SDPD helicopter announcements unintelligible as usual. If I want to see text versions, I have to make an X account and consume pro-ethnic cleansing propaganda. Average “Democrats hold every elected position in city government for years” outcome.

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

I cannot imagine what would possess someone to go to court and put on the record that they got mad and tried to fire a reporter because the live shot - which it’s alleged the reporter staged- had a “fuck ice” sign in the background. current.org/2026/06/form...

San Diego FC is planning a Taiwanese Heritage Night AND a Chinese Heritage Night this season.

sinister

It's disturbing, and the fact that many elected officials and local government agencies still use it as the main place to post their official updates is indefensible at this point.

Oh no

I mean this with full sincerity: this is legitimately what activists should be calling for. Not "defund" or "abolish" or some grand demand that won't work. Specific, highly-supported incrementalism works. The right does it constantly. You can too. "Make cops shooting dogs illegal." Just say that.

I could be purchasing my third 90-foot yacht by the early 2030s.

This is the way - use the power you have. Rep. Levin threatens to take away the Supreme Court's budget if they don't adopt a binding code of conduct to stem corruption. Demand, and make them tell you no. Then make consequences happen. And the public will be on your side, if they have seen the rot.

What is for-profit prison operator Core Civic hiding from San Diego County health inspectors?

Sb79 takes effect in under a month. How does SANDAG not even have a draft map yet?

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social Any thoughts on the Trump executive order purporting to ban bank accounts for immigrants?

People are in motion, everywhere.

This is the history of San Diego Midway District

Interesting to see the second home tax measure in San Diego doing so badly. At least in part this has to be down to the fact that nobody trusts our mayor and council with money. they’ve given people no reason to believe they won’t just give all the taxes raised right to the cops.

If you don’t refresh the page often enough the people counting the votes feel unappreciated and go slower

Ammar for City Council District 9 2028

I expected her to come out ahead but not by that much. Wow.

I’m putting my prediction down now: voters will reject the San Diego County sales tax measure in November 2026.

Final election predictions: CA Gov: Becerra and Steyer barely lock out Hilton CA-48: Ammar Campa-Najjar and Jim Desmond advance SD City Council D2: Nicole Crosby and Richard Bailey advance City Council D8: ???? SD Measure A: passes LA Mayor: Bass and Pratt advance

It's literally never been easier to see what readings are assigned in college courses. San Diego State University posts most of its course syllabi online: digitalcollections.sdsu.edu/sdsu-syllabus

A pro-Israel PAC has now spent over $2 million to defeat Ammar Campa-Najjar in California's 48th Congressional District. Regardless of your feelings about Ammar, this is a perversion of democracy.

New Jewish Voters Resource Center poll (GBAO): 24% of American Jewish voters back a binational state in Israel-Palestine. Per @arnorosenfeld.bsky.social reporting, 51% of non-Orthodox Jews under 35 do. Only 1% of Israeli Jews support same w/ equal rights. forward.com/news/827329/...

Adding to Tom Steyer discourse

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The manifestos that appear to have been written by the shooters at the Islamic Center of San Diego are a horrifying reminder that extremist ideologies are deeply interconnected. Combating Islamophobia, antisemitism and all forms of hate requires understanding this broader ecosystem of extremism. 🧵

Among the shooters referenced in the San Diego mosque shooters' manifesto: James Huberty, the man who killed 21 people, including children and a baby, at a San Ysidro McDonald's in 1984.

The San Diego mosque attack looks like another case of white nationalist "great replacement theory" terrorism, the deadliest source of terrorist attacks in the US, Canada, Norway, New Zealand and more in recent years. No central org, a movement of self-starters who inspire and reference each other.

A day after DHS posts this Christian nationalist message, two teenagers murder three people at San Diego’s biggest mosque, and try to kill landscaper on their way out.

I am horrified by the shooting there today. But I’m not shocked or surprised. When politicians directly target Muslim-Americans, when the media fails to check them, this is the result. My prayers go out to the families of the victims. 2/

Horrified by the attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego today. The pattern of violence against our religious communities is beyond unacceptable — it must never be normalized. May the memories of the victims be a blessing and let us come together to pray for those affected.

It feels weird to live in a context where buying a hero to protect your mosque or shul is both possible and necessary. May the security guard's memory be for a blessing.

HOUSES OF WORSHIP SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE ARMED SECURITY GUARDS. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY

Local news reporting that two suspects have been shot dead in attack at Islamic Center of San Diego. The site hosts a mosque and a K-3 school. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

Simultaneously charging for parking at Balboa Park and also closing half of the public bathrooms there is ridiculous. Maybe just close the whole park to the public and stop maintaining it. That'll generate even more revenue savings.

Get ready for more piss and shit on the streets of Downtown San Diego voiceofsandiego.org/2026/05/13/n...

San Diego County spent $1.7 million per bed to build a 16-bed stand-alone inpatient mental health facility in Oceanside. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/10/p...

Why is the Lincoln Memorial backwards?

I think taking seriously that the president is an honest-to-God deranged gangster, and every lawful institution meant to stop that from happening has failed and has no real prospect of functioning, is so unsettling that a lot of folks have just decided to retreat into fantasy as a coping mechanism.

Outstanding overview of the housing policy proposals from the four leading Democratic candidates for governor in California.

This is where I'm at, which is good since I work in renewables! But goddamn we need to get interconnection timelines under control. This is for a program funding solar on multifamily affordable housing and everything about the process is improving except this one critical step

Many people are missing: the purported Epstein suicide note released today is from his July 2019 FAILED attempt. The handwriting looks like his: compare to a note prison guards found in his cell in August ("NO FUN!!" on both). The quote ("bust out cryin'") is from the 1930's Little Rascals films. 1/

A not-meme example of actually reclaiming oppressive architecture with community art just a few miles south of that building. No AI needed. savingplaces.org/stories/expl...

Generational tweet that might even spawn a school of architecture.

Sara Jacobs and Scott Peters voted with Darrell Issa to extend Trump's ability to spy on Americans without a warrant. Juan Vargas and Mike Levin voted no.

Juan Vargas lied about his AIPAC support and then just completely ignored the KPBS reporter who pulled up the receipts www.kpbs.org/news/politic...

Well shit. Democratic Majority for Israel has endorsed Marni Von Wilpert and is spending $1 million to take down Ammar Campa Najjar on her behalf. Absolutely foolish of her campaign to accept this. I can no longer support her. And I haven't been shy about expressing how much I dislike Ammar.
