ICE took a baby in a raid in Santa Maria yesterday - a BABY!!! What was the baby's crime? A stinky diaper?

“District attorneys hold immense authority in people’s lives and in a community.... When that authority is exercised by someone who publicly expresses racial, religious or gender-based bias, it endangers both individual rights and the integrity of the justice system itself.”

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.

If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.

We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them.

DA Dan Dow can’t serve justice while spreading anti-Muslim hate | Opinion SLO County district attorney “debases himself by carrying water for an ugly, anti-Islamic organization,” writes SLO Tribune Editorial Board.

Cops have always lied, but now it's more readily provable.

Dan Dow has got to go.

Who is actually running this country? Who is really running the country? Because there’s no way it’s the president. In his CBS interview yesterday, Trump admitted he didn’t even remember who he pardoned, the billionaire who pleaded guilty...

"The issue isn’t the [auto]pen, it’s whether the person behind the signature knows what they’re signing. Trump’s pardons reveal something else entirely, a president who no longer seems aware of what his own hand is doing."

It makes me sad that instead of coming to our improv show to raise funds for a charity helping the homeless, people stayed away to watch a sporting event, and those few in the room demanded that the TV behind us be left on so they could watch the game.

BE ADVISED: it’s perfectly legal for cops to lie to you—has been for decades.

This applies to I.C.E. agents as well.

I’m always surprised at the number of everyday people who don’t realize police lie a ton (because they’re trained to).

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

It's plain to see that skeletons can't hold their liquor.

And then sometimes they decide on a whim that the papers are fake.

How long until a critical mass of people stop paying taxes?

What if the Big Law Firms Hadn’t Caved to Trump? It’s not inconceivable that, had the firms resisted the President’s executive orders, his momentum for lawlessness might have been curbed.

Law firms have an established duty to uphold the integrity of the system they work in, not only for their own benefit but for the benefit of society. If more of them had stood up to Trump, they might have curbed his lawlessness.

The SLO County DA treats bomb threats against synagogues as a hate crime, but dismisses shredding and trashing a Pride flag as a mere misdemeanor property crime.

The hate crime classification seems to depend on the identity of the victim.

A Pride flag was shredded in Pismo Beach. Why wasn’t it charged as a hate crime? “It’s not like he came in and stomped on my flowers or smashed a garden gnome, right?” the victim told The Tribune.
