I spend so much time pushing for the Epstein files to be released because I don’t want my son growing up in a world where the rich and powerful can prey on young women and men without consequences. What kind of message would that send him? That’s not the world I want to raise him in.

To exhibit dominance. Like a dog marking his territory with piss.

Donald Trump is a wartime president.

War on women.
War on voting rights.
War on Latinos.
War on California.
War on institutions.
War on history.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

“We will not be politically correct.”

Republican-speak for “We will not be constitutional or respectful of human rights and civil liberties.”

Because that’s “woke” and “gay” and “probably socialist.”

Rabid. 🤌
No description better defines MAGA’s ideology and pathology.

NOTHING I’ve seen in footage of any protest in any city is as violent, horrific and obstructive of government as Jan 6th.

SO SICK OF GOP HYPOCRISY

📣📣📣 Access to birth control is revolutionary, life-changing, and more vital than ever. You deserve to feel empowered to speak to a medical professional about the best birth control options for you when you are sexually active and don’t want to get pregnant.

For my generation, what is going on with the Police State is beyond our wildest nightmares. Impossible. Surreal. Unacceptable.

What is tragic is that an entire generation is growing up seeing this as "normal." The goal of the fascist regime now in place is to normalize the Police State, worship it.

I’ve done some phone-banking on Prop 50 and talked to hundreds of CA voters this week. Californians are fired up for YES on 50 🔥 Hilarious comments about Trump were a perk.

I often say that people can put me on mute if they tire of hearing me go on, and on and on about children, civil rights, public education and mental health. They can put me on mute and I will keep on talking!

Pure projection by the Insurrectionist-in-Chief.

His soulless heart can’t even imagine that people would resist ICE simply because it’s humanitarian.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."
