Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

More coded language from the far right about who belongs in the US or more appropriately, who the US belongs to: Heritage Americans www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Are You a ‘Heritage American’?

Why the far right wants to know if your ancestors were here during the Civil War.

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

This is an important interview. A couple stopped and profiled by border patrol comes to a realization: who they voted for lied to them. It takes courage to admit it, and more to go public.

They Were MAGA Believers Until a Border Stop Changed Everything

George and Esmeralda Doilez made news, and a change in understanding.
