No warrant, no explanation. Plain clothed men took her to San Diego ICE where she was later released because she has an asylum case. The terror is the point.

Unbelievable. The housing bill the Governor is requiring for the budget deal would eliminate residential prevailing wage for construction workers. The “replacement wage” goes backwards & doesn’t meet the threshold set for fast food or hospital workers in CA. We oppose. #caleg

UC Law San Francisco professor Joan C. Williams offers far better advice into how Democrats can win back working-class voters rather than investing in the “Speaking with American Men” program.

Regulating AI for privacy, safety & jobs should be on every legislator’s agenda. Even if the Governor insists on vetoing almost every piece of legislation. It is a top concern for almost ALL Californians.
Giving up and giving in should not be an option. Keep pushing

Governors keep vetoing these California bills, yet they return every year
Why lawmakers resurrect policy proposals that have been rejected, often with the backing of big donors.

Un regulated AI, Big Tech libertarianism, the deregulation “Abundance” agenda…
If that’s the direction of the Democratic Party, we will lose every National election.

There is a tech tsunami coming & it’s time for elected officials to stop ignoring the costs of AI to jobs, safety & privacy.
It’s not just driverless trucks & union busting we are worried about. AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs in the next 5 yrs.

Stopping all spending on clean energy while doubling down on AI infrastructure, which requires a massive increase in energy production, feels like *someone* is actively trying to accelerate climate change, extreme weather, and the total destruction of our planet. 🤔
