Unapologetic liberal here to play a part in bringing down the reign of far-right authoritarianism and ideology. Oh and, of course, FUCK TRUMP & MAGA! 💙💙🟦🟦🤗🤗

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 New vocabulary of the week: (Repeat after me?) Election Rigging Response Act (CA Proposition 50) It’s a response to offset the electoral power grab in Texas. It’s waiting for the referendum(Nov.4) Thank you, Gov. Newsom, for the swift move.

After President Biden left office,Democrats lost their balance. No clear voice, no strong center. But that’s changing. Newsom isn’t just talking — he’s doing the work. We haven’t lost because of GOP strength. When we’ve lost, it’s been from within. 2026 is in play. 2028? Newsom’s still in play.

For everyone who doesn’t want to vote for Newsom then you might as well vote for whoever the MAGA candidate will be! Is he perfect? No. But nobody is. 💯💯💯

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.
