@KevinKileyCA When you were a Republican, you did not hold our President accountable as he expanded his Executive power and did not vote for Congress to have its constitutional power. Instead you allowed the President to do as his wished without Congressional input

I was so excited when @JaneKim called to let me know @CA_WFP was joining our campaign for US Senate!

With the help of progressive grassroots activists across California, we will win this election and ensure everyone has the opportunity to live the American Dream.

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

We need a #Medicare4All LEADER in the Senate, not somebody that will wilt under pressure. @BarbaraLeeForCA knows what it means to stand up for the people. Let's send her to the Senate!

That feels like something Draymond Green will be ejected and possibly even suspended moving forward...

If we can have a federal holiday to celebrate presidents, we can have one to elect them too.

"I think about those that are suffering, and there's plenty of people that suffer in our current system, and that we need to be there for them... This is something I take very seriously." @ash_kalra's final statement before #AB1400 passed the California Assembly Health Committee

🎄Christmas Giveaway🎄

Back in 2017 the Kings were on the cover of a magazine in Taiwan for some reason. My guy @fccpw_2903 mailed some over, and I forgot about them. The art is awesome.

Retweet to enter, and on Christmas Day I will select 3 people to send them to.

@CMKValenzuela Thank you for your leadership in getting this passed!

[Councilmember Katie Valenzuela @CMKValenzuela]

I’m proud that my colleagues voted tonight to support both AB 1400 (the California Guaranteed Health Care for All Act) and H.R. 1976 (the M4A Act of 2021), recognizing healthcare as a human right and sending a message to our state legislators that systems change is badly needed.

ANTI-VAXX PROTESTER: Do you see all of these homeless people around. Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?

HOMELESS PERSON (walking by): Because I’m vaccinated you dumb fuck.

@Jim_Jordan People don't want to work in unsafe work conditions in a pandemic. You want people to do work you wouldn't do... a little hypocritical, don't you think???

Happy belated 56th Birthday to Medicare, which was signed into law on 7/30/65!
It's time for expanded & improved Medicare for ALL. We're calling on @DorisMatsui @RepBera & @JohnGaramendi to cosponsor H.R. 1976, the Medicare for All Act of 2021.

In case you missed it, here's photos from yesterday's protest in front of the state Capitol. Sacramento Democratic Socialists of America say it's time for a single-payer health system in California.

Excellent article. I also believe that until #Unions take on serious discussions on class analysis that we will continue to lose.
