We spend a lot of time talking about breaking down our internal silos -- in our organization that has five paid staff.

Youโve gotta use AI because itโs the future. But also itโll take your job. But also itโll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also itโll end humanity soon. But also youโll get left behind if you donโt use it right now.

By our very own @ryanjbell: Pasadena renters won #rentcontrol and just-cause protections. Now landlords are trying to roll them back. Don't be fooled by landlord-backed ballot measures that claim to "protect" tenants while gutting tenant protections.

This is just embarrassing. I have little hope that Becerra will improve just about any of CA's many, many problems.
Almost everyone who worked with him in the Biden admin had a negative opinion of his work ethic and basic competence. And now heโs basically not even campaigning.
Visit Xavier Becerra's campaign website and you'll find attacks on Tom Steyer and messaging about voting in a primary that ended 10 weeks ago.

This is very obviously true and what it hints out but doesnโt explicitly state is that the very premise shifts the moral burden away from those with power to those without it, from the oppressor to the oppressed. No one forced Biden/Harris to take their genocidal position.
Ta-Nehisi Coates rejects blaming voters who wouldnโt back Kamala Harris over Gaza for her loss to Trump in 2024, saying many were asked to vote for a Democratic administration enabling a genocide against their own families.
โThatโs you. Thatโs not me. And thatโs not who I want to be,โ he said.
He drew a historical parallel: Black Americans didnโt accept being sacrificed for Franklin Rooseveltโs New Deal, whose Social Security and housing programs were written to exclude most Black workers in order to win Southern votes, and Frederick Douglass pressured and publicly criticized Abraham Lincoln through much of the Civil War, warming to him only late.
The author of The Case for Reparations added, โIf we get access to any sort of power, we canโt do what was done to us.โ
Stop the #sneakyrepeal!
This signature gatherer claims Pasadena rent control expires on Sept 30. The opposite is true! This landlord-backed petition would end rent control. Don't sign! Stop the #sneakyrepeal

Were you lied to?
If you signed the landlord petition thinking it was FOR rent control and would like to remove your signature, you can do it easily using this form!

At this point "Abolish ICE" is setting the bar way too low, "Punish ICE" establishes a much better baseline going forward

Lindsey Graham's death kinda feels like we got a free appetizer because our entrees were taking a long time. ๐ค

She is so unbelievably sleazy and racist. A totally dead-eyed hatchet person with zero shame or perceivable political principles beyond protecting her corporate donors.

Adams gets flattened by Bosnia's players not even making a play on the ball, not even a yellow card. Halogen incidentally steps down on a foot, video replay and red card given. Absolutely bogus call. This officiating crew has had it in for us from the start.

Congratulations to Melat Kiros on her extraordinary victory in Colorado over a 30-year incumbent House member.
The tide is turning.
Americans are tired of status quo politics.
They want representatives in Congress who will stand up to oligarchy and fight for working families.
