California, and the country, cannot wait for the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required.

If you weren't outraged by attempts to rip up the sea floor in America Samoa yet -- you should be after reading the disdain Impossible Metals holds towards the local people. This is pretty shocking and explains why the oppositionis growing -- total lack of respect.

Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience.
We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

This video testimonial of farm workers who witnessed last Friday's Camarillo CA brutal and chaotic raid, is a difficult to watch. However, the horrifying story helps explain why workers of all legal status were so terrorized. #iceraids

Hey, so I am semi-retired from disability advocacy, but in light of what happened today, I want to talk about what it actually means to support disabled people.
Lots of people thought that, until today, when you become disabled, there is a safety net waiting.
That has never been true.
