Gavin Newsom has ended 186 wars, including 36 wars that haven’t even started yet. He was offered the Nobel Peace Prize but he turned it down because the job isn’t finished yet. 😂

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said: “I have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.” Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
Republican politicians promised to lower costs. Still waiting. All we see are tariffs doing the exact opposite.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
"ICE" does not exist in any way that resembles what it was in its former life. This warrantless....non-identification bullshit...is the extension of the most evil, lawless...heartless son of a bitch in the United States of America.
94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.
There is absolutely no reason to give a small child a screen. At all. Give them paper and crayons, paint brushes and tempura, chalk and a sidewalk. Read them books and sing them songs and teach them to build houses for the fairies out of sticks and rocks and leaves and moss. Screens are poison.
🤮. We need this regime locked up now! wtf are we waiting for! This is why they put up the barricades and licked down dc, the pedophile knew this was coming!
When you’re happy and right where you’re supposed to be and everything is going great.
Trump is a traitor.
Not a lot of attention going to the fact that Trump’s DC charade is costing taxpayers millions of dollars while food prices continue to rise.
I realize this is an evergreen, but it's an embarrassing day for America.
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
My dudes, you arrested a guy who threw a Subway sandwich and was willing to turn himself in. This ain’t exactly the bin Laden raid. Did they think he was going to come at them with a grilled cheese?
NEWSOM HAS RISEN TO THE OCCASION. HE AINT PERFECT BUT HE IS IN THIS FIGHT. THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA NEEDS IT'S LARGEST BLUE STATE TO DECLARE ITSELF A FREE STATE THAT FOLLOWS AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW WHERE EVERY AMERICAN CAN RECEIVE EQUAL JUSTICE!!! GOD SAVE THE FREE STATE OF CALIFORNIA!!!!
“What makes L.A. great, what makes California great, and what makes the United States of America great—is that…we don't tolerate our diversity, we celebrate our diversity, and it's a point of pride, because we're all in this together,” Governor Newsom said.

Trump budget law will trigger over $500 billion in automatic Medicare cuts: CBO
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
In America, we don’t use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in their own democracy. Yet more than a dozen Border Patrol agents showed up Thursday in downtown LA at a rally Gov. Gavin Newsom held on congressional redistricting an event that had nothing to do with immigration.
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
There are three phases leading up to fascism. First there is authoritarianism. That’s when a leader seeks control such things as other branches of government, law firms, media, etc Next is totalitarianism. It’s when military control is added (Rest of article at MarianneWilliamson.substack.com)

With ownership comes responsibility. Each of us owns this country. The ultimate guardian of our rights has been the US Constitution. With the Constitution now under assault, our democracy is under assault, which means our freedom as Americans is under assault.
It’s more important than ever to understand your right to due process. Here’s what you should know. youtu.be/metN4EiDtmQ
I completely agree with this point.
@governor.ca.gov and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov: enforce the court orders— stand up for law and order. Serve and protect your constituents. Stop these illegal kidnappings. @mayor.lacity.gov : rein these lawless people in, please.
First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.
These goats are called “Nachi Goats” which literally means Dancing goats. They walk as if they were dancing... 😅🤣 #bluesky
"We're getting rid of the slums," says the political criminal who has bought off the super-rich with tax cuts while increasing taxes on the poor.
Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low but crime at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is at an all-time high.

A reminder to all American soldiers that they MUST DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS.
History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

I tip my hat to President Yam Tits...no President in the history of America has totally destroyed a thriving, dynamic economy in a scant 6 months like he has.
This explains the MAGA crowd.
Different era, same behavior, fear, and intimidation. In the name of racism. Just like then just like now only criminals wear mask.
ICEholes better learn about the Nuremberg Trials. "I was just doing my job" isn't going to save their asses.
GOP are pro-murder, and pro-pedophile.
You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.
Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard! We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims. 1/2
Thou shalt not use tariffs to tax working class Americans and then pretend the money is being paid by foreign countries.
Just a reminder that immigrants are good for society and the economy. https://youtu.be/LCl9-uaKzv8?feature=shared
The vicious cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers. 3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.
Trump is declaring fake "emergencies" while reducing our ability to deal with real ones.
As unemployment & inflation--stagflation--caused by tariffs start to set in, this is your reminder that tariffs are a subterfuge for regressive (sales) taxes paid by the 99% to avoid income taxes which the 1% despise more than anything. That and cuts in spending on the poorest among us
Trump sees money as political power and he wants to make sure the average American has as little of it as possible.
The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
We will defend our rights in the Supreme Court. We will stand united.

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza. Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war. Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

Because you needed a video of a Porcupine eating an apple... You're welcome #bluesky... ☺️
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.
When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq
You can’t fire yourself out of a bad economy. You can’t fudge the numbers to convince the American people that everything is ok when every day they are feeling these rising costs.
Los Angeles stood strong — and we won. You can’t just snatch people off the streets based on appearance. The court knows that, the people know that and now this administration knows that. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...

Hard to imagine anyone worthy wanting to be president. We’ve made the office a joke.
