Now here is some fascism that requires attention.
Journalist @ariberman.bsky.social says the FBI raid on election offices in Georgia is part of a "concerted effort" by the Trump administration to interfere in this year's midterms.

A suggestion has been made that liberal Californians need to protect polling places on Election Day from ICE. Hear us out — sign up for Vote By Mail. It’s trackable and ballots placed in secure boxes around the county or mailed for free. Stop listening to white liberals who make up problems.

While we’re at it, Lori Mills’ Republican Party is a trip too. Koslow again.Nordblum again. Lichtl after his Charlie Kirk stunt and Pieface lap dances? Goddamn. She is really showing John Andersen.

Now some will say Simi/Moorpark, too red. If we are talking electability, then walk away from Gorell’s seat. The local Dems have no strategy to address the issue of firefighter $ b/c there is no way they will allow Claudia Bill de La Peña’s (losing BTW) campaign mgr Ashley Orozco to win.
Local Dems poured money and time into losing Kelly Long’s seat two years ago. Yet this election, they are showing little interest in a strong candidate in Moorpark. Maybe it’s time to re-think who is running the local Dem clubs and party.

We struggle to understand how Sevet Johnson was picked for EO of Ventura County. Overseeing mental health services, absolutely. But EO?

This rests upon Sevet Johnson and Kelly Long. Johnson is the one behind so many HR lawsuits while Long refuses to meet with voters with whom she disagrees. Jeff Gorell ended pediatric care at Los Robles. At least Mark Perryman who is challenging Gorell, has ideas.

LAPD must be ended. Keep showing up as you are able.

SoCal, stay frosty toward ICE. Phone it in when you believe you see them.

Jeff Gorell bragged at the dais this week that he was responsible for reviewing LAPD’s excessive force (EF) cases til he was elected to BoS. Since ‘19, the city of LA has paid $20M+ in EF settlements. Yet, the only thing mainstream media is talking about is his $100K+ BoS re-election war chest.

But Joe Biden was a bad man in many eyes because he wanted to erase student loans.
UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??”

Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔

Rights are gone under this regime.

Conservative hack Becca Whitnall and her colleagues penned an editorial that while failing in its purpose as written, gnaws at our collective belief that time and place do matter when it comes to effecting action. (No, we do not support TPM, CSULB!)
