Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

You know what’s more threatening, Mike?

Naked fascism.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

These are the faces of men who think racism, rape, and gas chambers are punchlines.

The fact that these are actual GOP officials, not trolls in a reply section, says everything about the rot inside their movement.

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

🗳️ I just voted YES on #Prop50 because Californians deserve fair representation and a REAL response to partisan gerrymandering across the country.

If you believe in protecting democracy and balanced elections, join me and vote YES on 50.

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.
