Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest.

The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump.

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

“Compassion, Not Chaos.” “Standing up together, we will defend our rights.”

Thank you, Rep. @dorismatsui.bsky.social

Rep. Doris Matsui @dorismatsui.bsky.social · 15h

In Sacramento, we believe leadership means compassion, not chaos.

It’s forged through community. Through standing up together to defend our rights, reject Trump's abuses of power and lift each other up.

That’s the Sacramento spirit. And that’s what I’ll keep fighting for every single day. #NoKings

Sacramento sends a strong, clear, and precise message of peace, love, freedom, democracy and human rights. #NoKings

“The price of soy dropped under the Trump administration largely due to the Trump administration’s trade war with China.”

“There’s no reason for it. This is absolute stupidity.”

“US soybean crisis is a 'man-made disaster caused by' Trump. And farmers know it.”

“US soybean crisis is a 'man-made disaster caused by' Trump. And farmers know it.”

"A bailout from Trump is like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,"

“American farmers need a president who cares” and “They're not getting that from Trump.”

US soybean crisis is a 'man-made disaster caused by' Trump. And farmers know it. | Opinion

On Oct. 10, Trump escalated trade tensions with China. By Oct. 12, he was posting that 'it will all be fine.' But that doesn't help America's farmers.

Congress must get back to work and prioritize:
1. Affordable, accessible healthcare for all Americans.
2. Paychecks for our military and federal employees.

RJufiar @rjufiar.bsky.social · 1d

Healthcare tax credits will lower the cost of monthly insurance premiums making healthcare more affordable and accessible for American families.

RJufiar @rjufiar.bsky.social · 1d

Without the extension of ACA credits, healthcare costs will increase nationwide.

“Trump’s economy is failing working people.”

The White House “isn’t delivering on grocery prices.” “Red warning sign, in this report from The WSJ on rising grocery prices”

Grocery Prices Are Rising. Trump’s Focused on Everything Else. — New York Magazine

The globe-trotting president and his immigrant-chasing and government-bashing White House should pay some attention to the issue that got him elected.

The cost of coffee, meat, and fruit are all higher because of Trump’s tariffs.

This economy is failing working people.
