Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

THE ENEMY? "IT SHOULD BE CLEAR FROM RECENT EVENTS THAT AMERICA'S ENEMY IS NOT THE COMMUNISTS OVER THERE, BUT THOSE DERANGED RIGHT-WING LUNATICS RIGHT HERE."- FRANK ZAPPA, 1989

Frank Zappa said this in 1989.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

And she does it every damn day! #politics #fascism

Fascism. Who knew? #politics #fascism

“No one can ever take away or erase our mark.” — Bad Bunny, during his SNL opening monologue.

Latinos have built this country, opened doors, and shaped its future. Their contributions aren’t just part of America’s story — they are America’s story.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

Broadview police are investigating.

"The enemy from within" is POTUS.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

I know I would! #activism

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

Someone in the DOJ with access to the Epstein files has a conscience and enough love for this country to leak them. Where is this generation’s Deep Throat?

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

This speaks volumes about his supporters.

Facts

Why should bystanders assume the thugs trying to drag someone away, no warrant or badges, unmarked car to haul him off, are authorized federal agents? Stop giving apparent abductions the benefit of the doubt!
