#VoteYesOnProp50 I’m finishing up my GOTV mail for #Prop50 this week too. Come on CA Dems…let’s pull this thing over the finish line. It’s #AllGasNoBrakes until the last ballot is cast on Election Day 💪🏾😤

Ann Telnaes's Pulitzer Prize winning cartoon is once again relevant today.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.

It's really shocking that the NYT and WaPo have forgotten that Trump is a criminal who freed hundreds of violent cop assailants on his first day on the job. Every Single Story About Crime should lead with that.

There is a massive walk out at the CDC by staff unfolding right now. It is NECESSARY. I stand in solidarity with my CDC colleagues. standing up for science and public health. It is a moral imperative.

Dear Mr Nutlick Your guy has 34 felony convictions. $25 million judgement for a fraudulent university. $2 million judgment for stealing from charity. He thinks Mar-a-Lardo, his shitty golfing motel it worth $2 BILLION. WHERE IS YOUR SELF AWARENESS? Hope this helps.

Got my mailer from the hypocritical Rethugs. Funny how it's business as usual for them to gerrymander red states up the wazoo, but not for a blue state to fight back. Go pound sand!

AND - Californians - write your state Senator and Assembly member and tell them how you feel about this! Tell them to allow us to vote on the Election Rigging Response Act in a special election. If you don't know who yours is: findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

Revisiting NY Times opinion page from about a week BEFORE 2024 election. Not even a year in & trump has made progress on every single item here. There could not have been more explicit warnings, including Project 2025! Still angry at majority of white voters who chose this.

This is just one month! All of these things are just like the other…that the name of that song. Not a drag queen in the bunch.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case. Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real. If you’re wondering how little they value Black lives—look no further.

Can everyone share this?

This piece is so good and on point. Thx @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/please-shout...

From my dad. "It looks like I'm going to lose my prescription drug coverage and have to start paying a medicare premium. My diabetes drug lists for $1000/month. With the premium and benefits cut from my Medicare another five hundred a month besides the thousand. Kicks in right after the midterms"

I know these are rough times, but I am going to remind everyone: The only way they win in the end is if we quit.

There were 28 nationwide injunctions against Biden, and the Supreme Court didn't have an issue with any of them. I wonder what changed.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent hits the target. She is reminding us of the stakes in this case. And she is spot on. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.

almost ten years ago. what a different world this would be if people had listened instead of mocking her.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Finally made it to Ballhalla to see @gsvalkyries.bsky.social! Great game against NY Liberty. Full house & LOUD! Valkyries lost, but close game. Fun night!

"Rewarding Emil Bove with a judgeship would be an affront to the rule of law," writes former U.S. attorney Harry Litman.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

House Republicans are trying to gut the Government Accountability Office—the nonpartisan agency that’s spent decades exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. GAO has worked with Congress for years to make government more efficient and accountable. (1/2)

I believe this should be shared extensively... Have a great weekend! ☀️🙏🦋🌸 #Cali

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional… Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Windy & beautiful day in San Francisco!

I'm horrified, but not surprised by murder of MN Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband, Mark & the shooting of Sen Hoffman. trump is well versed in stochastic terrorism. He know what his followers are capable of. Pardoning insurrectionists gave green light for more violence.

LFG!

More true now than when I first wrote these words…

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

@schumer.senate.gov SHUT DOWN THE SENATE. This moment deserves nothing less.

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

So I just got off a call with Senator Warren @warren.senate.gov and her team about the MAGA Murder Bill (aka the Big Beautiful Bill) and whew did I learn some things I didn't know before: Did you know the bill cuts $300 BILLION from the ACA? Meaning that if you're on the ACA, your subsidy will

LA protesters are getting violent and causing damage! Oh wait...

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Start paying attention to what Black voices are telling you. Too many of you haven't. Too many still won't. But we told you we'd be exactly where we are and why. I for one am not signing up to be dictated to by white dudebros who've risked nothing in life.

CONFIRMED: The budget bill includes a $3.8 trillion deficit increase, $698 billion less for Medicaid, and $267 billion less for SNAP.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

Beautiful breezy day at the coast. ☀️🌊
