Is slavery still legal in California????
The fight to end legal slavery I. California with Prop 6:
Prop 6, the End Slavery in California Act, is long overdue and both a moral imperative and practical necessity. Morally, it addresses a profound injustice embedded in the state’s constitution, which permits involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime. This archaic exception allows for modern-day slavery. Due to persistently large racial disparities in arrest and sentencing, this form of slavery disproportionately impacts Black and brown communities and perpetuates systemic racial and economic inequalities. Practically, abolishing this exception supports the rehabilitation and reintegration of incarcerated people by allowing them to choose meaningful educational and rehabilitative programs over forced labor. Ultimately this will reduce recidivism rates because people have a better chance to integrate into meaningful life outside of incarceration which benefits society as a whole by fostering more equitable communities. By passing Prop 6, California will right a centuries-old wrong and lead by example in upholding human rights and dignity, ensuring that our legal framework reflects the state’s commitment to justice and equality.
Vote YES on Proposition 6

Yankees face elimination at home. Game 5 is today. Dodgers are up 3-1 against the Yankees. This is a cool mockup made for their first match-up of the season, which correctly predicted their face off in the World Series. ⚾️ @dodgers @yankees #worldseries #dodgers #yankees #california #newyork #losangeles #la

UCLA Physics Professor Says He’s Homeless Due to Low Pay
In a viral video with over a million views on TikTok, UCLA professor, Dr. Daniel McKeown, says only being paid $70,000 a year by the state of California has left him homeless.
His video is made outside of a storage unit he put all of his belongings in because he says he lost his apartment in Westwood and now is staying at a friend’s hours away. As a result he has to teach virtually online.
He says he asked for a raise to $100,000 a year so he could afford his rent, but was denied by the university. He also calls out the administration and asks others to protest with him stating that, “tuition is being stolen” because it’s going to administration and not professors.
Both the CSU and UC systems have continued to raise “fees” in a system that was designed to be tuition free for California students. The Newsom administration has done nothing to curb the rate hikes that are part of the California government.
McKeown says in a separate video that his rent was $2,500 a month. According to online real estate sources, the average rent in Westwood is $3,700..
The average cost to attend UCLA is $34,667 for in-state students with the cost of tuition and fees alone costing $13,225.
This is a problem not only happening at UCLA, but statewide at other universities in the CSU/UC system from Chico and Sac State in Northern California to UC Merced and Stanislaus State in the Central Valley.
The rent and tuition is too damn high and the pay is too damn low! #losangeles #LA #sacramento #merced #chico #sacstate #ucla #csula #stanislausstate
🚨 Irvine Police Department 1st in Nation to Have Police Cybertruck 🚨
Per IPD:
“#The Irvine Police Department (IPD) is excited to unveil what we believe is the first police Tesla Cybertruck in the nation. The truck will support our Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program and community outreach efforts. While the fully equipped vehicle won’t be used as a patrol car, it can respond to emergencies and assist the community when needed. For over three decades, our DARE officers have driven attention-grabbing and one-of-a-kind vehicles that never fail to turn heads and excite students. IPD believes in the continual education of students and is one of only two DARE programs in the entire state.
IPD passionately seeks unique and innovative ways to connect with our community and the youth of Irvine. Officers on horseback, working with a support K9, or driving a unique vehicle such as the Cybertruck start positive conversations and promote community interaction.
We are thrilled to introduce this vehicle to our community and will be hosting pop-up events in the coming weeks so you can take photos and meet our officers. #inpartnershipwiththecommunity
