I'm a US citizen who was adopted. I ordered my birth certificate from the County Recorder, but it is sealed. Now trying to get my amended birth certificate from the Vital Records department. $78 and 3 months so far. What have you done today in preparation for the midterms?

Ok. We needed this shot in the arm as we gathered with our peeps. Now, let's get to work! -Donate to progressive candidates -Volunteer in your community -Register people to vote. Help them get the paperwork they need -Join postcard or letter campaigns -Call your Congress Critters daily

If male Olympic athletes feel this way about female Olympians, what do you think they feel about Paralympic athletes?

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Directed by Thom Zimny Edited by Thom Zimny and Samuel Shapiro Production Footage: Pam Springsteen and Thom Zimny

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Today is a good day to check in on anybody you know who may be a nurse.

#NoKings Day in California includes signs about protecting voting rights for all of us. Proud of my small town. #Indivisible

The #TrumpShutdown is imminent.

We love somebody who is autistic. Actually, we adore him. What seems to be getting lost in all this eugenics talk from the White House is that we would never think of changing a thing about him.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

California Wine Country is being removed, vineyard by vineyard. SO MANY grapevines are being torn out and the fields left barren. 1. Past overplanting 2. Changing tastes 3. Market uncertainty But the death knoll had been tariffs and the resulting boycott of US products.

The whole health care system is at risk because of the Medicaid cuts in Trump's reconciliation bill. app.sosha.ai/s/ZxswxUHV

If I could give myself...or anyone else...just one piece of advice for this week, it would be this: Post, share, retweet, etc. at least 4-6 things related to Epstein and the WH coverup...Every.Day. #KeepItGoing #EpsteinCoverup

They're now using the social security notification system to push their propaganda. Just got this.

I managed to sleep a few hours. It was the hardest night in Kyiv. 14 people were killed and 99 were injured. Perhaps it is not a final number 💔 I opened the window (luckily, I still have one after this night). Then closed it. Kyiv is covered in terrible smoke.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Where are my gramma peeps who have attended most 2025 rallies and town halls, and are ready to rock and roll tomorrow???

Elbows up, Canada. Do not sit this one out.

"Untrue, impossible, & ableist": We join @autisticadvocacy.org in condemning HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s ignorant, absurd promise that “by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures.” autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/trum...

Just wondering how many seniors and members of the disabled community are terrified that their Social Security won't show up this month.

Massive protests have erupted in the nation's capital, Ankara—possibly the largest in Turkey's history—against Erdoğan's authoritarian rule following his arrest of Istanbul's mayor. In power since 2003, he has been cracking down on free speech and opposition.

So far nothing on any news channels. I hope this gets covered today.

Let’s go, Isaiah! We need fresh voices and real fighters in Congress. 🔥

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

BREAKING: 24 senior leaders have resigned and regions have been consolidated from 10 to 4 at the Social Security Administration. We're SCREWED! THIS IS A 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: 202-224-3121 socsecnews.blogspot.com/2025/02/even...

Imagine spending years training & studying to become a marine biologist, wildlife specialist, or park ranger only to watch the ONLY jobs in your field vanish overnight. These aren’t just cuts; they’re wiping out entire careers people dedicated their lives to & hurting our environment in the process.

Americans don't understand that Medicaid has a different name in each state. I was with the adult daughter of a mom who is in a long-term care facility. The adult daughter told me she is not worried about cuts to Medicaid because her mom's care is paid by Medi-Cal. That's what California calls it.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Has anybody made a list of Republican senators and congressmen who we can contact with letters and phone calls in Washington? Ones that might be influenced by our stories of how all these cuts will affect our lives. Contacting my Representatives who are Democrats seems fruitless.

I have 2 Democratic senators and one Democratic congressman. I've been contacting all three daily. But I know they're on the same team as me. I want to be able to contact Republican Congress people who may be influenced by letters and phone calls. How can I do that? You need to give your ZIP code.

I know there is a lot of anger and fear over Trump and Musk’s attacks on our federal government and essential programs—rightly so. I want you to know you can count on me to fight back. Here’s an update on what I’m doing…

I'm finding it harder and harder to endure the constant criticism while at the same time helping those who criticize us. Our state is the front line of dealing with natural disasters. I wonder how our fellow Americans will "fix" the fact that some of them just want us to burn.

Being woke means the disabled community has a safety net here, immigrants are welcomed, and we embrace volunteerism. We have sent lots of money AND lots of people to every prior disaster. As a California volunteer after hurricane Katrina, we joked that everybody in California was in Louisiana.

I don't speak for all Californians, but I believe an issue is not being discussed regarding withholding disaster aid from us. For years, we have endured endless criticism from fellow Americans because we are "woke". Being woke involves empathy, which is evident in my state in so many ways. 1

Went to a local restaurant. Owner says business has been super slow since the inauguration because our immigrant workers have not been coming in to buy meals. Likewise the movie theater, hardware store, department store, pizza place...

Proud Californian here. I would just like Mike Johnson to know that after Katrina, there were so many volunteers from our state helping in his state that we joked that the world would tilt on its axis because nobody was left in California and everybody was in Louisiana.
