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."

Californians!!

As the world celebrates girl children on Oct 11, remember that our state remains one of the 34 US states that still allows child marriage.

CA’s law is one of the worst, allowing men to marry girls of ANY age. Go to Unchained At Last to learn the stats.

Watch the pick-me girl Republican Member laugh. Maybe she thinks it’s funny. More likely, she’s laughing along with Mike because that’s what being raised in Republican patriarchal culture does to girls and women.

This is why Republicans chanting “Lock her up! Lock her up!” back in 2015-16 was a watershed moment in the US. Mob behavior, tolerated and even laughed at, by Republicans.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 11d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Oh please. By blocking the release and continuing to do whatever Trump wants, House Republicans are already pedo-protectors.

They can run but it’s too late to clear their name. Anyone who stood with Trump this long is stained for life.
