While CEOs, colleges, and law firms bowed to Trump’s threats, California is standing firm. We won’t cave, and neither will you.

Senate Democrats should commit to reading every single one of the 381 books that Hegseth banned from the Naval Academy into the public record on the Senate floor.

“OMG. Check out the aerial view of Bernie and AOC’s rally size in Los Angeles, California for the “Fight the Oligarchy” tour. Absolutely massive.” —DemsMight

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

The hard truth is that there are some products you just can't make in America. These must be imported from elsewhere. Like chocolates, for example. American workers will always become overwhelmed by the speed of the conveyor belt. They'll end up shoving the sweets into their mouths and blouses

They’re destroying federal science capacity & California needs to step up & expand science capacity at the state level. I introduced SB 829 to create the California Institute for Scientific Research & authorize the State of California to produce vaccines. It just passed the Senate Health Committee.

But how do you know when your geoduck is done?

Can I sample today's hardtack?

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people. Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

After the hospitality industry's abusive-boyfriend "look what you made me do" line-item surcharge in response to LA's minimum wage hikes I better fucking see this everywhere

Forever in my heart (this Scottish goddess, not Thatcher)

May 11 - Black Mothers March to the White House - www.blackmothersmarch.com - "The Black Mothers March on the White House is a coalition of black-led organizations that have been involved in the struggle to rescue our children from the custody of the State."

“anything we can actually do, we can afford” stamp this on the head of anyone who asks how we can afford universal health care or universal child care or public pensions or free college

The Los Angeles Dodgers did not just embarrass Los Angeles & the state of California, but the entire West Coast.

We all know Kershaw is a hardcore hateful Christian so he’s definitely eating this shit up.

today i realized that Junior Soprano and Walter White have the same oncological surgeon

Bark at the Park Nark

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

not when you’re a leo

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

What shocks me, in addition to you know torture, is the vast number of like-minded people required to prop up and execute systemic dehumanization at this scale. So many truly awful people working together.

Elementary school principals going where university presidents fear to tread...

From @altnps.bsky.social The final tally for April 5th Hands Off Rallies is 5.2 Million Nationwide. To overcome this Regime, we must consistently & peacefully gather & get our numbers to 3.5% of the population. That's 11.9 Million. We got work to do! Let's Go! #MomSky www.bbc.com/future/artic...

1/5 After the #HandsOff protest in Boston, many people left their signs along the fence of the Granary, the cemetery where Paul Revere and Sam Adams are buried, as well as those killed in the Boston Massacre. I walked along and got pictures of many of the signs, though not all.

Famously liberal Antelope Valley ✊️

Philly shows up! #handsoff #rally #philadelphia

LA: 4 PM in Pershing Square downtown. See you there! www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

At my local protest the speaker was going through applause lines. After each line there was a big cheer. Then she got to "And we will do it non-violently!" Crickets. The median age of this crowd was, generously, 50 years old.
