Vote YES on the California Voting Rights Act of 2026
Voting rights are the foundation of our democracy, and they are under attack.. That's why California Common Cause is supporting the California Voting Rights Act of 2026 package (SB 1164 and SB 1360)....

Remember, it's virtually impossible to sue federal agents, so it will be basically impossible to hold ICE officers who shock people without justification accountable. We should not be giving new weapons like this to a law enforcement agency that enjoys near-total impunity.

VERY interesting development here. Widespread reporting said the Burke Law Group got a $150 million contract to rep migrant kids. Now they say in a statement that the Trump admin approached them, they were only considering applying for a small grant, no application was submitted, and now they won't.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 7d agoThe perception of corruption surrounding everything this administration does is staggering. A 26-person law firm with no immigration experience just got a $150 million no-bid contract from HHS to represent migrant kids facing deportation — and surprise surprise, the firm is close to Trump.
