This is insane and incredibly harmful to our leading paper in California. We want the news reported by journalists, not an AI bias meter, JFC.

LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong says his bias meter will use an A.I. patent called the “Reasoning Engine.” “The meter will be displayed atop a piece of writing to tell readers where it ranks on a scale that will range from ‘far left’ to ‘far right.’” www.latimes.com/california/s...

In Long Beach we passed laws to protect people, we converted our convention center to a migrant shelter, and we doubled down on our values. Cities across the country need to be ready and courageous. The fight will not only be in Washington DC, it will be here at home.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 14(source)

As someone who was mayor of Long Beach during the first Trump administration, I know that cities have an enourmous responsibility to protect vulnerable communities against Trump and his policies. Trying to use police departments as deportation officers is unconstitutional.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 14(source)

Before I got to congress two years ago I was mayor of my city - so I know using police departments as deportation forces is unconstitutional. We must ensure that cities and congress stand up to Trump.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 14(source)

Donald Trump shouldn’t be trusted. He lies and dehumanizes immigrants and wants to seperate families. We should fight him with everything we got.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 14(source)

I won’t be working with Elon Musk, joining truth social, or holding hands with people that want to destroy the social safety net and harm gay and trans people. We cannot work with authoritarian extremists.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

y’all realize that RFK jr is a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist right? Yes, we all want to take on big agriculture and we should, but RFK is a vaccine denier and largely responsible for a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa. He should not be confirmed.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

I totally get this, I share the frustration.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

we did a ton last congress with Jamie Raskin, investigations, floor debates, media, etc. But we don’t control the majority so we don’t control the agenda or major investigations. But public awareness and continuing bringinging attention to it in congress is critical to the fight to stop it.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

Jared Kushner gets $2 billion from Saudi Arabia for his investment fund just months after leaving the White House. Now new reports indicate the Trumps intend to continue business deals with foreign governments. But House GOP lose their minds over emails and Hunter Biden. Insane.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

JFC.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

Imagine how many of America’s schools we could fix if we just trimmed 1% of the pentagon budget. We cannot indefinitely grow the military budget year after year with no end in sight.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 13(source)

Trump, Mike Johnson, and the billionaires who want to run our government have no interest in working with Democrats or supporting working people. They want to pillage and redirect wealth into their companies and friends. We should oppose, not work with them.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

Abolish the death penalty.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

President Biden is furthering justice by commuting the sentences of 1,500 people, and pardoning 39 convicted of non-violent crimes. But we can go further and commute unjust federal death sentences. I’m hopeful this will happen.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 12(source)

Beyond the growth in spending which needs to be redirected - the bill also includes anti-trans/lgbtq health provisions which were not acceptable to me.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 11(source)

I can’t speak for other folks of course, but the trans healthcare piece was also a non starter for me.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 11(source)

Why not both?

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialDec 11(source)

This year's defense budget continues out of control wasteful spending rather than investing in American schools and healthcare. Unlike most federal departments, the Pentagon has never been able to pass an audit. We need to reinvest in people, not a larger military. I just voted no.
