Hate to say it, but we really need an organized nationwide economic strike at this point. These monsters respond only when it hits their pocketbooks. We need to stop buying for a week or so to inflict maximum economic damage, drop the markets, and make them lose millions!

BREAKING: In Colorado, Voters approved a ballot measure to raise state income taxes on households earning $300,000 or more in order to fund free meals for all public school students. They voted to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for free meals for public school students.

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Here's an idea: Only shop at places where the employees are represented by a union. NO Walmart. NO Amazon. NO FedEx. Try it. I still order stuff online & it's delivered by UPS or USPS. I shop at Meijer. I drive a car built by UAW members. You say you are an "activist?" Then show us.

It's time to quit sending our money to Amazon. 300m for the "Epstein Ballroom", while 42m people are going to struggle to have enough food!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

First there was the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up!

Voters in California who live more than 50 miles from a USPS regional mail center must mail their VBM ballots AT LEAST ONE DAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY to ensure they're postmarked on time and counted. Ballots mailed on ED will be postmarked the following day, making them ineligible. shorturl.at/ctY4K

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize. California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

We can't afford to be violent that's what they want. Can we all just quit working. Quit buying. Speak out to everyone about why voting matters and why waiting for the perfect candidate to vote for opened the door to a 34 count felon. Can we care about democracy?
