Hi! My name is Aaron McCall & I organize in California (and most often in Orange County Ca)!

I work with California Environmental Voters and our California Federal representatives to fight for clean air, clean water, public spaces, and a strong & fair democracy!

Follow along for climate action!

You didn’t read the first post. Every additional post you make is you trying to reframe what you said because you did not articulate your point clearly, or you changed your mind.

I understand you’re frustrated,& being challenged must mean I’m MAGA, but if you go back you’ll have proved my point.

The Trump administration is engaging in an unprecedented strategy to undermine elections. From rolling back the federal role in protecting the electoral process to threatening local election officials, our new interactive timeline is tracking it all: bit.ly/3IZMSdG

Timeline of the Trump Administration’s Efforts to Undermine Elections

Together, these actions form a concerted strategy to interfere with elections.

Hey maybe you’ll get to be a defence attorney for Pete hegseth!

In the meantime this entire diatribe reinforces the fact that there will be no trials because the American people are not ready to hold people accountable for these atrocities.

It will be an interesting defence to bring to a newly structured court. As they say, may god have mercy on their souls.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

If you are a true believer, you still have the ability to understand that it is a violation of the law - whether or not you choose to follow the law.

Arresting journalists, deploying to another state without request from that governor - allllll Wellll known bad moves.

They have phones, they went to training. Is this a question about their mental capacity?

How many members of congress who were a part of January 6 were removed from office and are serving time in jail?

Are any people involved in Donald trumps numerous attempts to find votes in prison?

Are people being excluded from office and positions for 2020 election denial?

Do you live here?

As much as the voters should have responsibility, at the very least admin officials and people in charge of the soldiers invading our civilian cities should have to go through a process - but I promise you they will be “too political” and we will have to “rise above”.

This entire shut down I’ve been threatening to write a book called “black women already told you this was going to happen.” But, I haven’t put pen to paper.

If there is one lesson that the left should learn, it’s when you win, you won - no one wants to have you second guessing or checking polls - you made a promise, go deliver.

We couldn’t even do January 6 trials well. We don’t have the stomach.

I do not feel like the American public has the humility or disposition to atone for the sins this administration is committing - given that we have failed at reconstruction & desegregation.

But there are too many people “just following orders” that they know are wrong, I don’t know how we move on.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Trump just said some federal employees “don’t deserve to be taken care of.” That’s not leadership, it’s cruelty.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are working or waiting without pay, and the president seems proud of it.

We need a leader who reopens government, not one who weaponizes it.

If I wrote a book about American history it would be called, “We already told you how to fix this”: a history of American crisis and the black people who gave you solutions years before it happened.

I’m very salty to learn that regenerative agriculture is mostly crop rotation.

Republicans control all three branches of government - yet they can’t pass a budget, and they can’t lower prices for food or healthcare costs.

All they have done is cancelled tv shows, tanked an economy and made tax cuts for billionaires.

This is Trump’s Shutdown, spread the word!

This shut down will be catastrophic!

Spread the word and call on trump and republicans to meet with democrats to keep us from having a health insurance spike and a government shutdown!
