As a psychologist, I cannot accept the insanity and malevolent stupidity that has consumed this country. Madness reigns when those who see injustice choose to do nothing. My children deserve a future; that only happens if we stand together to protect the existence of this country as we know it.

I guess the plan to have Mike Johnson lie in shutdown press conferences every day for 3 weeks didn’t work out.

Republicans rig maps, Democrats fight back.
California’s new maps cut straight into GOP districts—and voters get the final say this November.
That’s the difference. Republicans cheat. Democrats put it to the people. The only way we survive is to fight fire with 🔥

Coming to a town near you.
I can speak from my family’s own experience.
Medicaid Cuts, Trump’s horrific ICE raids, and increases in the cost of maintaining a child care center are making child care extremely expensive if not impossible for most families to afford, and harder to find providers.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.
He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Former White House Chief of Staff to President Biden, Ronald Klain. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s why more and more people like Ron are standing up and stating the obvious. They know how close to the end of democracy…and freedom…we are.
