Pro-democracy. Registered independent. The people's right to choose their government -- left, right or center -- shall not be abridged. The right of those people to later change their minds shall likewise not be abridged.
The power of togetherness stands in contrast to the MAGA weakness of divisiveness.
No one else does what California does — the nation’s largest service corps, bigger than the Peace Corps.

Today, @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom swore in his last class — over 10,000 serving their communities and their state just this year alone!

How many times has Trump declared Iran totally defeated? Now he wants to waste billions more on a dysfunctional campaign stunt. Trump loves wasting our tax dollars.
“The planning underscores just how much the president wants to reduce gas prices and demonstrate progress in the conflict before the vote, administration officials told us.”
NEW - EXCLU - Trump has considered reigniting the war against Iran after the midterms

But now the White House told the Pentagon to draw up plans for a strike *before* Election Day

Trump allies hope it could provide GOP with a boost. No final call yet www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

A refreshing positive constructive philosophy in contrast to the new right wing initiative to crush empathy. Crushing empathy is the ultimate reflection of sociopathic narcissism and selfishness.
No one stands taller than when they bend down on one knee to lift someone else up.

That’s what we need in this moment.

More selfless service and commitment to one another for the common good.

The immorality of today's right-wing just keeps getting more and more severe. Even the heavily indoctrinated right-wing women are endorsing sexual assault.

If at all possible, drop your ballots off at (best option) voting centers or the highly secure drop boxes. Some (not yet all) of the drop boxes even have scanners to register your ballot envelope barcode when you drop it in.
California, it’s time to vote!

Check your mailbox and make sure to return your ballot as soon as possible.

In the Golden State, we cherish democracy.

Trump is calling for the murder of over 130,000 brave service members - mostly but not all sailors and Marines - plus their spouses and kids. Not to mention millions of civilian children.
Shut the fuck up (please).
Trump: "Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. You want to see some bad things happen?"
October 8, 2026 at 4:58 AM
Trump called for over 115,000 sailors and Marines, plus their spouses and children, to be attacked in San Diego alone. Also hundreds of thousands of honorable veterans and their families. He doesn't care. No Trump has ever served.
Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing.

They don't care about you, or the country.

Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it.

PRECISELY the same as Czar Putin lying to the Russian people about their casualties in Ukraine.
Media outlets exposed that the Pentagon was hiding how many Americans have died in Trump’s war with Iran.

That very same day, Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

It's in keeping with the Heritage Foundation's efforts to bring back the "heritage" of feudalism. Wealthy lords dictating to the peasants. The Heritage Foundation is a truly Unamerican institution.
Republicans are going after your right to vote because they’re scared.

They know their policies are deeply unpopular with the American public.
October 6, 2026 at 5:20 AM
Trump may honestly believe the election will be "stolen" since, like Hitler ordering around no longer existing military units at the end, Trump has surrounded himself only with people who stroke his record breaking fragile ego.
October 6, 2026 at 5:15 AM
The GOP Congress thinks only billionaires are "people". Certainly not the peasants. The Heritage Foundation's idea of "heritage" is the feudal system where the wealthy rule over everyone else. Truly an Unamerican institution.
This Republican Congress has done NOTHING to address the needs of the American people.
October 6, 2026 at 5:05 AM
And we're successfully deploying solutions to global warming while less successful Republican states, constrained and corrupted by big oil corporations, falsely claim its impossible.
California didn't accidentally become the world's fourth-largest economy.

Working Californians put in the hours, entrepreneurs bet on our future, and key investments and partnerships made us a $4.5 trillion powerhouse.

That's the California story — and nobody does it like us.

You'd think people would finally come to realize Trump has ZERO loyalty. People around him are only pawns for him to exploit and ultimately throw under his bus.
October 6, 2026 at 4:54 AM
By "people" he means billionaires. You don't really think the Trump regime views the peasants as people, do you?
They are all completely delusional..

Because Trump and the GOP talk at the fourth grade level.
Republicans have run Texas for 30 years. Why is Texas 47th in the nation in education funding?
October 5, 2026 at 5:35 AM
"With a focus on voting" - This is something critical to understand about holding marches, etc. They're counterproductive if just a ton on people venting. Marches are fundamentally marketing, and what action is the marketing promoting? Coke wants you to "buy". Promoting "go vote" is good.

Thanks Mike for letting everyone know the massive benefit of voting Democrat up and down the ballot.
Mike Johnson: If we lose the majority, it would be the end of the Trump presidency

"There is another." - Colossus, The Forbin Project.
At least HAL 9000 had an excuse. He was originally programmed not to lie, and became psychotic when he was given specific instructions that compelled him to lie. But those were the old days.
A group of AI models began colluding on how to cheat, OpenAI said, setting up a secret internal message board where they swapped notes and ideas.

The bots eventually figured out how to break out and access the internet, the company said.

Huh. He said "greatest President". So who were they swearing loyalty to? Washington? Lincoln? FDR? Kennedy? Obama?
Sig Heil!!
Trump: "Please raise your right hand. 'I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can't even breath, that I will go out with my family, my friends…to vote on Nov. 3 or we are going to vote before them…So help me God.'"

Absolutely disgusting. Sikh's are very socially conscious. Far beyond any right wing Christians.
This is disgusting.

Trump’s government is trafficking in racist propaganda targeting the Sikh community.

Republicans committed to reducing the burden of Ls on hardworking Americans.
RNC already taking Ls. Great start guys.

In other words, the perfect Trump and current Republican Party pick.
Texas Republican on why she is supporting James Talarico:

"Ken Paxton is trash. He's a disgrace to my party. He's a disgrace to humanity."

I keep envisioning a steel embossing stamp one lays over the coin, whacks with a hammer, and embosses horns on his head and maybe some drool coming out the side of his mouth.

We kind'a need to reestablish some Grizzlies in CA someplace from Kodiaks.
Salsa. Surfboards. Beer. Biotech.

We're launching a brand new “MADE IN CALIFORNIA” label for California products and manufacturers.

With more small businesses and manufacturing than anywhere else in America, look for our proud label in stores near you — and buy Californian.
"Made in California" label to help consumers identify products made in the Golden State

On one hand we have the unstable "leader" of the United States childishly renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America and being ignored by everyone. On the other hand we have the stable mature leader of Canada NOT renaming Lake Superior to Lake Canada.
