SOME OF THE “NO on ACA7” PHOTO PARADE’S GREATEST HITS: I posted over 100 photos in the “No on ACA7” photo parade on X/Twitter in December. Most were tagged to Governor Newsom and to Senate leaders. (A technical glitch made a few of them go out without tags. Never trust me with anything technical.) Here are a few of my favorites.
They just can’t stop! California legislators are again trying to gut the state constitution’s ban preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity. They WANT the power to discriminate. Don’t let them have it. Keep discrimination illegal. #NoACA7 pic.twitter.com/4jIawB5CP9

The Calif constitution’s ban on preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity was put there in 1996 by Prop 209. Now state legislators want to create an unlimited number of “exceptions.” They will swallow the rule. #NoACA7 #KeepDiscriminationIllegal pic.twitter.com/25EpPCijaR

HMM: Did Israel Just Declare Victory Over Hamas? “No one questioned the IDF’s ability to ability to dismantle Hamas. Israel has one of the most modern, disciplined, technically savvy and motivated armed forces in the world. (Having enemies who literally call for the complete extermination of the Jewish race is a powerful motivator.) Hamas, on the other hand, is a terrorist organization whose main skills seem to be raping and murdering civilians and building tunnels. The only question was whether the the feckless, Iran-dealing Biden Administration and it’s Obama foreign policy retreads would be able to pressure Israel into halting before the job was done. That appears not to be the case.”
MUCH OF OUR POLITICAL CLASS IS MADE UP OF AWFUL PEOPLE WITH NO LIMITS AS TO WHAT THEY’D DO TO KEEP POWER: “If Trump can be kicked off the ballot in blue states on account of a highly debatable finding of ‘insurrection,’ then what’s to stop red state judges or other officials kicking Biden off on their own flimsy findings? And on what basis can liberals continue to argue that Trump or Republicans represent a threat to democracy when they are the ones engaged in an attempt to deny tens of millions of voters their choice for president?”
