I live in a very conservative area of CA. My 14 y/o asked for a pink shirt. He's openly gay, sarcastic, and outspoken. Today, he is wearing it. For the first time, I am afraid to drop him off at school. I no longer worry so much about bullies' cruel words—today, I fear for his physical safety.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

On this day in 1942, Executive Order 9066 authorized the internment of thousands of loyal Japanese American citizens. This act was a betrayal of our most sacred values as a nation. California stands for our fellow Americans, regardless of national origin or immigration status.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Napoleon: Speed, surprise, propaganda, crushing opposition. Trump: Same playbook; rapid-fire rallies, media blitzes, loyalty tests, legal battles. Both bet on bending the rules to stay on top. One met Waterloo, the other? Stay tuned. Tired of the Hitler comparisons, so now he wants to be Napoleon.
