May Day protests in California.

I didn't see much coverage of rallies and protests here. It might be the work of my blockers. Anyway, here's a brief CA report.

Los Angeles



San Francisco

Snippet:

In California, the rallies were scattered across large California cities and small rural towns where Democrats are opposing policies that they say threaten the pockets and livelihoods of everyday Americans. In Los Angeles, one group gathered on Figueroa Street near Crypto.com Arena to speak out for migrant rights; another in San Diego picketed to keep schools fully staffed. In San Francisco, a rally hosted by University of California workers protested a hiring freeze imposed by the university, while another near the Civic Center rallied in support of immigrant workers.

The last "ag" forecast out of Fresno was a litany of dire problems that farmers face thanks to the orange dicktater. And that's part of deep red California. Now, the land of FAFO.
