There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

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.

If measles hits Alaska we will most likely see it first in the home school community before public schools.

It won't take long to get into our public schools because the Interior (including Fairbanks) has a very low rate of vaccination for Kindergartners (ages 5-6) of 57%.

This is a tinderbox.

California voters, are you paying attention?

North Carolina Republicans are redrawing the map to hand Trump another seat. They’re bragging about locking down Congress for him.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

“At a minimum, we should do what we can to reduce the deadliness of mass shooters by reducing the number of shots they can fire in a short period of time. [An assault weapons ban] would be a common-sense partial solution to a terrible problem of public safety.” - Dr. Greg Ganske, former Congressman

I'm a Republican. It's time to renew the federal assault weapons ban. | Opinion

Mass shootings using an assault weapon resulted in nearly six times as many people shot and more than twice as many killed, according to Everytown.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?
