⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

We can’t go back to business as usual. We need Democratic Socialists who care about the people, not “centrist” Dems who only care about their corporate donors.

I’m glad to see a Union taking action. While unions are not legally allowed to sponsor political strikes, we’ve long ago passed the point of being able to stay within laws meant to cripple us if we expect to fight this fascist takeover. Thanks to the nurses!!

I need to take a break from social media for a week or two. Once the nightmares creep in, it's time for some self-care. (I have no idea if this is from a movie, but it's definitely the mood that was dancing in my head all night.)

I need to say that I don't think the music rallies from home are going to be useful tomorrow. I won't be "attending". I would have gladly gone to a protest. I don't care that people think they are useless. Being on the streets is better than whatever this is.

If you're a California voter, and still haven't decided about Lieutenant Governor, I recommend Janelle Kellman, not Fiona Ma. Take a few minutes to watch their videos. I also like Michael Tubbs. Ms. Ma came in a distant 4th place for me after watching these videos. www.kcra.com/article/inte...
