Veteran voices are needed now more than ever in California, necesitamos tu voz.

On the ballot: Proposition 50, the “Election Rigging Response Act.” #Prop50 protects fair representation and defends our democracy against this administration’s attempts at election rigging.

The Trump administration's sweeping Education Department layoffs have cast doubt on a pair of decades-old promises from Congress: ensuring disabled students receive a free and appropriate education and protecting all pupils from discrimination in schools. nyti.ms/4n4yFKq

White House Guts Education Department With More Layoffs

About a fifth of the agency’s remaining staff was affected, including employees working on special education, funding for low-income students and civil rights enforcement.

These maps expire in 2030. Prop 50 preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census. #YesOnProp50

There's always a risk if you invoke Hitler or Mussolini when talking U.S. politics that people will roll their eyes or dismiss you as being over the top. But in the case of Trump, you ignore the comparison at your peril. My article on what Trump is up to: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

Trump is now working to secure one party rule--just like Mussolini and Hitler did

History is screaming at us!

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.
