Great news: California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Ratepayer Protection Act, which prevents for-profit utilities like PG&E and SoCalGas from forcing customers to pay for political lobbying and promotional ads.

This will lower energy bills for Californians - a big win!

ICE is torturing detainees
While the acts themselves already constitute torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, the patterned, state-directed, and concealed nature of ICE’s restraint practices could — under international legal definitions — meet the threshold for crimes against humanity

All but two of the communities with GEO Group ICE facilities have poverty rates higher than the national average.

Too many elected officials take GEO's donations, push GEO's agenda, and then act like their constituents should just be grateful for the jobs. Don't let them get away with it.

Bar chart titled “Poverty Rates in Communities with GEO Group ICE Detention Facilities.” The chart compares city poverty rates to the national average of 11.1%, shown as a dashed blue line. Bars represent rates for 18 cities including Adelanto, CA; Alexandria, LA; Pompano Beach, FL; Jena, LA; Robstown, TX; Newark, NJ; Aurora, CO; La Villa, TX; Folkston, GA; McFarland, CA; Conroe, TX; Karnes City, TX; Encinal, TX; Bakersfield, CA; Philipsburg, PA; Baldwin, MI; Tacoma, WA; Pine Prairie, LA; Laredo, TX; and Basile, LA. Most bars rise well above the national average, with Baldwin, MI notably the highest. Source: data.census.gov, 2023.

How are MA government officials involved in, answerable to, accountable and liable for federal criminality in the illegal conduct of enforcement actions targeting state residents? IL Gov Pritzker is holding agents accountable for assault.

Lunch Is on the House
Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Futbol Club at Jaleo.
And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot—
because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

Large campaign finance accounts accrued despite uncontested races, is a new piece in the puzzle.

MA has one of the most heavily Democratic legislatures, but the lack of small "d" democracy makes progress slow. #mapoli

NC state rep Tricia Cotham and ME-2 Rep Jared Golden are party-switchers who looked great as candidates.
If they aren't progressive as heck based on prior record in office, and have rich backers, look out.

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.
A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.
