Constitutional Safeguards

Following the collapse of federal checks on executive power
Carolina contacted her congressional representative and proposed a constitutional amendment for a state-led Constitutional Convention under Article V. The goal: restore balance and prevent unilateral federal abuse when all three branches fail.

Exposing the Collapse Engine

As elite profiteering under Trump escalated
Carolina delivered a comprehensive report on the Trump regime mechanics meant to profit from harm. Exposing how deregulation, tariffs, and financial extraction were being used to destabilize public systems and funnel power upward.

Shortly after
She submitted a formal legal letter demanding a federal investigation into the profiteers. Her letter cited constitutional violations and named the legal statutes being ignored or abused.

A Budget Rooted in Fairness and Survival

In response to the Hands Off protests and rising public despair, Carolina drafted a full national budget proposal that fully funds universal, affordable healthcare, protects every safety net without cuts, covers 50% of healthcare premiums without requiring anyone to change their existing plan, generates a $3.1 to $5.1 trillion surplus by closing billionaire loopholes and taxing fairly, and ends participation in the systemic abuse loop operating under Trump’s second term.

Protecting Land, Water, and Indigenous Rights
As new corruption reports surfaced, Carolina sent formal correspondence to U.S. Senators demanding immediate investigation into violations of the Trust Doctrine. Exposing how the Trump regime’s backers were undermining tribal, ecological, and community rights for private gain and warned that environmental deregulation would also cause severe health problems, benefiting the same pharmaceutical companies positioned to profit from the damage.

Ending California’s Complicity in Human Rights Abuses
Early May, after widespread reports of inhumane detention conditions, Carolina demanded the immediate shutdown of all federal immigration detention centers operating in California. Her letter framed it as a legal and moral obligation, urging the state to stop profiting from federally driven cruelty.

Defending State Sovereignty Against Federal Takeover
Early June, after Trump ordered National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, Carolina called on Governor Newsom to assert California’s sovereign powers, invoke the anti-commandeering doctrine, prevent National Guard control under federal command, and enact emergency data protections to shield California residents.

Stopping Political Surveillance and Retaliation
Mid-June, as ICE raids escalated and Latino communities were targeted, Carolina submitted a follow-up letter demanding a state firewall to block data sharing with federal agencies without a California-issued warrant, protection for lawful residents from political suppression, and official acknowledgment of the racial and retaliatory targeting driving these actions.

Protecting Veterans from Political Retaliation
Mid-June, following Trump’s executive order denying care to dissenting veterans, Carolina exposed the move as unconstitutional. She cited Hartman v. Moore (2006), Romer v. Evans (1996), and South Dakota v. Dole (1987). She called for a California Executive Order to guarantee that no veteran in this state would ever be denied care based on their beliefs or protest history.

Defending Californians Who Choose to Protect Each Other
Mid-June, after peaceful community members were arrested for intervening during ICE raids, Carolina called for legislation to protect people who act with courage and compassion. She requested civil and criminal immunity, employment protections, and legal grounding under Printz v. United States and South Dakota v. Dole. She cited Jose Manuel Mojica, tackled for peacefully de-escalating in Los Angeles, and Alejandro Orellana, arrested for distributing water and masks at a protest in San Francisco.

Protested in La Palma Park on June 14, 2025

Carolina stood with thousands who showed up to defend democracy and resist authoritarianism. She felt the energy in the crowd and was proud to be among such strong, courageous souls united by purpose and love. She loved how everyone’s signs refused to pull any punches.

A quick note: I want to acknowledge that Governor Newsom has recently taken meaningful steps in how he’s communicating with Californians. In moments like these, clear, grounded leadership matters, and I’m genuinely encouraged by what I’m seeing. However we need to see better solutions, that don’t cut our support systems!
