California will not sit idle as Donald Trump and Republicans take a wrecking ball to our democracy.
This moment calls for urgency and action.
That's why we’re giving voters a way to fight back and nullify congressional gains in Texas or any state that tries to rig its maps.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Trump used the last four years to turn the GOP into an anti-democratic war machine. And he is not done wreaking havoc. That is the stark reality we face. If we truly care about the future of free and fair elections, we must take the threat Trump poses to our elections literally and seriously.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.
As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights.
Or providing security for money.
It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies.
Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump Order Shifts the Financial Burden of Climate Change Onto Individuals
The change would effectively transfer financial responsibility from oil drillers, auto manufacturers and others and leave Americans to face greater direct costs as warming continues.
