Sen. Padilla's Prop 50 ad is very effective. They used the footage of him being shoved to the ground and cuffed. I swear, my blood pressure goes through the roof each time I see it.

Thank you, @padilla.senate.gov, for this ad. #Yeson50

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

"On the consumer side, monopoly control over platforms and interfaces allows a single firm to decide what products appear first, which content is amplified, or which services are accessible at all."

The Algorithms That Dictate Our Lives Are Not Neutral

Algorithms are not apolitical tools that simply improve efficiency in online transactions or workplace coordination. They are instruments of control and should be regulated like other tools of control...

"After we win in November, we do not demobilize. The rich and corporate interests who tried to buy this election with the millions they stole from our pockets will want to see us fail.

We won’t let them." - Chi Ossé
