California is at a Crossroads - DIVESTMENT NOW!

A way to weaken the Duopoly is to have good people not be Repuglicans but also not be getting mixed up by Democrats.

A new governor for California might make a lot of things go better, please consider Bruce Ware for Governor:

State Rep. Senfronia Thompson (D-Houston) took the stand.

She said state Rep. Todd Hunter (R-Corpus Christi), the author of the redistricting bill, had knowledge that the new map will harm multiple minority communities in Houston.

What color is Progressive? I've ruled out red. Green seems agreeable. Blue claims it, but not reliably!

REMINDER. I have transitioned all Tess's books to digital format. There are still physical copies available for some. We will likely be losing our apartment soon so if you missed out on any of her self published stuff now is your chance. And it helps us stay safe and housed. Love to you all! -Chris

It really does get old, seeing government officials use every single tragedy they can to attack their political opponents.

Americans want affordable lives and the ability to work hard and get ahead.

Itโ€™s really that simple.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Roย Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference โ€” joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse โ€” to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, theย Epstein Files Transparency Act.

This was a demonstration that Israel has not been a legitimate member of world governments. The whole world ๐ŸŒŽ needs to recognize that and quit enabling Israel to be a Playground Bully.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him โ€œsimply untethered to facts,โ€ our White House press corps can as well.

This isnโ€™t how any of this works.

Nothing makes fascists look legit. You never have to hand it to them or their hate-filled, inhumane ideology.

We stand up for the rights of immigrants & refugees because ALL people deserve dignity & justice.

We know the data. We know that the majority of economic analyses agree that we can absolutely afford Medicare for All.

Just so that Rep Flood sees it, weโ€™ve linked some of our reports below. Feel free to share.
