It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

Apple is union-busting again, this time by closing its first unionized U.S. store. Reminder that Apple is spending $100B on stock buybacks. Meanwhile, CEO Tim Cook has been fawning over Trump, who effectively gutted the govt agency that supervises union organizing. Textbook corporate greed.

As soon as tomorrow, Senate Republicans could start the legislative process to shovel over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol to build more concentration camps like Delaney Hall and kidnap more of our neighbors. That means our Members of Congress need to hear from us.

Chad Bianco is polling No 2 in the CA governor’s race and loves to talk about “waste, fraud, and abuse.” In 2023 - total compensation as Riverside sheriff was $593,518, a huge leap over his predecessor’s salary and much higher than the current governor’s salary. Does waste include his bloated pay?

This is why California Dems are freaking the F out. Chad Bianco is polling number 2 in the latest poll for the governor’s race. Not only has he seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election, he’s an election denier and had ties to the Oath Keepers, which he acknowledged years ago.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
