I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.
Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon. Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying. A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
This hits hard! An L.A. protest in the 1930s, pushing back against illegal immigration raids. During the Great Depression, thousands of Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born kids were deported. Racism and economic fear drove it then, just like now.
So proud to be a part of a peaceful friendly No Kings protest in BG, Ohio! More showed up than last time. I talked with so many cool people all there for various causes but all in agreement that Trump is not on our side and we are not on his.
