Republicans rig maps, Democrats fight back.

Californiaโ€™s new maps cut straight into GOP districtsโ€”and voters get the final say this November.

Thatโ€™s the difference. Republicans cheat. Democrats put it to the people. The only way we survive is to fight fire with ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Coming to a town near you.

I can speak from my familyโ€™s own experience.

Medicaid Cuts, Trumpโ€™s horrific ICE raids, and increases in the cost of maintaining a child care center are making child care extremely expensive if not impossible for most families to afford, and harder to find providers.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, itโ€™s at our peril. We may not get this back. Iโ€™m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Former White House Chief of Staff to President Biden, Ronald Klain. This isnโ€™t hyperbole. Itโ€™s why more and more people like Ron are standing up and stating the obvious. They know how close to the end of democracyโ€ฆand freedomโ€ฆwe are.

Hackification Arendtโ€™s Law comes for economic data

Paul Krugman quoting Hannah Arendt:
"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

Fleeing One Step Ahead of Fascism The chilling warnings of Europe in the 1930s: "Reality is stronger than all our wishes"

As I worked over the winter on my new book, there was one chapter that felt particularly heavyโ€”the accounts of Jewish refugee scientists fleeing Hitler's Europe and how democracy succumbed to fascism. Much of this feels too familiar right now: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

The White House was forced to react to South Park as Trump completely loses it with rage, calling the show โ€œnot relevantโ€ and "hanging on by a thread," despite the show recently securing a $1.5 billion deal.

Trump is considering suing over โ€˜tiny penisโ€™ allegations.

Paramountโ€™s Trump Settlement: A Big Fat Bribe | Jeffrey Epstein Never Dies | FIFA Trophy Row
YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Paramountโ€™s Trump Settlement: A Big Fat Bribe | Jeffrey Epstein Never Dies | FIFA Trophy Row

Stephen Colbert's program was the top-rated network late-night show though Q2 2025, casting considerable doubt on Paramount's claim that the cancelation was a "financial decision."

Coincidentally, here's a clip of a segment that aired just before Paramount's decision:

Did you know that while 2,700 Marines were sent to Los Angeles to quell protests, they were completely absent in Texas to assist in the search for over 180 missing individuals? Itโ€™s a stark contrast, isnโ€™t it?

Superman didnโ€™t โ€œgo woke.โ€
Star Wars didnโ€™t โ€œgo woke.โ€
Sesame Street didnโ€™t โ€œgo woke.โ€

They were always woke, youโ€™re just fucking stupid.

Trump's big, ugly betrayal hurts working families by taking food off the table, abandoning public education and eroding the social programs that support hardworking Americans. Our ad, supported by an incredible coalition representing millions of people, is in today's NYT. www.aft.org/press-releas...
