Just posted the following to Mr Marc Elias, please share broadly:

Dear Mr Elias,

The following is a summary of CA State Law regarding acts of terrorism against residents of the State:

California law criminalizes terrorism-related activities, such as making criminal threats (Penal Code 422) and committing acts of violence to intimidate the public or influence policy (Penal Code sections 11410 et seq.), often with penalties up to life imprisonment or death, and also addresses terrorism through hate crime laws like The Ralph Civil Rights Act (Civil Code 51.7) which protects residents from violence due to identity-based discrimination.

Key California Laws Addressing Terrorism

The Hertzberg-Alarcon California Prevention of Terrorism Act (Penal Code 11410 et seq.):

This act defines and prohibits terrorism, which involves acts of violence or threats intended to:

Intimidate a civilian population.

Influence government policy through intimidation.

Affect government conduct by killing or kidnapping.

Examples of such offenses include murder, kidnapping, assault with a weapon, stalking, and tampering with the food supply.

Penal Code Section 422 (Criminal Threats):

This statute makes it a crime to make a credible threat to inflict death or great bodily injury on another person, even if the person doesn't intend to carry out the threat.

Terrorism in the Context of Hate Crimes

The Ralph Civil Rights Act (Civil Code 51.7): This law provides protection from violence or the threat of violence when it stems from hate or discrimination based on a person's actual or perceived sex, race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.

Penalties

Penalties for terrorism-related offenses are severe, with potential prison sentences ranging from years to life, and can even include the death penalty, depending on the nature and severity of the underlying offense.

Bone spurs trump and his numerous minions have TERRORIZED California Residents non-stop since 20 Jan 2025.

Governor Newsom should bring charges against trump & everyone who has participated in their incessant acts of domestic terrorism.

Nothing in the US Constitution, irrespective of the current, corrupt SCOTUS, prohibits a State from PROTECTING ITS RESIDENTS from COUNTLESS, CONTINUES ACTS OF TERRORISM.

Bring it, Mr Elias!

Thank you,

The phrase that resonated with me and has given me success with some of my Trump family is from Will Westmoreland @westmorelandpops . Will advocates for farmers and rural America. Rather than saying I told you so or you should have known better, Will uses the phrase, "we've been lied to”. That one hits home!

Anything, from any member of the Trump administration or government agency cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything. Period. Full Stop.

It’s not “disturbing”. That word is weak, flustered, just not sure.

Get the strength of anger. It’s galling. It’s criminal. Etc.

You are too careful with your wording. And reporting. This is no time to be careful, for god sake. The writing, therefore your message and reporting needs unequivocal and loud street smarts.

Cheeto Freezing Funds Is NOT The Point Like Tariffs Another Tax On American People

The Orange Cheeto and his Nazi allies in the Executive Branch are freezing federal funds to local, state, and federal agencies on the pretense of cost cutting That is now becoming obviously ludicrous that it’s about making government frugal and streamlined The Nazi party has long contended there is government waste, fraud and abuse but the cutting of civil service jobs is to facilitate privatization of government services

But the funding cuts is a bully tactic to weaken all levels of government from local to state to federal so that these agencies at all levels become unable to function effectively, leading to loss of services for those most vulnerable and to projects that serve broad American communities, forcing again a privatization of government The crippling of agencies becomes a bludgeon to hold over American communities so they will have to privatize for funds or services to survive And Cheeto can insist that cities and states cannot effectively work without him, the strongman dictator who can ride into the rescue or take control of services This has just happened in Washington DC with control of Union Station

Freezing funds then becomes a tactic or strategy that bully strongmen use to their advantage to force privatization of services or projects Yet another tax on the American people VOTE these Nazis out of office and prosecute them

I’m 75 years old and I am a city girl who is actively out and about. I know of several people who have died of the Covid virus and 4 people who have suffered catastrophic health conditions after contracting the Covid virus. All did not receive any Covid vaccines.

I have received the Covid 3 vaccine series and yearly Covid boosters. I’ve never contracted the Covid virus.

He doesn’t want people that know the right way to do things. He wants a dummy or a crook to do what he wants to do.
