Medical groups and US states work to circumvent Kennedy's vaccine decisions U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s changes to federal vaccine policy are prompting medical organizations and several states to formulate their own vaccine recommendations for the fall respiratory illness season, concerned many healthy children and pregnant women could lose access to preventive shots.

They are forcing us to secede. California will be the richest of the former United States. Funny how The Federalist Society is the most anti-federalism group ever.

44% of Californians would rather secede from the Union, full stop. It's not quite the majority opinion statewide, but it probably *is* in his district.

Honestly, it probably wouldn't be so uphill if their initiative included the possibility of greater autonomy within the U.S.

71% of Californians said we'd be better off with special autonomous status within the U.S., according to our poll, above.

About 2/3 want a state autonomy commission.

The article quotes our January poll, but not the latest one, in June: ic.institute/poll.

We found that a secession ballot measure would face a steep uphill climb (44% yes, 54% no), but that Californians are broadly in favor of a number of policies that LOOK an awful lot like secession.

Meet the Fraudster Who Wants to Make California Its Own Country The man behind the Calexit movement claims to be a baller. But he's broke.

Sounds like @calexitnoworg.bsky.social collected 25,000 signatures, not the 200,000 the campaign claimed. At least, according to Marcus Ruiz Evans:

Texas v.

In many ways, California sece...

It's legal and can be accomplished through an ordinary law. That's all we're saying. (See ic.institute/texas-v-what.)

You think it's impossible politically. I think U.S. politics has no real guardrails, and that the U.S. is not a rational, unified entity that acts in its own best interest.

Lest you get the impression Californians don't want independence just because 54% of them wouldn't vote for a secession referendum, here are 13 things Californians want to do and can do without the federal government's permission:

Interesting take on our poll results, from a columnist laser-focused on #calexit.

How can California stop ICE overreach? The answer might lie in a 1972 case from Humboldt County OPINION: Might the answer to Los Angeles’ present emergency — how to stop masked federal agents from seizing its people — lie in a half-century-old story from Humboldt County?

California really can #ArrestICE under certain conditions, and those conditions seem to have been met. This Humboldt County court case is the key.

@democracylocal.bsky.social

Hi, I’m a in the leadership for a political party ( @votecnp.bsky.social ) that is calling for CA independence.

The @ic.institute runs YouGov polls to find out the sentiments around CA secession.

The poll they ran last month shows 45% support peaceful secession.

.@governor.ca.gov Just wanted you to know that there's a trend in our neighborhood to fly the California Republic flag, instead of the US flag.

ICE grabbed this U.S. citizen army veteran & held him for 3 days for no reason whatsoever other than he’s Latino. We must put an end to this racist police state.

This is my personal favorite West Coast Secession graphic with arbitrary assumptions.

Why cut off the northeast corner of Nevada? Too many Basque restaurants? We may never know.

Your graphic is cool, but it's pretty hypocritical to belittle similar graphics made by other people. 🤷

It's not just you. According to a YouGov poll we commissioned, 80% of Californians want to control our borders with other states “like a country.”

80% of Californians already want to control our borders with other states “like a country.” See ic.institute/poll.

The 2 party system fails us.

Democrats won’t change the fact that California is *severely* underrepresented in DC.

• Gun control
• Healthcare
• Affordable housing
• New Green Deal

All have overwhelming support in CA but are stopped in DC.

We need systemic reform. Beginning with CA independence.
