"The SPLC, which is based in Montgomery, Alabama, was founded in 1971 and used civil litigation to fight white supremacist groups. The nonprofit has become a popular target among Republicans who see it as overly leftist and partisan."

Today in 1930, fire broke out inside the overcrowded Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, killing 322 inmates in the deadliest prison disaster in U.S. history.
Today in 2016, #Prince, one of the most inventive and influential musicians of modern times, was found dead at his home in suburban #Minneapolis from an accidental fentanyl overdose; he was 57.
“This act of economic coercion is an #unjustified #punishment of the entire Cuban population. It is also a form of global #blackmail against sovereign states, which have every right to export fuel to #Cuba, under the rules that govern free trade.”

Wait to vote until after the gubernatorial candidate debates!
On or after May 5, vote for whichever dem is ahead in the polls. Probably #Styer, #Porter or #Becerra
We can't let two Rs dominate the November run-off!!
Thank you for clearing the path, Betty Yee.
"The ruling by a divided seven-judge panel of the appellate-level Commonwealth Court is a major victory for Planned Parenthood and abortion clinic operators who first sued Pennsylvania over its Medicaid funding restrictions in 2019."

Please god, let this happen!!
The Onion CEO Ben Collins "said the deal could be in place around April 30, if approved by Judge Maya Guerra Gamble in Austin. He said The Onion has already hired people to run Infowars as a parody site...."
Mixed messages is too polite. "Erratic" and "demented" are a better fit.

ICYMI: "Human Rights First documented nearly 120 deportation flights out of San Diego International Airport and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar last year. That’s a massive increase from 2024, when there was not a single deportation flight out of San Diego."
Prince passed away 10 years ago today.
RIP, your music lives on.
Realizing US citizens paid $166 Billion in illegal tariffs and now it’s being refunded back to corporations instead of us.
In a literal case of "Do what I say, not what I do..."

TAHE ACTION | Tell Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles and Governor Abbott to stop the execution of James Broadnax, who didn't kill anyone.
TAKE ACTION | #SanDiego, let's tax the rich!!
Here's a great breakdown on #MeasureA
I'll be voting HELL YES!
(A "yes" supports the creation of a new tax on 2nd homes that are unoccupied for most of the year. If a majority says yes, the tax takes effect on Jan. 1, 2027 until repealed by voters.)
Careful out there!
"Many Imperial Valley residents have raised fears that the company and county officials are advancing a project that will strain the rural county’s power grid, water supply and air quality while providing little benefit for the people who live here."

THE PLAN for the California Governor's Race: • Do not vote early. Wait until after the debates. • Key debates are April 22, April 28, and May 5. • Early voting opens May 4, before the final major debate. • Hold off voting until after May 5. • Wait for a clear frontrunner to emerge in the polls. • Once that happens, consolidate behind that candidate. • Do not split the vote across multiple Democrats. • High turnout matters, but unified turnout matters more. I know what you are thinking. We like to vote early so they know we're coming in HOT 🔥. I know this goes against instinct right now, but this election is different. The debates matter, and they’re happening right as voting begins. We have a debate on April 22, another on April 28, and a major one on May 5, after early voting is already underway. We need to see these candidates on the same stage before making a decision. Right now, the field is split. Becerra, Porter, and Steyer are all in the mix, and one of them is going to pull ahead after these debates. When that happens, we need to be ready to move together. This is a jungle primary. The top two advance. If we split the vote, we risk shutting ourselves out of November entirely. That is not a hypothetical. It is a real possibility. So this is not the moment for loyalty to a lower polling candidate. It is not the moment for protest votes or holding out for a perfect option. It is a moment for clarity and coordination.

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.
“When we began working with informants, we were living in the shadow of the height of the Civil Rights Movement, which had seen bombings at churches.... There is no question that what we learned from informants saved lives.”

Colorado’s mandate requires that preschools ensure “an equal opportunity to enroll and receive preschool services regardless of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, lack of housing, income level, or disability.”

The legislation would deport, denaturalize, and deny US citizenship or entry to any immigrant “who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or Islamic fundamentalist party, or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.”

“The war I was sent to senselessly claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and a million Iraqis. Like the other veterans here with me today, I have spent the last two decades wishing I could turn back the hands of time and refuse to go. Service members have that chance right now.”
