Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what?

I’m running for California State Assembly!

Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

So we're paying for the federal government to harass our neighbors and then paying for a legal aid fund.

Resources that could go to serving the community are now being used to shield ourselves from the state.

Voice of OC @voiceofoc.bsky.social · Sep 9

Taxpayer dollars are increasingly being allocated towards protecting immigrants from the federal immigration enforcement crackdown through the legal system.

BDS victory! The Scottish Parliament becomes the first in the world to endorse BDS against genocidal Israel.

BDS calls for escalated civil society pressure on all states to impose legal and targeted sanctions against apartheid Israel similar to those that helped abolish apartheid in South Africa.

The Spanish government announces sanctions, including a #MilitaryEmbargo, against genocidal Israel.

The tide is turning. BDS is a legal obligation, not just a moral one. Sanction Israel now.

Together, let’s end this!
