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.

Justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht will face voters on November 4 in retention elections that could reshape Pennsylvania's highest court ahead of the 2026 midterms
www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
These Pennsylvania court races are usually sleepy. This year, they're drawing millions in spending.
Three Democratic-backed justices are up for a "retention" vote in November. If they all lose, it could deadlock the top court in a critical swing state for years.

Kamala Harris has consistently called for the protection of civilians and humanitarian aid in Gaza, while condemning violence from all sides. Reducing that to a soundbite or conspiracy is not “holding leaders accountable,” it’s spreading distortion.

If you care, channel that energy into civic action, not noise. Because the more we let ignorance dominate the conversation, the less chance we have of influencing policy at all.

You want human rights respected? That starts with showing up, voting, and supporting leaders who engage seriously with complex crises — not heckling without facts.

misinformation itself — it’s how it poisons public understanding, drives people away from participating, and depresses voter turnout. When people stay home based on falsehoods, they hand over the future to those who don’t share their values

This is one of the most unhinged + uninformed posts I've seen in a while. What happened at that book signing is exactly why we’re in the situation we are now — loud, misinformed voices drowning out facts and nuanced policy.

There are still a lot of people out there who want some magnetic leader to rise and lead them, and don’t realize that the longer they wait to take initiative to get involved themselves, the longer this nightmare will continue.

If you want something done, do it!
