It’s been over 48 hours since this story broke & Jack Ciattarelli still hasn’t condemned the ‘Young Republicans’ who support slavery, “love Hitler,” & think rape is “epic.”

… including this guy who pledged to spend all his time getting Jack elected 👇

So the orange pustule can find $20billion for Argentina but ZERO for Americans about to lose health care. If you voted for this idiot you're soulless.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.
