Please sir I am just a small soybean farmer and a common man

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

Awful. Here’s a video of it being shared on Reddit www.reddit.com/r/chicago/s/...

"no one should make a profit building necessary housing" is one of those things that sounds based and radical... for like half a second, before you finish thinking it through

Phonebanking Yes on 50 today with the California Democratic Party! Much more rewarding than posting and lots of support from fellow Dems

I love how people vote against housing in a housing shortage based on the vibe of a building. la.urbanize.city/post/glendal...

“visual impacts”

We are still building Golf Course Ordinated development in Sacramento in 2025!? www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/n...

My local fruit stand in Davis California has so many varieties of stone fruits that I never see in a traditional grocery store even in Davis. Stone fruits in California are like India’s mangoes. Potential for endless variety and flavor, but only so many that are shelf stable.

This is a “red peach” it’s absolutely incredible and there is almost 0% chance you’ll ever get to eat one 🫤 -only produces every other year -easily bruised -much larger than other peaches/hard to pack

STOP talking trash about apples. Cosmic Crisp are DELICIOUS Gala are SERVICEABLE Stayman are PERFECTLY CRONCHY AND SWEET Honeycrisp are EXPENSIVE BUT GREAT Granny Smith are SOUR IF THAT’S YOUR THING McIntosh are TASTY BUT OFTEN MUSHY Red Delicious Golden Delicious are SERVED IN CAFETERIAS

45 minutes before I go to Sacramento's Active Transportation Commission, a motorcyclist had a serious collision right next to my children's daycare. Rumor is that the motorcyclist broke their back in the collision. Our streets are deadly and we do not do enough about it.

Oh. Huh. Hm. Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down, Officials Say www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

I mean, we don't have to guess how an outlet that sees this regime as a massive breach of public faith would cover it from the right. But pretty much every media outlet has moved to the right of Drudge.

My Yes on Prop 50 mail ballot made it in!

Just found out a friend of mine who’s not even a big USA soccer fan got tickets to the World Cup opener in LA. Very jealous and also kind of frustrated.

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

Today with the signing of #SB79 has given me the MOST HOPE EVER that California might solve our housing crisis. A decade and a half of activism as a YIMBY activist (before there even was the term) it fills me with excitement that that our state leaders like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social gets it

"Pure, uncut apple juice" may be one of the funniest phrases I've heard from a parent.

Important to remember that not only did we pass #SB79, the biggest transit-oriented upzoning bill ever, we also passed a clean CEQA exemption for new multifamily infill housing. This is, bar none, the biggest year in state action on housing policy reform in California history. Not even close.

CHICAGO — WGN News editor/producer Debbie Brockman grabbed by Trump’s ICE goons.. who then intentionally ram a bystander’s car as they peel away. More: www.fox32chicago.com/news/wgn-new...

Any other millennials get on friends text thread about how their boomer parents will do anything other than going to therapy? It’s the morning convo for a dozen of my friends rn.

Dear Natomas Landing Instagram ad makers. Your bike trail is too small and pushed a kid and their caregiver off into the grass because the pathways need to be much wider

[VICTORY ALERT] Governor Newsom has signed SB 79, which will make it legal to build multi-family housing near high quality transit! Our statement: cayimby.org/news-events/...

Mood

Governor Newsom signed SB 79!!!! Well done @scottwiener.bsky.social and thank you all for making calls!!!

A new study reveals that cycling traffic in Paris has increased by 240% between 2018 and 2023, while car traffic has steadily declined. momentummag.com/new-study-pa...

I felt like this was an open secret with people I know in the CA state capitol

The very expensive device I need for work is being held at customs. How long will it be? A day? A week? A month? Who the hell knows anymore with the tariffs and govt shutdown?

Electric bicycles, and shared electric bicycles in particular, are a revolutionary transportation technology. Forward-looking cities should be building out the infrastructure necessary to make cycling safe and convenient for everyone who wants to do it.

Voted yes on 50

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

Watch this Titans TD, TRUST ME. You cannot predict ball.

I don't think @gavinnewsom.bsky.social understands he'll be writing his legacy with how he decides on SB 79. He entered office promising millions of new homes and he's close to leaving without having gotten anywhere near that goal. Signing SB 79 is the one serious step he can take.

Are we supposed to deny immigrants into a country based on “culture” like approval if they eat rice with butter but denial if they eat rice with soy sauce?

Since “How do we win back young men” has been such a hot topic of discussion in left-of-center circles, may I propose a platform of: “Going after all the scam artists that prey on them that the GOP have aligned themselves with”

nice to remember sometimes Minneapolis just builds really nice bike infrastructure that goes totally under the radar because we've normalized it. say hello to the new E. 24th Street through Phillips.

Anyone else remember when teenagers sharing System of the Down mp3s had the full force of the law come down upon them? Oh have times changed

Made my call today on my lunch break. Please call y’all!

Post you from a different era

There is a HWAK or red light signal for cyclists and pedestrians to cross the neighborhood stroad. There’s an argument right now on our neighborhood Facebook group if you’re supposed to treat it like a stop sign or not. Sadly, a woman was killed there before the signal was installed.

“Update on possible deployment of federal forces” is not an email I ever imagined I’d get from my kid’s college

Do we have an Aid program? Maybe send it to countries where there's food insecurity. Even brand it. United State of America's Aid? Is USAAID taken?

As a parent of two boys under 3 years old, its scary to see how our roads and drivers in Sacramento function. www.sacbee.com/news/local/h...

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.
