Another afternoon getting some vitamin D and hanging out with other overpass patriots. Trolling our congressman who vote for policies that hurt our communities. They both get millions in ag subsidies too.

Day 1 of Hands-Off Venezuela (and Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, etc) in front of our GOP Rep Valadao’s Office in Hanford CA (Central Valley- Kings County)

A beautiful Central Valley Morning in Hanford CA. “Honk, Honk for Change” and “Resolve to Resist”. @visibilitybrigade @democrats_of_kings_county

I was out in Corcoran CA last night for their Christmas Tree Night with candidate for Congress Randy Villegas. I will be working hard in 2026 so he is our next Congressman in CD-22. Valadao must go! @villegas4congress.bsky.social

Today’s Kings County Bridge Brigade. We had hundreds of supportive honks. More & More each week. Merry Resist-mas.

It was worth the four hour drive to LA to listen to @maddow.bsky.social and 2 sets of panelists connecting her new podcast Burn Order about Japanese Imprisonment to current ICE raids, desire to end birthright citizenship and more. My dad loved Rachel and I was thinking of him all day today.

Kings County Bridge Brigadewas out in the wet fog and cold for our regular Friday brigade. Today was in Lemoore. Lots of positive energy from traffic over and under the bridge.

Happy Sunday California! You got to sleep an extra hour now Go Vote. In Kings County, Voting Centers are open 9am to 5pm in Hanford, Corcoran, Lemoore and Avenal. There are also ballot boxes too.

Getting Out The Vote in Kings County this Halloween morning. Only 24% of Kings County voters have returned ballots. Voting Centers open tomorrow! Link below is for Kings County Voting Centers and Drop Boxes. Yes on Prop 50! www.countyofkingsca.gov/departments/...

@maddow.msnbc.com No protest footage from The Central Valley! Visalia, Hanford, Porterville, Fresno, Modesto, Merced, etc. here was Hanford in Kings. County. 400 is awesome for our red county. We had coal rolled on us.

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

If you kidnap and disappear a 4-year-old with stage 4 cancer, you should at a minimum spend the rest of your life behind bars. If you do it as part of an ethnic cleansing program, you should do your hard time at the Hague.

This is Day 15. Still 0 deals.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

It wasn’t so bad when the smart woke people were running shit now was it

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

#HandsOff #KingsCountyCA #Hanford

Little red Kings County CA had about 150 concerned residents out today since Rep Valadao CD22 and Rep Fong CD 20 won’t talk to us or try to do what is right in Congress. So proud of many who protested for the first time.

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. 10:30-12:30 on sidewalk on Lacey in front of the Gov’t Center. app.sosha.ai/s/iItlP6zY

If you a Democrat around Kings and Tulare Counties, please join us to raise funds to flip CD 22 Valadao and CD 20 Fong.

I just saw this on @maddow.msnbc.com and got teary with pride. I wish reps would hold more town halls. My GOP rep David Valadao has not and I ask most days.

@maddow.msnbc.com I get emotional when I get happy or full of pride in friends and loved ones. I got that way today when you showed the clip at Rep Tonko’s Town Hall. I had not seen that yet. Thank you for showing it.

Migrants are being deported to countries they aren't from. Families swept up in raids and children denied lawyers. Immigrants with no criminal convictions sent to Guantanamo Bay. Trump's anti-immigrant agenda of chaos and cruelty is on full display.

Donald Trump firing ~7000 IRS workers will mean three things: 1) More tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations 2) More debt, since IRS agents collect a lot more than they cost 3) Fewer ways to go after big tax cheats A great day to be a billionaire in America.

California: Kings, Tulare, Kern and Fresno Counties- Let your Congressman know what you think on all these Project 2025 implementations that is hurting our communities. Numbers below:

California: Kings, Tulare, Kern and Fresno Counties- start calling our Senators!

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts and winning. @democracydocket.com's 17-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Fascism is like being in the coils of a boa constrictor. Every inch you give, you never get back. Fight. Fight. Fight.

It is time, and I am so exhausted saying this, that a lot of white folk acknowledge that the majority of your skinfolk embrace everything you stand against. It was never the messaging. They weren’t confused. They weren’t coerced. They weren’t fooled. They wanted wrath.

Has Trump lowered the price of groceries? No. Instead, he's focused on renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Today, my colleagues and I gave him a list of things he could do right now to start to lower the prices of eggs.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Prep for ICE raids: even though it may say “Police” on their uniforms, Immigration and Customs Enforcement are not police officers, and ICE “warrants” are not reviewed by a judge, and therefore do not meet the 4th Amendment requirements for entry into a home or place of business.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people. It was literally the Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire

The Republican scheme to place right-wing conditions on disaster assistance to California wildfire victims is unacceptable. It’s not happening.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. We’d never condition it."

We know Donald Trump will betray his promise to working people. He’s done it before and he’ll do it again. Democrats are the ones fighting for working people against the billionaires trying to rig this country. It’s our job to make sure voters hear this message everywhere.

I wish that I had a vote within CADEMS to support Ben.

Nope. Wrong. Newsom is doing what all Democrats need to do in this new era where right-wing oligarchs, politicians and influencers hit you with a steady barrage of lies. This is part of the job now for elected officials. You know it works because of how much they whine about it.

I donated to California Teachers Assn Disaster Relief Fund, World Central Kitchen, and The Cal Fire Foundation to try to help SoCal Fire Victims. Others are The Red Cross and The Salvation Army. I hope others will give to help as well to help fellow Californians.
