the Gov is back in cocaine rehab....... STRIKE the oakland PORT if you are Sincere and real about escalating for change... the PORTS Nationwide are already SHUT Primarily on behalf of the Prophetic STRIKE that frees Leonard Peltier & our US Constitution..... secondly due to the $35 Trillion of your taxes that disappeared & the mandates...... Ships have been ordered 50 miles off the Coast so as to NOT Draw attention to the STRIKE...so for all ACTIVISTS to now converge on the PORT will be BEAUTIFUL.... "THEY" will never be "cowed' by protests BUT the STRIKE brings them all to their knees....
At the state level, California is thoroughly controlled by the Democrats -- they hold ALL statewide offices and overwhelming (veto-proof) majorities in both houses of the state legislature. So clearly, if the Dems had wanted to, they could have passed Medicare-for-all. But instead, they much prefer getting big donations from health care profiteers, rather than helping out "we the people". (Commentator Krystal Ball made a great 8-minute YouTube video about the Dems' corruption regarding this subject, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBB36JIktas )
So -- DON'T vote for the Democrats any more! (At least at the state level here in California). Instead, vote for one of the progressive third parties: the Green Party or the Peace and Freedom Party. Given their lock on statewide offices, the Dems are guaranteed to win those offices once again -- but if the progressive third party candidates can get 5 to 10 percent of the vote (or even 15%) -- instead of the usual 1 to 5 percent, that will definitely help with the push for more progressive policies.
Don't believe the fear-mongering that the Dems might lose a statewide office -- they absolutely won't, given the composition of the California electorate. NOW is the time to vote for, and support, Green Party and Peace and Freedom Party statewide candidates. In the words of Lao Tzu (slightly extended), "If we do not change direction, we will get where we are headed".
