Gov. Newsom today signed CA’s landmark bills: AB-715 & SB-48! CA will confront hate in all its forms!

"..when antisemitism & bigotry are rising nationwide & globally, these laws make clear: our schools must be places of learning, not hate"

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Hamas only wish is to annihilate Jews. They don’t want a country, they don’t want peace, they keep claiming “genocide” but they don’t want it to stop. Make that make sense
The hostages have been tortured for two years.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

Didn't say "that"🤦🏽‍♀️

McGrath defeated the more "progressive" challenger in the 2020 primary election. This created division amongst dems & revealed vulnerabilities that McConnell took advantage of & later exploited.

But go on w your passive aggressive messaging that helps Repubs.

Hope that helps..

You are my hero!

You see the peril in our country.

You know democracy is in danger.

You post about it daily.

The good news is that YOU can save us, and volunteering for elections is the most effective use of your time—far more effective than posting.

And Prop 50 is the most important race rn. 🧵

So volunteer to knock on doors or make calls for a campaign today.

Here's an example call in Spanish from Hortensia who made calls with me yesterday.

Go to stopelectionrigging.com
You can volunteer from any state to save democracy.

We need you!
Don't wanna volunteer?
Then donate.

Even $3 helps.

Wrong.

McGrath won populous urban areas like Louisville & Lexington while McConnell's victory overwhelmingly came from conservative support in KY's rural regions, which are NOT populist OR progressive.

Stop your divisiveness: McGrath knows Kentucky well, she's perfect for this challenging race.

Our democracy is under siege, and cowards in Washington are bowing to Donald Trump. Kentuckians deserve a leader who’s battle-tested and ready to fight from day one. I’ve done it as a Marine and for Kentucky. I’m ready to complete the mission. Join me.

ICYMI— I’m Running for Senate

I’ve spent my life stepping up when the mission was tough and the stakes were high, and that’s why I’m stepping up again.

Our democracy is under attack, and we deserve a senator who won’t bow to Donald Trump or Washington insiders.

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act

Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

Today I did something incredibly empowering, SUPER fun...thrilling actually.

It was 100% free & made me feel like a hero. I did it right from my computer & maintained total privacy.

You can do it, too!

I called voters & convinced 11 people who knew nothing or were confused to vote YES ON PROP 50.

In both his first & second terms, Trump's administration made a historically high number of requests to SCOTUS for rulings via the "shadow docket".

Shadow docket: is a SCOTUS emergency & expedited orders which are issued with minimal public deliberation, limited explanation, & no oral arguments.
