Yes on Prop 50! Drop your ballot off in a drop box today! Ballots dropped in mail boxes today aren't guaranteed to be counted.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

oh just straight up gutter racism!

The latest update from Mayor Ishii on ICE in the Bay Area. Organizations mentioned: East Bay Sanctuary Covenant eastbaysanctuary.org Faith in Action East Bay fiaeastbay.org Bay Resistance www.bayresistance.org

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

Loving @alfredtwu.com's sign at No Kings Oakland!

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Tenant Associations can now bring Individual Rent Adjustment Petitions for property-wide defects on behalf of all tenants. Tenant employees and owner occupied units no longer count towards the required threshold to establish a Tenant Association. Read full article here: rentboard.berkeleyca...

we’re also at a point where California’s Democratic state legislators are passing bills to put the 77% of Democratic voters nationally who accept that Israel is committing genocide squarely in the crosshairs of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Over the last year, the red states of Georgia & Oklahoma passed reforms to help domestic violence survivors who are in prison for harming their abusers. California was close to doing the same: state House passed a bill overwhelmingly this summer. But then it died in the Senate, for the third year.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Opinion: Flock can't be trusted not to share Berkeley's surveillance camera data with Trump and ICE www.berkeleyside.org/2025/09/05/o...

It is legitimately insane that the NYT has now published FOUR separate articles taking seriously this half-baked proposal that is opposed by literally every single person who has thought about it for more than a second

When I eat chocolate pudding at Saul's I am compelled to do a little shoulder dance, it makes me so happy.

Here are when the 17 Dems who voted against the Sanders resolution are up for reelection: 2026: Booker Coons Hickenlooper Peters Warner 2028: Blumenthal Cortez Mastro Fetterman Hassan Padilla Schumer Wyden Bennet 2030: Cantwell Gillibrand Rosen Schiff

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

🧵 Second quarter FEC reports were released last week! We have the most money in this race, an average donation of $32, and likely more in-District donors than the rest of the field combined. Here’s what's in those reports, why we're celebrating, and why we can't let up in our voter outreach:

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

🚨Federal judge orders DHS to limit “roving patrols” in Los Angeles. The judge finds that the evidence shows that DHS officers are racially profiling people to demand their papers, which all sides agree is illegal, and orders DHS to stop those unlawful practices.

Berkeley City officials have assured us that the surveillance bonanza of recent years won't be used against protesters or immigrants. Even if they belive it, how can they be so sure?

Every Gujarati African I have ever met identifies as African first, and probably Indian second but possibly not Indian at all. Indians certainly consider us African, to a point where more traditional Indians will not intermarry with us, even if they are ethnically and religiously identical.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

If you listen to the actual audio, it's very clear that she didn't misspeak. She was told she was wrong, but she refused to listen and continued to double and triple down. The least she can do is apologize and endorse the Democratic nominee even though he's Muslim. Whether she will is unclear.

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

🚨 BREAKING: “They tried to run over our people” - Cudahy Mayor Liz Live video from Atlantic & Brompton in Bell shows Cudahy Mayor and community members tear-gassed by what appears to be law enforcement, with unmarked law enforcement vehicle charging at crowd…

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

"Remaining in good standing in my professional circles requires attacking Mamdani" is not something people can say, but would have actually been less silly than what many of them have said/written this week in attacking Mamdani and/or backing Cuomo.

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Free Brad Lander

They just detained Brad Lander.

Proud to cross-endorse with Michael Blake and to be ranked #2 on his ballot. We can turn the page on Andrew Cuomo's politics of disgrace with unity.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

We are horrified by these acts of unspeakable political violence. We mourn with the state and the families. As of now, we are proceeding with the No Kings event. 1/3

San Francisco protest: ICE Out of the Bay TONIGHT (Sunday) 6pm 630 Sansome Street in SF, near Montgomery BART

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

As I just said on CNN, I’m not going to take any money from Elon Musk, a man who did a Hitler salute. It’s astounding that some Democrats won’t say the same. secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-bluesky?refcode=cnn
