We don't have one-time challenges in California. I've proposed permanent, progressive tax reform to make the richest individuals and corporations pay their fair share, and give working families a much-needed break.

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

Thank you Leigh McGowan for laying it plain. (OP: iampoliticsgirl via IG)

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms. You have to listen to this.

Even in Denver, hacked crosswalks played audio messages to call out Trump’s actions.

Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade— yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.

Since Trump’s election: 🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats 🔴 Republicans have flipped 0

DON’T STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% while taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans. Working families will die so that the very rich get even richer. Yes. We need a wealth tax on billionaires.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

The DOJ is unlawfully withholding most of the files in its possession; that is, we only have ONE PERCENT of the Epstein files. Don’t get distracted.

A reminder that not so long ago we honored immigrants in the US, even by carving monuments like this one at Immigration Point, over the Golden Gate connecting the Pacific to SF Bay. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Still waiting for those Epstein files to be released

Videographer Stuart Bass perfectly captured our powerful funeral procession in San Rafael today. 1,500 at the rally and 1,196 took part in the funeral procession. #ICEOutForGood #ICEisGestapo

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

With everything that has happened this week, you know what didn’t happen? The release of the Epstein files.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela? 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Alabama had 717 murders in 2023, with a population around 3.5 million less than NYC.

Please make sure every military member you know knows this.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

I’m tired. Aren’t you tired America?

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

What did minimum wage get you each decade? In 2025, it buys you nothing but exhaustion. There’s not a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom. Not one. That’s the economy we’re living in. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Republicans are scared of this district being flipped! Let’s make their nightmare a reality, show up to vote on December 2nd! Tell a friend! Phonebanking: www.mobilize.us/aftynforcong... Canvassing: www.mobilize.us/aftynforcong... Donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/aftyn...

He’s going to fight drug trafficking by pardoning them? Trump announced “a Full and Complete Pardon” for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the US.

Powerful.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.” Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Last night, eight Dems in the Senate broke ranks and acquiesced to Republicans in the shutdown fight.

Guess these folks really don’t understand that we’re fighting a fascist regime.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich. American capitalism is off the rails.

Women are tired of old men telling them what to do and what to think. Old men need to take a minute and learn to fucking listen because the statement is loud and clear.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Yup. It turns out massively destabilizing trade in and out of the country is bad for people importing to build factories in order to export stuff. Also, they’ve pretty much killed CHIPS and Science, the largest domestic manufacturing bill in recent history.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

No, Mr. President. You do not have the right to take away student debt forgiveness from teachers, nurses, veterans and other public servants if they do not show loyalty to your right-wing political agenda. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Rescind this illegal rule.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

I’m still pissed - and gutted. The donor list for Trump’s White House ballroom felt overwhelming — like how do we even begin to protest this? So I broke it down into small, doable actions. If you’re upset too, here’s how you can push back — even in 5-10 min chunks. 🧵/1 #CollaboratorsList
