I simply can't believe this. If Governor Newsom wants my support for his other campaigns, this had better not be true. The Bay Area needs public transit more than ever. Period.

Massive Bay Area transit cuts likely as Newsom backtracks on $750M loan, lawmakers warn Bay Area lawmakers and transit advocates say Gov. Gavin Newsom’s reneging on a critical $750 million loan will have devastating consequences for BART, Muni and other agencies in the region.

Only about $1.60 of tax dollars per US citizen per year was spent on the public broadcasting budget.

If you donate $20 a year, you're covering what your tax dollars would have done. If you do a monthly donation of $7, your donation can equal the tax dollars of 54 people spent on PBS per year.

They grow our food, care for the ill, manufacture goods, and build homes.

PLEASE GIVE AS YOU ARE ABLE

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

“‘The approach is to throw as much as you can at the wall and see what sticks,’ O’Dea said. ‘There’s only so much you can mobilize opposition to. There’s a huge risk that some of these things could fly under the radar.’”

I truly believe this is where the #AltCitizen plays a role.

Keep it up— items are still there but there are fewer.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

She always expresses "concern" and then votes for whatever concerns her anyway. That's as disingenuous and lazy as could possibly be.

Thank you to the Wilderness Society for this.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

A Reminder of how dangerous Parasite Trump is.

Just this in the NYT: While President Trump appears to be offering one more off ramp to the Iranians, he also is bolstering his own military options. He is bolstering HIS OWN military options? Whatever does that imply? Who has authority for military options? Has congress authorized any of this???

Seems like basket of deplorables was actually a pretty good description.

Contact EVERY congressional member ASAP‼️

@resist.bot can help with that 🫡

When it’s gone, it’s gone. We’ll never get it back. We don’t need this money this way. We can’t undo the environmental damage that will follow. This is a bad idea.

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT

Good advice, whether they show up or not.

Agents provocateurs are always ready

“Currently, there is no plan for where everyone is sleeping tonight,” the source said, adding that there was an urgent need to find more portable bathrooms and dumpsters for garbage.

Trump deploys National Guard in L.A. amid protests over immigration raids Trump signed a memo to federalize 2,000 National Guardsmen, arguing the deployment is necessary to combat the “lawlessness” in Los Angeles.

Today, WH Border Czar Homan said California's Governor and LA Mayor Bass could be arrested if they interfered with ICE. This, after the arrest of a NJ Congresswoman & a Wisconsin Judge. This isn't what democracy is supposed to look like. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Judge in the lower federal courts are trying to play a role that are not used to, trying to wake up the public to what's going on, while remaining true to their constitutional role.

I see the words riot control many comments. But if these are peaceful protests they are not riots. Police inciting violence?

He lies for attention and to try and increase tensions and anxiety. Seems he would like to create a situation that would “allow “ him to declare martial law and take over all governors and states. This isn’t delusional, it’s evil personified. It’s important to keep protests non-violent, peaceful.

If Joe Biden had done this, it would've been a newscycle
