Indefinite Economic Blackout 🇺🇸

SUPPORT Ukraine, DEI, Vets, Education, and ACA; RESIST autogenocide, oligarchy, exploitation, imperialism, and autocracy.

Spend the minimum and only at local/small businesses until resolution.

Let’s buy the MINIMUM from big corporations and SUPPORT small business until this changes. This inequity started 45 years ago, so change will take our sustained collective persistence.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Seated figure → meant to represent California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Left figure with hat → resembles musician Kid Rock.

Right figure in suit → resembles conservative commentator Tucker Carlson.

California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years.

But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power.

With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.

OMG, this photo. I have walked out of Union Station dozens of times after arriving from NYC and I never saw any need whatsoever for the National Guard at the rideshare pickup island. This is a colossal waste that deserves nothing but derision. www.publicnotice.co/p/democratic...

Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime

They're wrong on the policy and wrong on the politics.

2/ Consequently Ukrainians die, and we will only have to face an emboldened Putin and Xi down the track at much, much greater cost. Shame on us.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
