Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speakβ€”if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizensβ€”but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

Can governors legally call up their own state's national guard to protect polling places on election day?

They need to keep ICE and the Feds far away from people voting.

Don’t know who else needs to hear this but it would be good to have a strong showing of American Flags at the rallies on Saturday to combat the GOP talking points that it’s a β€œhate America” rally!!

Please repost and pass this on to as many as possible!!

❗ This article is fascinating, and if accurate, which it appears to be, explains so much about current trade and tariff issues between the US and China, but more importantly how totally screwed the US is in the future and the control China has.

Please take the time to read.

Why China Can Collapse the U.S. With One Decree China holds a virtual monopoly over a product needed to produce the only thing holding up our economy right now. And it’s preparing to use that leverage.

From me: China's threat to restrict rare earth minerals exports shows who really holds the cards in the trade war. We invented rare earth magnets and gave the production away; decades of bad ideas handed another country the ability to determine our economic future.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❀️

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

California EV sales hit 29.1% in Q3.

Nearly every Californian is living within 10 minutes of an EV fast charger.

There are now over 200,000 publicly accessible EV charging stations statewide.

Expiring credits juiced sales, but driving EV in CA is easy.
