Finally found a place in San Diego that does burritos like I like them. Drier, not sloppy, closer to mission style. And delicious.

ICE in San Diego created an internal program called Operation Road Flare. Its purpose was to track activists who monitor ICE enforcement actions, especially those who film or document arrests in public. The documents surfaced through federal court records, which is why this became public at all.

I'll tell you why Newsom is going to lose: he plays the other side's game. You never play your opponent's game. He'll always beat you. You make him play yours.

This was so good I've been dreaming about it 🥰

A new UC San Diego study reveals that fossil fuel-based plastic pollution may be promoting toxic water conditions by removing animals that keep water at safe levels. Biologically based plastics had a much smaller impact. Learn more ➡️ https://bit.ly/3ZJqVEJ

Well-kept motels are one of the best things ever. Need to know people's favorites. I don't know if I've stayed at one better than the Joshua Tree Inn, but the Pearl in San Diego also rules.

Rain. It is finally raining 🌧️ in Barcelona. Please keep it up for a month or two!

Pliny the Younger is on tap at Fathom Bistro, Bait & Tackle in San Diego.🍻 All profits go to the local Planned Parenthood Center. 💚 Also, that elephant trunk DT glass is pretty awesome. 🐘

Decentralized electricity production with local storage from rooftop solar needs to be implemented. It's safer and greener than a big centralized corporate grid with transmission lines. It relieves the consumer from ever increasing electricity bills. My 5kW roof in San Diego County:

San Diego had recently held a city council meeting to hear public concern — overwhelmingly, citizens called for an end to the contract with Flock, but were ignored. Weeks later, the smashed Flock cameras turned up in the street. They were first reported by Bill Paul of SD Slackers: sdslackers.com

Day 1 of the CA Democratic convention: the crowd is diverse and accepting and I ❤️ it, think how creepy/sweaty/boring/white all GOP conventions are 😕 Eric Swalwell has a veritable ARMY of broccoli haired high school and college kids here stumping for him, and it makes me hate him even more

Good Morning, sunrise over San Diego…

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

I've been teaching for over 20 years. In that time, I've watched college go from a public good to a lifetime sentence of debt. The math is not mathing. Cancel state-held debt. Free tuition. Treat education like the human right it is. butchware4gov.com

They bought up our neighborhoods. Raised the rent. Locked working families out. Tax the hedge funds. Break the monopolies. Turn vacant properties into homes. Homes for families, for working people, for us. California belongs to the people who live here... not private equity.

Absolutely inspiring to see UC San Diego alumna Jessica Meir returning to space — this time as spacecraft commander on Crew-12! Read: https://today.ucsd.edu/story/alumna-jessica-meir-returns-to-space-this-time-as-commander #UCSD #WomenInSTEM #SpaceExploration #AlumniSuccess #Crew12

“A new buyer would be nuts to move the team out of San Diego.” Plenty more on the potential sale of the Padres from possible buyers to player reactions and hearing from control person John Seidler. #Padres #MLB #Baseball #SanDiego

SD Slackers does the roll up of so many of the problems with Flock ALPR, and any cloud for profit surveillance solution in the AI age. sdslackers.com/who-really-c... Dunno who they are, but nice reminder that pro-Flock City Council majority is constantly gaslighting us.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

Happy Presidents Day everyone. President Buchanan's ghost is a bit less unsettled these days knowing his memory is moving down the list of worst presidents of all time.

I'm torn between wanting AOC to run for president and the sure knowledge that the reaction of US political & social elites to that campaign would crush any remaining respect I had for anyone in this country & finally push me to that remote retirement compound I've been dreaming about.

We just had brunch in a very crowded, trendy restaurant in San Diego and no one was on their phone "not living in the moment" or whatever people be screaming about nowadays.

Today Haarerz asked AOC if "the Democratic presidential candidate in the 2028 elections should re-evaluate military aid to Israel" Good, those are the questions she should be asked. Respect. Now ask Pritzker, Beshear, and Newsom, Shapiro, et al.

One of the world’s most iconic toys was perfected in California by Black engineer Lonnie Johnson, inventor of the Super Soaker. From backyard tests in the California sun to changing play worldwide, it’s part of 100+ years of Black innovation in the state. #CaliforniaFacts #ThrowbackThursday

“They are refusing to review a new vaccine with a more flexible technology, while creating a real risk we will not have traditional vaccines for next year.” “Combined with other steps, it shows FDA’s intent to make licensing vaccines for respiratory disease harder..." This is ridiculous 🤬 #Pinks

I'm not sure why this was not bigger news, but I suspect another Google News blackout, as I'm only seeing this 11-12 hrs later There were walkouts around California, including at a top high school just a few miles away from me Way to go, kids !!!!

What are you doing about the epidemic of hit and runs in Pacific Beach @joelacavad1.bsky.social ? This is unacceptable. #sandiego #safestreets

The Dodgers finishing 20+ games ahead of the 2nd place Giants is not great for their postseason chances, but is great for me as a Giants hater

It is awesome that this Congress is finally trying to legislate. I'm impressed they passed the OBBB, and this recent budget. The House Folding Caucus are unprincipled cowards. Let's see the members of Congress compromise and legislate for the good of the country. Ha! Enjoy the heat.

TJ Sabula, the @uaw.org worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector,”has kept his job and has no disciplinary record for speaking truth to power. The working class can beat the billionaires. I’m proud of my union for having TJ’s back.

This councilman in the San Diego area has been a Republican for 50 years and changed his party affiliation to Democratic over ICE today.

About a year ago, I got involved in my county Democratic Party because I wanted the party to evolve and truly reflect the base I just found out in a few weeks, I’ll be attending the California Democratic Party state convention to help vote on our platform and candidate endorsements. Fuck yeah
