“It’s hard to manage all this, to even process what happened. Being shot for protecting your community. I want the world to see my pain, my trauma. This is not something to joke about. This is my life.”
Kudos to this journalist. This is *exactly* how you question them – if they don't answer the question, or deflect it, or answer another question, or verbally attack you – you interrupt them and ask it again.
Hey folks, who’s watching the California governor debate tonight?
I’m looking for every Dem on that stage to take it to the Republicans, no soft-pedaling, no playing nice.
What are you looking for tonight?
Tonight, Wednesday, April 22, 7 PM PT on KTLA. Link to watch in 🧵
Seriously, Tucker Carlson is not a friend to the left. He might feel burned by Trump, but he knows his audience feels the same, and needs to keep them happy to sell them stuff. And he knows liberals praising his "apology" will tune in to hear more, and will be vulnerable to radicalization.

Take a moment to listen & share ..AI is here to stay

RAPID EXSPANSION of AI DATA CENTERS has happened & there is NO
COMPREHENSIVE FEDERAL LEGISLATION for concerns to the impact of ENERGY, WATER, & TOWNS
A disaster in the making
Friends, meet @joannamendoza.com. Daughter of farmworkers. Veteran of twenty years. Mom. And the Democrat who is going to flip Arizona's 6th District blue in 2026.
The polls currently say it's a toss-up. You know what that means? Every single dollar counts.
As we let Elon’s companies poison Memphis and drill a hole in Nashville against the will of the people…

📌A staggering 96% of the contributions spent on Virginia’s referendum vote Tuesday came from dark money.
Proof again that Citizens United has done more to wreck our democracy than anything before or since.
IT MUST GO.
Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social.
70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge.
30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation.

The thing about this is that Democrats DON'T "always fight back." That's exactly what makes this situation such a vital turning point! Trump and Republicans figured Democrats would lay down like they always do. That's why they're so shocked and angry about how this fight turned out.
North Carolina, a 51 percent Trump state

GOOD TO KNOW:
As California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra sued Donald Trump to stop family separation during his first term. As HHS Secretary, he rolled out programs to reunite unaccompanied children with their families.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
Campaign-style graphic with an orange textured background and the headline “Endorsements.” A banner reads “California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas.” Below, two columns list endorsing assemblymembers: David Alvarez, Joaquin Arambula, Juan Carrillo, Anamarie Ávila Farías, Mike Fong, John Harabedian, Stephanie Nguyen, Blanca Pacheco, Darshana Patel, James Ramos, Rhodesia Ransom, Celeste Rodriguez, Michelle Rodriguez, Blanca Rubio, Pilar Schiavo, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Jose Luis Solache, Catherine Stefani, Avelino Valencia, Lori Wilson, and Rick Chavez Zbur. At the bottom, silhouettes of a cheering crowd and a raised hand giving a thumbs-up appear above a small “Becerra for Governor” logo.
These Assemblymembers are standing with our campaign because they know what’s at stake. Their trust means everything—and I’ll work alongside them every day to protect the California Dream.

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.
The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…
🚨🚨🚨 HOO BOY. This is what I've been warning about:

DESPERATION: MAGA sent FAKE mailers in Virginia using Obama’s image to trick voters into voting NO. It’s a LIE.
Watch this all the way through, Obama says the opposite in his own words. Share this everywhere and VOTE YES.

@SecWar: The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. 21 Apr 26
Washington ordered smallpox inoculations for the Continental Army beginning in 1777.
Hegseth, therefore, is taking a mid-18th century, pre-Industrial Age approach to medicine and warfare.
feel like if they sent out covid stimulus checks they can send out tariff refund checks
Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?
Good Question! (1/3)
remember that atlantic article that pretended to be a first person account of a mother's loss of a child from measles? this is the real thing and it's brutal.
Filming another TikTok or going onto another podcast isn’t gonna win us Gen Z.
What will is giving people a place to go and a reason to come back, and letting the politics follow from the belonging, not the other way around.

Building this on the left isn’t a hypothetical.
Zohran’s campaign proved that candidates can do it and the Voters of Tomorrow team has been developing it for over a year 👇

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
Oh wow, this is huge. You used to have to go to the Library of Congress to get most of this.
