British Prime Minister Andy Burnham should pay close attention to what happened to British Colombia’s NDP government which lost re-election after calling one early and unnecessarily. Voters don’t like unnecessary early elections, and usually punish governments who call them. #UKpoliitics

Wonderful news! @mapquest has added transit, cycling, and walking in beta version. This is going to be the business comeback of the decade.

Go for it! Splurge! Treat yourself! You deserve the double-ply.

The passage of Prop 40 in California would cause an equivalent and opposite political earthquake to Prop 13 in 1978. That is why billionaires are spending a fortune to defeat it.

I have to be honest. I wasn't convinced we could as easily vote our way out of fascism as we had voted into it. However, Hungary is giving me great hope that we can turn this around starting now. Get to the polls today! youtu.be/X8V8OKucEPc

How rough is this Monday morning? I'm not having coffee; I'm having chamomile tea.

I know hairstyles come and go and come back again, but it is so weird to see all these Gen Z men with 1972- ish long hair. It is like they are auditioning for Three Dog Night.

Dear Democrats and other parties that support Ukraine. Musk is using Starlink to help Russia over Ukraine. Leave 'X'. It hasn't been "Twitter" for years. Let it go. Come to BlueSky, Mastodon, or Threads. Stop holding on to long, gone "Twitter".

TIRED: “We need to heal and move on in the spirit of unity in a collaborative attitude of bipartisanship.” WIRED: “This time when we are going to hold these fascist, corrupt bastards and the billionaires who fund them accountable and bring them to justice.”

So… the USA is buying oil from Russia… Russia is aiding Iran… Iran is at war with thei US causing the shortage in the first place… Just how many people are being blackmailed, extorted, or paid off to enable this grift?

Guys, don't be sleeping on Kentucky. Clinton carried Kentucky twice. Gov. Beshear is a popular Democratic Governor. The Louisville district is safely Democratic But, there is a swing moderate district around Lexington that Democrats used to hold where the Democrat is now polling ahead.

Trump wants to instigate violence through this ICE surge to motivate his disappointed supporters whom he has impoverished with higher prices caused by his tariffs and war. Don’t give him what he wants. The one thing he doesn’t want you to do is peacefully vote in massive numbers against him.

If you just think this ICE surge is a only a threat to people of color, may I remind of Alex Pretti and Renee Good? Cast your ballot in their memory as soon as possible.

ICE is on a 45 surge in CA just as people start voting. Is that how Trump is going to try to elect his stooge, Steve Hilton, as Governor? Arrest and disappear people by their skin color? No due process. No warrant. Just round them up and take them away? Vote Xavier Bacerra and Democratic ASAP.

Jim Acosta and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass youtu.be/PI8bxVHZ7Ok

Los Angeles is the city and county of the angels. The Light of God surrounds us. The Love of God enfolds us. The Power of God flows through us. The Presence of God watches over us and from within us. We are divinely protected.

If a missle hits California or any other state, we already know who is responsible:: Trump, and the Republicans who refused to stop him. Vote Democratic and vote AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Save the Election Day ritual for next time so there can be a next time.

Trump specifically mentioned a missle attack on San Diego an Los Angeles AGAIN tonight. The only ones Californians needs to be worried about attacking our cities are Donald Trump and his Republicans. Get your vote in ASAP!

We can follow statewide voter turnout at the California Secretary of State's Office. As of the first day, 16,000 ballots were in. Those numbers will begin rising sharply into the millions. But the system is working. So get out there and vote early! elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/statewide-el...

Since Trump has brought Los Angeles and San Diego together, you know what would really unite us? Frequent high-speed rail trains. By the way, the #Amtrak ride between the two cities is beautiful. #rail #California

Californians, Donald Trump just let us know that we are on the decoy plane. Vote Democratic and vote early.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Michael Kearns. I had the privilege of meeting and working with him in an independent film I did called, Behind The Red Motel Door. He was out as a gay man back when so many actors chose to remain closeted. I hope he knew how many people he inspired.

The wonderful actress Eva Marie Saint has passed. She is most known for her Oscar-winning role in "On the Waterfront" and for "North By Northwest". She also won an Emmy in 1990 for "People Like Us". www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Anyone who thinks that Trump wouldn’t sacrifice his own supporters in Southern California, or anywhere else, missed him sacrificing his own supporters at superspreader events during COVID and his leaving top members of his cabinet and staff behind to get blown up on the decoy plane.

Just as we switched to mail-in voting during COVID, switch to voting early this year. The earlier we vote, the harder to rig.

If any other world lead said something like this about their own country they'd be forced to resign, hiding in a bunker or flying out to a third country by midnight, the amount of abuse the US allows itself to take is actually insane.

“Los Angeles and San Diego” seem oddly specific for Trump to call on Iran to target. Almost like Trump and his fascist cabal have given the destruction of these cities some thought.

Trump just invited an enemy we are at war with to destroy 3.5% of the American population in Los Angeles and San Diego. Patriotic Republicans would call Congress back into session today to remove Trump from office. We no longer have patriotic Republicans serving in Congress. Vote them out.

Donald Trump just said in a speech that Iran can destroy Los Angeles and San Diego. This Californian just told Donald Trump what I think of him and his Republican stooges with my vote. Now go out there and stand up for California. Vote Xavier Becerra for Governor and the entire blue team!

I fear what the return of a Bolsonaro Presidency could mean for the Amazon rainforest, for indigenous people, and rights of LGBTQ people in Brazil.

The Russian plague is coming and we have the worst possible HHS Director. Thank goodness for the blue state Governor’s Public Health Alliance. Make sure your state is part of it by electing a Democratic Governor. govsforhealth.org

My ballot arrived today, and I am excited to vote for Xavier Becerra for Governor of the Republic of California. I am banking my vote as early as possible to help campaign volunteers focus on and target who actually needs outreach and help. It is time for our Becerra Era. Let's do this!

"It shouldn't matter whom I voted for." is a giveaway that they are a Trump supporter

If you are looking for a safe place to drop off your ballot is Los Angeles County, Metro Los Angeles has got you covered. Use a voter dropbox at a Metro station.

With Trump and Republicans having broken so much of the Federal Government as part of Project 2025, much has fallen onto states. Who we elect as Governor and to our state legislature is so important. I appreciated this conversation between @mollyjongfast and @amandalitm youtu.be/zjPENWrV6aM

The face you make when you realize that your party is headed for its biggest electoral wipeout in decades.

REMINDER: There are now ONLY 34 DAYS until the Nov 3 midterm. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic. Our freedoms and our democracy hang in the balance! Check your registration and make a plan to VOTE!

An ageing Joe Biden would have been light-years ahead of demented dictator Donald Trump. We'd still have an improving economy, trade, healthcare, safe food, open Strait of Hormuz, and felon Trump would be rotting in prison. Biden's message is powerful. "Get up! Get up!" youtu.be/XfcPg1OBykM

Vote YES on 7A for Colorado Front Range Regional Rail. An alternative to traffic on I-25. @transittangents.bsky.social #Colorado #Rail #transit www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI9Y...

This video compilation of angry reactions to JD Vance begging Americans to give Republicans and Trump 'another chance" is cathartic to watch. Just how many lies and cons are they supposed to get away with, and how many "chances" are they supposed to get? Throw them out! youtu.be/ihVlitY4v-U
