YES ON 50, CALIFORNIA!

DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE!

Turn your ballots in early!

Canvass! Phone Bank!

The Reformers

TRUMP LIT THE GERRYMANDERING FUSE

*Direct response to Trump’s push for red states like Texas to redraw their maps to disenfranchise Democrats and elect more Republicans

*Trump’s redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats

*CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red

YES ON 50

TO CLAP-BACK

What can you do?
Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand a stop to the lawless brutalization of immigrants and US citizens.

Also, volunteer for the YES on Prop 50 campaign, the most important election in history that can save democracy from 1-party rule at stopelectionrigging.com

Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act

Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

Harjit Kaur came to the US 34 years ago to escape political violence but the Trump's ICE deported this 73-year-old granny with no criminal record after treating her abominably. She was detained for days without a bed, forced to sleep on the floor despite her health problems!

Citizens & long-time US residents are being brutalized, detained & deported.
Paramjit Singh has a brain tumor & a heart condition, but because he used a public phone without paying 10 years ago they have detained him for 2 months and withheld medical care, and are deporting him.

Good fucking morning to everybody except JD Vance, who couldn’t answer basic questions on ABC yesterday about Tom Homan taking a $50,000 cash bribe. These people are the most corrupt politicians in American history.

Maca Iglesias🇺🇸Thank You, President Biden🇺🇸 @rotterdamvvg.bsky.social · 2h

Please correct me if my memory is not accurate.

Didn't the MAGA Republicans spend the entire Biden presidency trying to impeach him based on allegations that he abused his office for his family's financial gain?

And why is it now ok for a president’s son to get a company board job?

🇺🇸 I am a proud, anti-fascist vet who served on the USS Trenton LPD-14 as an assault boat coxswain in the '70s.

🇺🇸 We defended our country from America-attacking, suckers and losers like Trump.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

NJ is experiencing flooding that could damage homes, businesses & beachfronts. Seems like a good time to remind folks that Jack Ciattarelli, Repub. running for Gov, previously voted against disaster relief.

A State of Emergency in reaction to a strong, dangerous storm has blanketed the Garden State since Saturday night. As the forecasted 60 mph wind gusts, coastal flooding and several inches of heavy rain encroach on the region, some towns are already feeling the impacts of the severe weather Sunday evening.

On Sunday morning, the National Weather service noted that confidence remained high for major coastal flooding and beach erosion that could be exacerbated by high tide, threatening buildings along the coast.
