The Sacramento Environmentalists™️ are trying to kill a massive new solar farm AND a 1000 acre permanent conservation easement. They call this project “temporary” despite its minimum lifetime being 30 years.

Self-described “moderates” and mainlining right-wing bullshit and lies. Name a more iconic duo.

There’s always a housing affordability angle!

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly) light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

So exciting!!

Oakland, California has the most elite task force of gadflies in the country, with the possible exception of South Pasadena.

Extremely excited for the first big idiot to publish the thought piece on how "invasion abundance" would help us topple Maduro cheaply, bloodlessly, and by Christmas

This is just so amazing. Proof positive that it's not over yet for democracy, and that Governor Newsom has the juice! Hungry kids will have more food because of this. Hard to imagine anything more important than this today.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

SIC SUBWAY TYRANNUS!!!!

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice." - Martin Luther King Jr

Heck yeah, Berkeley!

Heartbreaking: Under Trump's ICE terror, a 2-year-old Chicago girl was tear-gassed while walking with her mom-burning eyes, screams of 'Ouch! Mommy!' This isn't enforcement; it's state-sponsored child abuse.

really important element of this basically total victory is that it puts the fear of god in republican incumbents and may bring the redistricting push to a total halt

okay, that's good

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Bluesky rn

Live look at Trump this morning, whining about California

This is pure bullshit. You know democrats are not this party. Matt knows it. We all know it. He’s just lying about politics for clout and money. If we want the Democrats to win, we need to excise the Grima Wormtounges defining us as unable.

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Is someone going to write Project 2029, or are we leaving it up to Mike Johnson?

Wow

Local control makes this the process for delivering the most important, most expensive thing most people will ever buy or rent.

USA PEOPLE PLEASE GO VOTE !!!! DON'T ASSUME YOUR FAVE WILL WIN !!!!!!!!!! GET OUT THERE DIVA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

This is an amazing clip. Trump basically says that he doesn't care what crimes CZ committed, because what matters is that he gave Trump a bribe

Better yet, set up a recurring donation so they can count on you each month! Even $10 a month can make a big difference for someone who needs it more than you that month!

Hell yeah brother

ICE Agent, 7-Year-Old Both Wearing Same ‘Military Commando’ Halloween Costume

It is *so* insane to reflect on how when I was lobbying for California’s parking min elimination near transit (which passed!) planning professionals, environmentalist, some clean jobs labor orgs, transit advocacy organizations, and antipoverty orgs were the main OPPONENTS.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Deportations can reduce the housing construction workforce, leading to fewer units built and higher costs - contrary to claims that they lower prices, according to a sociologist who studies housing. #immigration buff.ly/Dfakz6o

How do we solve this problem? Do we just pass a law that says, "Okay, by 2030, all land use decisions will be made by the State Office of Zoning?" Local elected officials are in between a rock and a hard place, and I sympathize. But totally removing locals seems politically impossible.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

For years I’ve thought that if we didn’t allow enough market rate housing because we wanted to stick it to developers that someone would reinvent internment camps for homeless people. Seems like that day is here.

New Lewis Center at UCLA report by Paavo Monkkonen on French social housing. Is the cost rental and financing model upstream of France’s ability to build large number of units without deep subsidies? escholarship.org/content/qt8d...

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

The Republican federal government is fantasizing about killing non-White people like it’s a video game! This is how genocide happens!!

There are as many cranes in this building constructing housing as there are in SF right now.

According to the Department of Finance, California is on track to permit 98,200 homes (SAAR), a 5.5 percent dip from last year. 98k would be the lowest number since 2014. ADUs continue masking major drops in single-family and multi-family sectors since the mid-2010's. dof.ca.gov/media/docs/f...

Art of the Day - SB79 Shark City Coming soon to a California transit station near you! SB 79 will take effect in July 2026, allowing more apartments near transit stations in major urban counties.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

“They cheated on a commercial” - a totally sane person definitely fit for the Presidency

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

Yep. I’ll be right there.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!
