"This dystopian misuse of location data should shock every Californian." ICE doesn’t need a warrant when they can just buy your location. We must protect Californians from the real and present dangers this invasion of privacy presents. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

CACommonCause's tweet card. “In 2019, the American Civil Liberties Union revealed that ICE had been using driver location data from local police to facilitate deportations.”

Here it is: Congress’s decision to rollback $1.1 billion in public media funding is detrimental not only to Californians, but American democracy.

Democrats: “Gerrymandering is a threat to democracy!” Also Democrats (in California): “Unless it helps us win more seats.” Hey @GavinNewsom, if you’re going to copy Texas, maybe don’t pick their worst idea.

The Cato Institute, dedicated to individual liberty and limited government, found 65% of people ICE detained had ZERO convictions. 93% have NO violent convictions. Trump must answer for the lies about what his administration is doing. cato.org/news-releases/…

"What constitutes enough harm to finally take action?" The Governor’s AI report documents the dangers—deepfakes, scams, discrimination—but dodges the question of legal accountability. Our team at CITED is fighting to hold Big Tech accountable. techpolicy.press/california-gov…

CACommonCause's tweet card. The report offers California legislators no clear guidance on how to proceed with AI liability legislation, write Jonathan Mehta Stein and David Evan Harris.

This is dangerous: The Supreme Court just limited our right to birthright citizenship, putting the rights of all people born in the U.S. at risk. No one president gets to decide who counts and who doesn’t. Common Cause is fighting back.

The Supreme Court’s disastrous 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision left voting rights, especially for people of color, exposed to unchecked attacks by extremist state lawmakers. It is up to Congress to restore the VRA and protect our freedom to vote.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom — and a reminder that the work isn’t done. Black communities are still fighting voter suppression, systemic injustice, and attacks on democracy. We honor this day by continuing that fight.
