BREAKING: We are introducing AB 1266 to end bench warrants that are used to arrest low-income people in CA for not being able to afford to pay a fine or for facing barriers to attending a court date. #debtfreejustice@Ash_Kalra
On the 4th anniversary of the worst antisemitic massacre in US history, major Jewish orgs are outside the UN spouting racist incitement against Palestinians and accusing human rights organizations of causing antisemitic violence. A shocking and horrifying display. 🧵
Hey @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom, after yrs of exploitation at the hands of predatory prison telecoms, California families are depending on YOU to provide overdue financial relief. SIGN SB1008 TODAY! This policy has been successful in other states & counties.�
According to @SouthwestAir our flight has been delayed for 4 hours because they needed to shut down the terminal for a VIP??? Shame on @SouthwestAir. I’m missing celebrating my nieces birthday; countless other folks who are trapped here trying to get to family and friends
Big news! State legislators have agreed on a budget that would end civil assessments!

We celebrate this plan's commitment to #EndCivilAssessments!
BREAKING: We sued the @CalCourts Judicial Council for running an illegal revenue scheme. @CalCourts have been using late fees known as civil assessments to fund the courts off the backs of low-income Californians who can't afford to pay a traffic ticket. 1/https://t.co/79wIM0ZKCA

Hey @AlaskaAir - you put my 70+ immune-compromised mother’s life at risk. It was reckless to lift the mask mandate without warning or time for people to change their behavior. Do better!

Dreams upended. Homes destroyed. Families shattered.
These are the true costs of war, and they must never be lost in the discussions of what is happening in Ukraine.
Every bullet fired and every missile launched is an assault on humanity.
