California stepping up.
Yes! Offense!
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
Protest pressure works - the "No Kings" movement a couple of months ago was massive... not seeing that focus now. We need this every month - laser focused. "No Kings, No Dictators" "Save our democracy, save our constitution" "Get rid of Trump" No splintered messaging - stay on target.
This is tech developing ahead of our ethics around it. I love using AI for certain projects. And ... choose wisely. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Must see - take a minute, watch this, pass along.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
You go Charlie!!
NEW: Dozens of staff members and leaders at the CDC staged a walkout today in response to the internal shake-up of top federal health officials.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
California has become the 4th largest economy in the world not despite our immigrant population—but because of it.
Donald Trump didn’t write “The Art of the Deal” (he probably didn’t even read it) and he sure as hell isn’t writing any of these executive orders. He’s just The Heritage Foundation’s useful idiot.
"In the days since his latest meeting with Putin, this time in Alaska on August 15, Trump has again been spewing Russian propaganda, including against the United States. The collusion was real. And it never stopped." New from @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-trum...
We stand with Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker and every other American willing to stand up to fascism and take back our country.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
And I'm proud to be part of them.
📌This is what a hero looks like. This is Dr. Susan Monarez, who just announced she WILL NOT resign her post as C.D.C. Director underneath the anti-vax monster, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She is standing up for the health and well-being of hundreds of millions of Americans, and we MUST stand up for her.

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
This hits right on time… My wife and I had the great privilege of visiting the African-American Museum in DC, and let me just tell you if you have not been…It is a masterpiece—go.
If the Democrats fuck this up, it's over.
Absolutely. Kidnapping is kidnapping. Or political terrorism. 🤔. Whatever, it's all bad.
The only ones that reject and disappear history are the ones that want to repeat it.
Always been a girls’ girl…💕
Remember, GOP: we didn't start this gerrymandering fight, but we're sure as hell gonna finish it.

BREAKING: California Supreme Court rejects GOP effort to halt Gavin Newsom’s redistricting push
What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
Have the response ready to go IF need to. Don't wait to plan and get screwed. If a red state holds out until Sept 2026 before approving maps they've had for a year and you had nothing in place to respond...
Hey Netflix, now might be a good time to add Roots (1977 miniseries) to the livestream library. A dose of Kunta Kinte is what America needs right now. #history #remember #museum
Make him eat them.
One word - Idiot. No, two - creepy idiot.
"Massachusetts has collected about $1.8 billion from a voter-approved surtax on the state's highest earners through the first nine months of the fiscal year." It's going to be used for education and transportation. See? Equitable taxation benefits everyone. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...
These pigs (no pun intended) give good, decent law enforcement and bad rap. How do we clear them out when they so often cover do each other?
NEWS: DNC Chair Ken Martin says TX State Rep. Nicole Collier was threatened with a FELONY charge for speaking on a press call with him, Cory Booker, and Gavin Newsom.
Yes and ... I like Presidents who knows enough history to know the difference. 🤦
Again, a lot of money doesn't equal good taste.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Thank you for the reference. I had no idea - not made public until I was out of college. Everyone should look this up - it explains so much about how and why Putin is doing what he is doing to the Ukranians. The USSR he grew up in had a brutal history, one that he believes in.
All you had to do was listen to her.
SUSIE WILES: "After the last Oval Office ambush, Zelensky is bringing friends." DONALD TRUMP: "Well, then I'll bring friends." SUSIE WILES: "You'd have to have some first."

OK, I missed an important one under Must Have - return their people!
Bill Clinton proves Marco Rubio is lying, right here, clear as day: WE forced Ukraine to give up their nukes, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers: WE promised to protect Ukraine from Russia; WE made Ukraine vulnerable. So yeah, THIS IS OUR WAR.
Huh. No women on the list.
Right!?! I don't hear any women advocating for this nonsense.
I will never ever understand.
Europe’s leaders are flying in to DC tomorrow to make sure Ukraine doesn't get rolled by the crook in the White House. Trump’s staff is still trying to figure out if Finland is a person or a place.
Notice the majority are in the south
Looks like a Union Hall meeting place.What Say You,Chump......

Stephen Miller just accused Ca Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass of “CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY." Mental. The people in charge of America are not well.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
D.C. TODAY…
Honestly!
We don't need wait until Monday. Easy to guess. Must have: 1. Ceasefire 2. Get Putin out of Ukraine 3. Give back our land Nice to have: 4. Protect us 5. Respect us 6. Support our recovery Wish list: 7. Don't let it happen again - to anyone 8. Put Putin in jail for war crimes What did I miss?
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Kinda says it all.
So, I wonder how women out there agree that 14 years should should be the minimum age for adult men to be allowed to have sex with a female child? Just because they can physically, doesn't mean they should. Dark ages ....

Britain’s top military officer has called for NATO to confront Russia across every front, warning that deterrence depends on showing strength in all areas of competition, from nuclear forces to economic pressure. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-dema...
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
Chris Murphy: "The meeting was a disaster, it was an embarrassment for the United States ... Putin walks away with a photo op, with zero commitments made, and zero consequences. What a great day for Russia."
Evacuees at a shelter in eastern Ukraine reacted angrily to talk that land that has long been theirs could be given to Russia in exchange for peace.
We’re not distracted and it’s not going away.
