Proud to have helped cast this fund-raiser for The Workers Circle on 9/10 - a funny and fun virtual table read of An American Tail with an amazing cast including @markhamillofficial.bsky.social & Jesse Eisenberg. Proceeds from tix go toward voter protection work: www.circle.org/events/worke...

Seven of our top 12 home insurers have cut coverage or left since 2022. Premiums up 24%. Families pushed out. Jane Kim is the only candidate refusing insurance industry money. She delivered in SF. Now she wants a publicly run insurance option and real accountability. Don't sleep on this race.

I'm an award-winning political consultant. Went NPP 2018. I'm voting Tony Thurmond for Governor. Mom died at 6. Dad never came home from Vietnam. Raised on food stamps. Became a social worker. 1st universal school meals program. $10B housing plan. Stop settling. Start fighting. #CAGov

Exciting Congressional campaign to watching in Oklahoma. 👇

Threads' algorithmic feed is pure social media poison. Promotion that turns humans into nonstop slop generators.

DON’T GET ON YOUR EZRA KLEIN NONSENSE DON’T LET EZRA KLEIN ANALYZE THIS

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

Imagine thinking they ever cared about debt, fraud, waste, abuse, or anything of the sort. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."

Democrats are so frightened by Graham Platner. 🦇💀

My 3 big takeaways: -We pressured the capitulators. -We were a bigger threat than the Trump Regime. -We operated at the speed and scale necessary to win.

There is no city, state or federal district where it is legal to terrorize and detain people for being brown and working in agriculture. These raids must stop immediately. 8/

FINAL RESULT of the New York City election: Mamdani: 56.0%. 545,334 votes (+99069 over first-round). Cuomo: 44.0%, 428,530 votes (+53493 over first-round). Mamdani wins by 12 percentage points.

Bloomberg out there losing more campaigns than the United States loses wars.

Brad Lander shouting “Good fucking riddance” to Andrew Cuomo is the energy I want from every Democrat in 2026 and 2028.

Zohran Mamdani! Now let's see what California can do in 2016.

Nearly half of 140 senior SSA administrators have been forced out or left the agency. A decimation of hundreds of years of administrative expertise at the insitence of the ignorant. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

1) The fact that Trump can't get rid of Vance makes this all the more delicious - and dangerous. 2) More proof that we live in a simulation because this simply can't be real.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

BREAKING: Rümeysa, our union sister who was snatched by ICE, is free today. We stood up for our union family and demanded justice! When you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. #4the1st ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

man this is grim. and reflective of how strapped for cash lefty media is, you could probably get this quite successful guy above water with like 2k a month youtu.be/vlf8c8SV39o?...

They’re lashing out against Habeas and arresting Mayors because they know their position is weak and getting weaker, and they’re panicking. It’s scary to live through, but it’s less scary when you remember this isn’t coming from a position of strength, it’s sweaty desperation.

For folks wondering how to name what is happening, it's a fascist power grab. What does "fascism" actually mean and why is it imperative that we use the f-word? (Full video and explanation: bit.ly/on-the-f-word)

"We're on a quiet residential street on a peaceful spring day, the sun beating down serenely, a light breeze. The sort of day you wait all year for. For this mother and her daughter and the little baby it was that sort of day before federal agents showed up..."

GenAI's hallucinations expose the rot at the heart of the system: much of the information economy is useless and wouldn't be missed.

Based on a quick read here, it's pretty clear to me that TWO gorillas could definitely take on 100 men. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

"270,000 of you have self verified" but we only give check marks to important people. @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

My name is Randy Villegas. I’m a son of the Central Valley, a school board trustee, and a college professor. And I’m proud to announce that I’m running for Congress in CA-22 – to fight for working people, not billionaires.

Current law allows cumulative rent hikes of 90-100% over 10yrs, pushing families into homelessness. The Affordable Rent Act #AB1157 lowers CA's rent cap from 10% to 5% - bringing relief to millions of Californians. Urge legislators to vote YES on #AB1157! www.acceaction.org/l...

There we go. Support this man.

PLANET OF THE APES was released 57 years ago today. Regarded as one of the great science fiction films and a movie with one of the great plot twists, the behind the scenes story is like talking a walk through The Forbidden Zone… 1/50

RIP Val Kilmer

Target foot traffic falls for the eighth consecutive week after the retailer ended its DEI programs. Meanwhile at Costco, which kept its DEI programs, foot traffic has been up for 13th straight weeks.

So say we all.
