🧵: We are excited to announce the candidates we’re backing in November—leaders committed to fighting for working-class families across Orange County. Now more than ever we must protect the policies we’ve won on the local level & continue pushing for progressive change.

Our Political Director, @don_bulmaro, is a beast who built a program to talk to the Latino Voters most people declined to invest in.

The progress you are seeing in Orange county is because the elbow grease of community organizers hustling on the ground to make sure every vote counted! Great work @ChispaOC ! Let’s flip this seat for @derektranCA45 ! latimes.com/politics/story/2…
Some California House races haven't been decided yet. Campaigns are making sure every ballot counts

Some California House races haven't been decided yet. Campaigns are making sure every ballot counts

Democratic and Republican activists are asking voters to correct technical errors on their ballots in several close races that could determine control of the House.

The language the president used yesterday to describe immigrants was disgusting and dehumanizing, and entirely out of the Trump playbook.

At yesterday’s Santa Ana police oversight commission, James R. Touchstone trained the commission and disputed the “necessary” standard for deadly force that officers must follow. After being questioned, he asserts there isn’t a distinction btwn the reasonable & necessary standard

Ahead of tomorrow’s recall election in Santa Ana I just want to say this whole thing confirmed what we already knew: police unions are a cancerous, anti-democratic force in our society.

Families are wondering what purpose AG Bonta’s probes serve, besides stalling them from pursuing civil lawsuits in court.

(2/6) We are deeply saddened and disheartened by the AG’s failure to act. Anaheim Police Officers, Catalin Panov, Paul Delgado, Brett Heitmann and Kenneth Weber all have a history of fatal shootings, even before this incident.
