The majority of Black and Brown people who live in the U.S. reside in the South. Views like this expressed by Peter Wagner only serve to dehumanize & dismiss folks who are anything other than white. In the words of one of my hometown’s most talented artists, “South got something to say.”

CURRENT AFFAIRS This is not just immoral and unbecoming of a self-described "progressive' but also demonstrates a flimsiness of conviction. We should want a leader who listens to public criticism but doesn't compromise his convictions to appeal to everyone. Newsom's history shows us not a recipe for successful governance but a recipe for the same sort of fecklessness that was one of the defining features of Biden's presidency. -Stephen Prager Photo of Newsom destroying camp where unhoused people were living

…
CURRENT AFFAIRS He did not take a side in 2020 when Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart spent more than $224 million to help pass Proposition 22, a ballot measure that allowed them to reclassify their employees as independent contractors, which has led to depressed driver wages and fewer benefits. And after the death of Dianne Feinstein, Newsom nominated as her replacement Laphonza Butler, a former lawyer for Uber who advised the company as it fought the right of its employees to organize. Newsom also approved nearly 1,000 new drilling permits in 2023. The majority of these are within 3,200 feet of homes, schools, parks, and healthcare facilities-areas he'd pledged to protect. He also sided with Republicans and business lobbyists to oppose Proposition 30, a failed measure that would have increased the personal income tax on those making $2 million or more per year by 1.75 percent to pay for electric vehicle programs and help fight wildfires. On the most existential issue of our time-climate— Newsom has hindered even modest proposals. -Stephen Prager CURRENT AFFAIRS And though Newsom is framing himself as a leading liberal crusader in the culture wars, he also vetoed many bills that would have improved reproductive freedom and civil rights. He nixed a bill that would have placed free condoms in schools and prevented retailers from refusing to sell them to young people. Newsom vetoed a law that would have required judges to take parents' affirmation of their children's gender identity into account when ruling in custody cases, an increasingly important protection as a manufactured panic over transgender children becomes a more common subject of right-wing propaganda. He also vetoed a bill that would have decriminalized the possession of certain psychedelics, including psilocybin mushrooms, mescaline, and DMT, even though they have been decriminalized in Oregon and Colorado and have been found to improve the mental health of veterans, who have been at the forefront of legalization efforts. -Stephen Prager CURRENT AFFAIRS For much of his career, Newsom has made a public show of supporting the sweeps of homeless encampments. These kinds of sweeps don't solve homelessness, but they do make life even harder for people who already have nowhere to go (even the term 'sweeps' is quite a tame euphemism for the violence they often entail). For example: in 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department—on the order of then-Mayor Eric Garcetti— descended upon a large encampment in Echo Park to evict the nearly 200 people who'd taken residence in tents there amid the Covid pandemic. Hundreds of riot police destroyed their camp and confiscated property. Meanwhile, nearly 200 people-including peaceful protesters and journalists— were arrested while many were beaten and some reporters were shot with rubber bullets. Newsom, meanwhile, suggested the raid was a compassionate decision because it would force homeless people to make better decisions. -Stephen Prager CURRENT AFFAIRS Newsom's obsession with appearing moderate leads him to reject policies that go against his stated principles as a 'progressive Democrat.' Just like Biden made a show of cruelty at the border to assuage criticisms that he is soft on immigration, Newsom appears eager to show the broader public, whom he'll have to persuade if he wants to be president, that he is tough on the scourge of homelessness and won't cave to those greedy unions and shrieking environmentalists in spite of his effete liberal image. - Stephen Prager

Current Affairs posted these on IG with a piece from 2023
CA Gavin Newsom is Not Progressive His record is one of austerity, broken promises, and deference to corporate donors CURRENT AFFAIRS Gavin Newsom is clearly getting his hair perfectly slicked for 2028. He is often framed as one of America's most prominent progressives, but throughout his time as governor, he has held back legislation that would have addressed the housing crisis, improved healthcare coverage, and expanded the rights of labor unions. And even in the realm of social liberalism, where he previously acted as a trailblazer, he has left quite a bit to be desired. -Stephen Prager CURRENT AFFAIRS Newsom vetoed two housing bills that could have gone a long way toward solving the state's homelessness and housing affordability crises. He struck down three healthcare expansions: one that would have expanded perinatal care coverage under the state Medicaid plan, another that would have capped insulin co-payments at $35, and another that would have required all health insurers in the state to cover hearing aids for people under age 21. He shot down a bill that would have increased juror pay for low-income residents from $15 to $100 per day in more counties (the plan already exists in some). -Stephen Prager CURRENT AFFAIRS Newsom also vetoed numerous bills supported by California's labor movement. He rejected a Teamsters-supported law banning driverless trucks. He vetoed a bill that would have leveled the playing field in contract negotiations by allowing for striking workers to collect unemployment insurance. He vetoed bills that would have banned employers from retaliating against employees for honoring picket lines. He vetoed a law that would have expanded OSHA protections to domestic laborers who do not currently qualify for them, another that would have required the California State University system to provide paid family leave to its employees, and another that would have expanded worker's compensation benefits for 'certain nurses, psychiatric technicians, and various medical and social services specialists.' -Stephen Prager

bookersquared @ 15m The Black woman in green is Angel Carroll, the woman to her right is Megan Thuy, and the woman to her left is Jessica Cohen ). The woman on the far right is Texas state senator, Molly Cook, so she was not arrested. Angel is President of the Black Austin Democrats. I am waiting on more info for what resources are needed to help these women. Sidenote: I'm not shocked that it's all women getting arrested for standing up against Texas tyranny. 1/2

Don’t be like Jeffries- make sure you’re up to date on what’s important on the hill. Especially when it’s just four (4) pages long like this War Powers Resolution
Thomas Massie (Original Signature of Member) 119TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. CON. RES. _ Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. MASSIE (for himself and for Mr. Khanna) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Directing the President pursuant to section S(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

(3) Section S(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)) states that "at any time that United States Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by the President if Congress so directs." SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF THE USE OF UNITED STATES FORCES FOR HOSTILITIES AGAINST THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OR IRAN. (a) TERMINATION.-Pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), Congress hereby directs the President to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran. (b) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.-Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack SEC. 3. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION REGARDING INTELLIGENCE SHARING Nothing in this joint resolution may be construed to influence or disrupt any intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities relating to threats in or emanating from Iran conducted by, or in conjunction with, the United States Government involving (1) the collection of intelligence; (2) the analysis of intelligence; or (3) the sharing of intelligence between the United States and any coalition partner if the President determines such sharing is appropriate and in the national security interests of the United States. SEC. 4. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION REGARDING NO AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE.
