Every time I see "AI" being crammed into another consumer product I think of how in the 50s we put radium in suppositories because "the atom" was the snakeoil hype of the moment

Tired: Super Bowl Wired: Benito Bowl Expired: the ability to score anything but a field goal

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This is a fight for fully staffed schools, affordable healthcare, and the supports students deserve. As UESF Pres Cassondra Curiel said: “We want to be in our classrooms with our students… and we’ll do whatever it takes to win the schools our students deserve.” kioncentralcoast.com/news/2026/02...

One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

In 20-goddamn-18. She cares SO much about young girls.

Last Tuesday at City Council was Housing Day! Let’s take a look at some of the legislation we passed to help build more housing here in San José. But we still have a lot more work to do to address our housing affordability crisis! Sign up for updates at bit.ly/TordillosHousing

There is exactly *one* big city mayor in the Bay Area who supported SB79, the holy grail of YIMBY housing reforms. It was Barbara Lee. No other big city mayor in the Bay Area chose to do so. Do with that information what you will.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

"We like people who are as white as possible. Wait, not if they act like that"

California billionaires are spending tens of millions of dollars on ballot initiatives to gut CEQA for sprawl projects (mind you we did major infill housing reforms last year!) and to subsidize demand by creating a state backed loan program. I hate it here! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

A slopagandist can become a policymaker in the Clicktatorship

Congress has the power to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. Let’s use it.

I am not afraid. He is going to lose.

Sending strength and solidarity to the people of Minneapolis. What’s happening there isn’t about immigration or safety — it’s an abuse of federal power.

See, this is a 250th image

Watching your son murdered by the federal government and then hearing them concoct foul lies to justify his death is like watching him be murdered again. These poor people, I cannot even imagine.

This is solidarity.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

Not soon enough.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

❤️❤️❤️

This is collective care in action. We see you.

Today we welcomed Tamien Station Apartments to the neighborhood! Tamien Station Apartments represents so much of what makes for a vibrant community: safer streets, close proximity to public open space with Tamien Park, easy access to transit and housing choices for families of all sizes.

Farm workers in solidarity with Minnesota #ICEOUT #ICEOutOfMN

that right there? that's a man with a union

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable.

I will vote no on the Homeland Security funding bill.

The funny thing about this standard MAGA response to protest is that in this case not only is it once again a lie, but the people they’re protesting — immigration officers — are literally paid agitators and chaos agents from out of state.

My statement on last night’s incident downtown.

Renee Nicole Good was not the first person killed, and she will not be the last unless Congress takes clear, immediate action to rein in DHS, ICE, and CBP. The DHS bill that was released clearly falls far short, and should be roundly rejected.

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow. Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

John Birch Society having a totally normal moment.

These powerful pics are really, really good reminders of why it makes sense for those opposing Trump to reclaim ownership of the American flag. If your audience is the giant lower-info middle of the electorate--and it should be--this seems like a really good way to get to them.

lol the NYT didn’t have to wait until the goons took to the streets, The Verge ran this package in 2022 www.theverge.com/c/23055922/h...

Hi it's me, author of "Fuck Unions: Why Dems Need To Destroy Those Dirty Sweaty Hogpeople" back with my latest book, "Gone Woke: How Democrats Lost Their Connection To The Working Class"

There are those who justify their privileges by saying they give them the resources to stand up for their principles, but, when the critical moment comes, it turns out that those privileges matter more to them than their principles.

Danish lawmaker responds to Trump’s threat, says they should go after “tech oligarchs.” Hell yeah 🇩🇰

Man @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is on a generational run

Hell is watching a mediocre man with a good resume and access to resources convince people over and over again that he’s more than the empty mediocrity he truly is.

We're kicking off 2026 by getting ready for The Big Game! Check out my latest newsletter for free events downtown and updates on the work we're doing for you at City Hall.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

I joined the Rapid Response Network in solidarity with Minneapolis. What happened was not law enforcement or self-defense – it was unchecked violence, backed by the federal government. Renee Nicole Good should be alive today. She should have been able to go home to her partner and children. (1/3)

Spent the new year in Portugal and all I can think about as I go back to work today is that I was born of the diaspora of one dying empire, only to be cursed to reach middle age in another.
