What makes you think Becerra doesn’t support them as well? He marched in the Long Beach Pride parade and has a history of supporting LGBTQ rights. He is endorsed by Equality California.

Look for your state incentives. I got a grant for the down payment and a rebate from our power company here in California.

Oh no! Just a tip—try acupuncture for relief. My 82 year old mother suffered so much from her shingles that she went waaaay out of her comfort zone in desperation and got acupuncture treatments. It lessened her pain and itching and started her healing.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

The UK version is Great British Baking Show meets Survivor and I love it. The American version is for people who love Bravo shows and cattiness. Claudia is authentic and Alan is all script. I watch both, but greatly prefer the Brits.

Do you think the CHP should be hunting down people with suspected traffic violations and grabbing them off the street and throwing them into detention facilities? A traffic ticket and being undocumented are the same level of civil lawbreaking. Why are we tolerating this behavior from ICE?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

The Trump administration has quietly released the first stage of its plan to revoke birthright citizenship from the children of immigrants. It uses dry legalese to conceal the barbaric reality of ICE agents in maternity wards and deportation flights for babies. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Trump Just Released His Plan to Revoke Birthright Citizenship. It’s Worse Than Imagined.
Try as it might, the government cannot cover up the horrors with bureaucratic legalese.

If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

As we see Trump attack Iran in violation of Constitutional law and Democratic leadership respond by writing groveling and impotent tweets, I'm reminded why someone described Republicans as the Uvalde shooter and Democrats as the cops who waited outside and did nothing. Smh.

The Trump Admin is considering doing a game show where immigrants compete for citizenship—because in their America, basic human rights are entertainment. This isn’t a game. It’s people’s lives. It’s cruelty as spectacle. It’s vile. The Apprentice: Fascism Edition.

They’re not “deporting” people, they’re kidnapping them and sending them to foreign prisons. Concentration camps. They’re paying these countries to imprison humans. It’s human trafficking.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.
