Immigrants make our country great. I can no longer be a clinical psychologist and stand by. Watching entire communities of people live in terror. Whether you are an immigrant, or a trans person, or a gay person - or all of the above - This administration does not speak for every American. You are loved your valued and you matter. This administration is destroying our country.

ICE is killing people, disrupting our educational systems, causing paralyzing fear among millions of wonderful families.

Trump is destroying our country.

Let me be clear: F ICE. F Donald Trump.

Trans people shape culture, history, and change.

Across generations, trans communities create art, build movements, and expand what’s possible. Our lives carry wisdom, creativity, and power, and they continue shaping the world we share. 💜

Happy New Years! Thank you to every single person who sent a postcard, came to a community coffee, wrote a letter, emailed a board member, donated to us, came to a board meeting, signed a petition, attended a protest, spoke even if your voice shook. Together we made it known Redlands stands together for community and against discrimination.
2026 we take the Redlands board back!

Statement from the Redlands Area Democratic Club Executive Board, calling for immediate action in Congress, specifically to our California delegation.
Alex Padilla Rep. Pete Aguilar

Full text:
We, the Executive Board of the Redlands Area Democratic Club, call upon our duly elected California representatives in the Senate and House to take all possible and immediate steps to hinder, slow, and—with the tools on hand—stop the illegal actions of the current administration.

We realize that Democrats are the minority party in both bodies of Congress. Nevertheless, we are not helpless. Politics as we once knew them in the US are gone, and pretending that a return to the past is still around the corner if we are measured and say the magic words is delusional.

Also, another social media post or tweet (for those still on the child sexual abuse materials-energized platform known as X) or s***t is insufficient. Nor are public statements with words such as “troubled,” even when “very” is used in front of them, adequate.

The American people need to see our electeds fighting for our democracy and our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that includes freedom from starting World War III.

We are calling on you to immediately (in the House) draw up articles of impeachment and (in the Senate) support Democrats in the House for doing so by your voices and by your presence as a caucus on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Take control of the national conversation. Make vulnerable Republicans uncomfortable. Support Americans who are peacefully getting out on the streets in towns and cities large and small, in both red states and blue states.

In South Korea, the members of their legislature literally scaled walls to get into their chamber and stop an authoritarian takeover. The Democrats in the US Congress are not remotely approaching that level of commitment. And, yes, Republicans took the same oath to the US Constitution and should join you. That the vast majority refuse to do so is destroying our constitutional republic.

January 6, 2021 is ongoing. November is too late. We need action now. Anything less is appeasement.

The Redlands Area Democratic Club stands with the people of Minneapolis and the family of Renee Nicole Good, who was deliberately murdered today by Trump's and Noem's ICE regime agents.

Say. Her. Name.
None of us are safe.

“My child deserves to express themselves without fear of judgement or any limitation.”

This affirmation for parents of LGBTQ+ youth, by Rebecca Minor, LICSW (.specialist), holds so much power.

Parenting an LGBTQ+ child often means navigating fear that doesn’t belong to our kids — fear created by a world that too often misunderstands, limits, or tries to control who they are. But our homes don’t have to reflect that world.

Our children deserve:
✨ Safety
✨ Freedom
✨ Joy
✨ Room to grow, explore, and become who they already are

When we affirm our trans kids, we are protecting their right to live fully and honestly. We are saying: You don’t have to shrink here. You don’t have to hide. You don’t have to earn your worth.

Let this be a reminder to parents everywhere:
Your love matters.
Your support matters.
Your courage creates space for your child to breathe.

And that can change everything.
