social needs support to keep feeding and caring for the 100s of cats and dogs his org has saved from war and conflict situations in Syria. Things are dire right now, he needs supplies. gofund.me/f765392a1

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Meta threw a party for influencer Isabel Brown to celebrate 100 episodes of her podcast, where she sings the praises of motherhood, frets about the dangers of open borders, and asks rhetorical questions about homosexuality.

an experience i have all too often (qt) when engaging with timely media is hitting the brick wall of silence the CNP has cultivated—so i truly hope MOMS CLUB goes the distance it should. shoutout to @daisygardner.bsky.social @skyspider.bsky.social @directedbyrocky.bsky.social etc — you’re doin it.

indeed my own beef with the council for national policy runs deep: i have lupus for which i take the medication hydroxychloroquine; when the CNP coalesced around ending covid mitigation & reopening in early 2020, HCQ played an essential role as snake oil in assuaging a rightfully concerned public.

a great way to have an ounce of agency within this nightmare scenario? wear a mask in public indoor spaces. that’s it. really. it works.

i just saw MOMS CLUB, detailing the way a group of normal folks took on the council for national policy’s influence in their—& their queer youths—lives. their work & their story needs to be told. i look forward to continuing to support this film, & most any work bringing needed attention to the CNP.

in the interest of the importance of telling our own stories, i have a request for #SocialScienceSky #ResearchSky: may i pick your brain on a line of qualitative questioning for data collection from my fellow autoimmune patients about the shortages that hit us so hard due to mis & disinformation?

Chuck Schumer sent Israel the bulldozer that was used to crush American Peace and Palestinian Rights activist Rachel Corrie to death with twenty three years ago.

These Dem senators voted today to continue sending 1,000 pound bombs to kill and obliterate, and Caterpillar bulldozers to destroy homes and infrastructure: Richard Blumenthal Chris Coons Catherine Cortez Masto John Fetterman Kirsten Gillibrand Jacky Rosen Chuck Schumer

Spending a lot of time ripping out crab grass by hand so my clover can take root out back, and it has me meditating a lot on what it means to take out fascists. We always used to say it was whack-a-mole, it wasn't. Successful antifascism in a democracy is a practice of weeding

NEW from LCRW: @katerqburns.bsky.social & our EiC report back from J6 pastor-turned failed gubernatorial candidate Che Ahn's rally at the LA Coliseum last Saturday, where they hoisted a woman out of a wheelchair and danced her legs around like a puppet & speakers said abortion is the work of Moloch

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

Words have consequences.

Absolutely psychotic shit

CALIFORNIA - Despite being officially endorsed by organizations like the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Project Los Angeles County Action Fund, Feldstein-Soto attended a rally filled with luminaries fighting against access to abortion. latenfour.com/2026/04/14/c...

Saw video of right wing “ influencer “ Clavicular who overdosed and had a seizure on his live stream. Nobody called 911. They kept filming and carried him out of the bar. I assume they drove him to the ER. This shit is really sad and dehumanizing.

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him. Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.
