Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers. They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

Just imagine if as much rage were as directed at the Republicans for what the Republicans are doing as there is at the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing.

I just wanna point out that it wouldn’t be hysterical or dramatic or a stretch or biased in any way for major news orgs to state plainly that a president who immediately blames all of the country’s ills, including a random plane crash, on “diversity” is a white supremacist

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)

Folks, let’s give President @JoeBiden his flowers. He’s been one of the most accomplished presidents I’ve seen in my lifetime. ✅ Created over 16 million jobs ✅ Lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 years ✅ Brought manufacturing back to America through the CHIPS and Science Act

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.

My Congressman is pulling no punches about Republicans trying to withhold aid to California. We’re the economic engine of the United States. If we falter, so does the rest of the country. #CA46

California massively subsidizes other states with our tax dollars. We do so because we are one country. For Republicans to now single California out with unprecedented conditions on disaster aid — as Los Angeles burns — is deeply despicable.

In my time in Congress, I've never considered disaster relief based on how a state voted. When people need help, we get them help. Period. That cannot and should not change.

As dangerous winds are expected to pick up, we’re prepositioning hundreds of firefighting personnel and equipment across SoCal. This includes deploying 300+ additional firefighters, adding to the 15,000+ already on the ground in LA.

The news is saying over the next 48 hours, our winds are going to kick back up to 70mph gusts. Those gusts are too strong and will end up grounding the planes and helicopters that are so effective at dropping water and retardant. Please pray for Los Angeles and all the brave firefighters.

It's disgusting that the Governor of California has to dedicate time and effort toward fighting back against Trump's egregious lies about the LA wildfires. Here's where you can get the facts. Gavin New some is not fucking around. gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

Everyone is talking about the Palisades Fire. Not nearly enough is being discussed about the victims of the Eaton Fire. It's a middle class community and a lot of people inherited their homes. They may not be able to build back and investors may sweep in and gentrify their community. It's tragic.

If your first thought isn’t “how can I help?” or “this is horrible and tragic,” but instead “how can I blame the Mayor of LA and the Governor of CA?” Congratulations, you’re awful.

As MAGA lunatics continue to stupidly blame Democratic officials in California for causing Wildfires, a reminder that 44 fascist republicans in Congress voted against funding for Forest MGMT Wildfire Prevention which lets states create barriers to stop the spread of fires.

President Biden: “The federal government will pay for 100% of costs for several LA wildfire relief efforts for 180 days… things like debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters, first responders' salaries, all necessary measures…”

No one blaming Governor Newsom or Mayor Bass should be taken seriously. The Santa Ana winds basically turned Los Angeles and the surrounding area into a goddamn fire hurricane that was sucking up & ejecting embers at winds up to 90-100 mph. NO ONE & NOTHING could have stopped this.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually increased by $50 million.
