Am I #Apple blinded? I thought their CEO was a man to look up to. At every turn the company is bowing to this administration. Not fighting for what's right, only what's easier for them to keep making money.

What phone should I switch to? Computer?

THIS CALIFORNIA! Prop50 must pass! Let's all get out and talk to our neighbors!
Today I spoke with a neighbor (a reliable Democratic voter) about Prop 50.

She was dead set against it, but I was able to change her mind.

She didn't understand that Republicans are stealing Democratic Congressional seats across the country.

Talk to your friends & tell them to vote YES on Prop50!

After watching Jimmy Kimmel last night, it made me wonder about why we let CBS off the hook. Why didn't we fight for Colbert? Was it that we needed it to be hit over the head by this administration more than once to take their silencing attempts seriously? What can we do to stand up for Colbert?

My son’s elementary school in California is named after Ruby Bridges. Every year they have Ruby Day, and every year she is THERE. The same little girl harassed by racists not long ago.
She’s a great lady, and not even as old as my parents.

My son just called me on his way back from the gym. He's in college, and got up early (not his usual modus operandi) at the behest of a roommate. And he doesn't know it, but that call made my day.

Hug your kids. They grow up too fast.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
