No matter the challenge, Californians continue to meet the moment with resilience, resolve, and results.
While others doubted democracy’s ability to deliver, California proved what’s possible.

Even in the face of Trump-era roadblocks, @uofcalifornia.bsky.social continues to thrive. More than 301,000 students attended one of UC’s 10 campuses over the fall, the largest enrollment number in its history.
California shows once again: nothing can stop our universities from leading the way!

The killing of an unarmed woman by ICE in Minneapolis is a horrific betrayal of American values.
The Trump administration has once again taken a life through unnecessary lethal force—and is already lying about what happened.
We need a full investigation. These attacks on our communities must stop.

Today marks one year since the devastating firestorms tore through SoCal.
We remember the lives lost, honor the communities forever changed, and stand with everyone rebuilding and healing. The Trump Administration needs to approve the federal disaster funding Californians need to fully recover.

California’s coast is NOT for sale. Across party lines, Californians are united in saying NO to offshore drilling and its devastating impacts on our coast.
This fight is just beginning. Trump’s attempt to sell our coastline to oil companies will not stand.
