I reviewed the language of all ballot measures adopted over the past six decades to see which statutory initiatives allow amendments by the Legislature. Senate Rule 47 provides the initial basis for the chart in my Capitol Weekly Micheli Files article: capitolweekly.net/vote-requi…

One year ago today, I became the Chair of the Democratic Party. Since then, we’ve won over 250 key elections including last year’s Blue Sweep, launched our largest voter registration push ever, and are continuing to invest in state parties across the country. Thank you, Democrats. The work continues.

#SCOTUS is misusing the emergency docket to block a temporary injunction and green light racist roving patrols. This has resulted in innocent people getting swept up, including in #Sacramento. I agree with Justice Sotomayor: “We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.” supremecourt.gov/opinions/24…

Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill" has tax cuts like no tax on tips and overtime, helping lower-income workers, but large tax reductions and estate tax changes favor the rich more. Medicaid cuts could harm the poor. Evidence suggests the wealthy benefit most overall.

I’m committed to protecting kids, including from reckless AI products pushed on minors to line corporate pockets. If AI causes harm, someone – not an algorithm – should be held accountable. If signed into law, my bill, AB 316, would do just that.   calmatters.org/commentary/20…

Celene Aridin, new @_UCSA president, tells @UofCalifornia regents that a top student priority is a $1 billion Black Student Endowment Fund to enhance recruitment & retention. Some Black students don't feel safe and are telling others not to apply to UC, she says.

Just a reminder that a $2,500 grant for California workers laid off during COVID-19 is very likely going to disappear July 1. If you plan to be in college by June 30, apply for the grant by June 15. calmatters.org/education/hig…

Rlly important coverage on how disabled UC students are all too often denied an equitable academic experience because there is not enough support on campus. Students deserve to be able to fully devote themselves to learning & growing, not overcoming an arbitrary lack of resources
Too many disabled students are losing out on the equitable academic experience they deserve because of a lack of support & understaffing. UC has an obligation to address this by making a transformative investment in disability support services.

Thank you Regent Hernandez for your leadership on this issue and support of undocumented students!
Excited that we passed a policy that allows for the hiring of UC students without regard to immigration status! A six-month working group will come back with a strategy/implementation plan. In the meantime, UC will look at providing some relief to these students. Stay tuned!

Senate’s budget proposals for disability, basic needs & housing are exactly what students need. Grateful to @SenToniAtkins @NancySkinnerCA @SenJohnLaird & Sub 1’s Chris Francis. These will protect & expand access, affordability & post grad outcomes for UC’s most marginalized ppl

Bumped into CA 100’s ED @karthickr in Davis this afternoon! @_UCSA has been partnering with @weareca100 100 to envision the UC of the next 100 years — one that ensures accessibility, affordability, and equity for all students. Excited to unveil our platform in the weeks ahead

Grateful that the @GavinNewsom budget maintains commitment to UC base support increases in line with compact agreement, but even then we have a long way to bring things like affordability/financial aid, student housing, disability services, etc etc etc to where they need to be

As 48,000 academic workers across the University of California entered a third week of striking, hundreds of full-time faculty in the system pledged Monday to join the work stoppage and not teach or submit grades until the strike ends. #caedu #edchat edsource.org/2022/with-final…

If you’ve been calling librarians and teacher “groomers”. If you’ve been vilifying trans kids and trans adults. If you’re criminalizing drag shows. If you want kids not to know gay people don’t exist, and strip their equal righra. Colorado Springs is the result.
