Yes on 50 signs are now available at most Democratic local offices for a small donation. Polling shows a large number of undecided voters on this proposition, and with a month and a half to go, we need to make sure they go Yes. #YesOn50 #CA03

From last night’s South Park. You don’t need context, just enjoy the visuals. And don’t forget the lower-third. #SouthPark
Cartoon Hannity on Fox News set, lower third says “TRUMP CONFIRMED FATHER OF SATAN BUTT BABY,” and the upper graphic says “BREAKING NEWS - CONFIRMED: DONALD TRUMP IS F*CKING SATAN!”

Fellow Californians - it’s time we flex our proverbial muscle and counter Texas’ actions. I’ve already received mailers against it, so make sure people have accurate information and encourage them to vote YES on #Prop50. Vote November 4th like the country depends on it. Because it might.

Good morning America, June 14th marks two birthdays - one of service, one of self. One sworn to defend the Republic, the other sworn to himself. On this day, we rise not against a date, but a delusional man. Be peaceful but loud. Do not be intimidated. #NoKings

This fire season is off to a bang, and it’s only mid-May. If you live in any of the yellow states above and deal with wildfire threat, check out Watch Duty. It’s an indispensable tool with both free and paid memberships. www.watchduty.org

Today is the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany. We take for granted that the outcome of that war was not known in the moment, just as we do not know the outcome of the fight for democracy in this moment. I hope good prevails now as it did then. #VEDay

Mikhail Khodorkovsky was once Russia’s richest man—until he crossed Putin. Arrested, assets seized, a decade in prison. A reminder to billionaires cozying up to the regime: authoritarian leaders use you until you’re a threat. Then they crush you. Wealth can protect you for a time. Then it can’t.

There's a propaganda tactic called Accusations in a Mirror. It's exactly what it sounds like: accusing your opponents of doing exactly what you're doing. It's not just hypocrisy-it's a deliberate weapon to confuse, divide, and incite.

Understanding Accusations in a Mirror is crucial. It’s not some fringe theory—it’s a red flag of authoritarianism. We’ve seen this tactic before. We know where it leads. Naming it is the first step in breaking the spell.

Apple has lost $1.26T in value since December. That’s roughly the cumulative market caps of Walmart, Proctor & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson. Here are revised price estimates for the 16 series; iPhone is their largest product share at 55.6%. Apple stock is held by many retirement accounts.

Great turnout today in Grass Valley. Our small rural community really showed up to have our voices heard. Let this be the first of many. United we stand, divided we fall. #CA03 #grassvalley #nevadacounty

To anyone that lives in CA-03, there are three separate Hands Off! events today in Kevin Kiley’s district (Roseville, Auburn, Grass Valley). Make your voices heard, especially in Placer County. That’s where we need to cut away at his support. #handsoff #roseville #auburn #grassvalley #CA03

Nothing to see here, folks - just six B-2 bombers lined up at the remote island base at Diego Garcia. They don’t roll these out unless they need to hit a country with advanced air defenses (e.g. Iran). Or maybe they wanted to move $12B in planes for fun.

Make this make sense. Mango Mussolini’s stock is listed on the NASDAQ, as are all the major tech companies. As of 12pm Pacific, every major NASDAQ stock is down, yet his is up? He caused this crash, yet he’s somehow making money on it? Am I missing something?

I’m so glad that uninhabited islands made it onto the tariff list.

This is what polio looks like. We solved this problem. And now the dumb guy king, aka Joe Rogan, thinks it’s not so bad. Cool. You can put your iron lung next your ice bath and antelope meat, you absolute moron.

Loving this campaign in Grass Valley, CA by @thesixpac.bsky.social. Plain messaging that cuts right to the core of an issue that affects both red and blue households alike. By the way, still waiting on that in-person town hall, Rep. Kiley ⏰ #CA03 #kevinkiley #grassvalley

Looking for an American EV alternative to the Swasticar? Both Rivian (SUV’s & trucks) and Lucid (sedans) are California-based, have much higher build qualities, and aren’t owned by Leon. rivian.com lucidmotors.com

Nothing to see here, just the ousting of legitimate news agency from the department with the largest budget in favor of insane, right-wing outlets. I’m sure this is an error and they’re not looking to avoid legitimate scrutiny.

Eighty years ago today, Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet armed forces in Nazi-occupied Poland. As the survivors die of old age, it is our duty to ensure their stories are not lost. History demands that we do not look away from its horrors so as to avoid its mistakes. Never again.

I’ve been watching “Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial,” and one of the historians equates the Berghof to “Hitler’s Mar-a-Lago.” Apt comparison.

Found this little owl hiding behind a flower pot on the deck. Moments like this remind why I don’t miss living in a city.
