Mike Schaefer is running? The 87-year-old disgraced slumlord Mike Schaefer is running?

This is excellent.

California ranked choice voting when?

The task of replacing these will keep one of San Diego’s largest employers busy for a while.

Mahmoud Khalil understands this point better than some people on here.

The same strategic mastermind who bankrupted his own casino!

Some are calling for renaming San Diego's Cesar E. Chavez Parkway to Chicano Park Boulevard, which I think is a pretty cool alternative www.axios.com/local/san-di...

San Diego rents dropped 5.6% for 1-bedroom homes, while listings rose 15%. Proof that supply works. Yet, at $2,200 median, affordability remains out of reach for many. That's why we need to build more and faster. www.kpbs.org/news/economy...

Ramona, Calif. tied its all-time record high temperature for April on March 20, 2026.

Stumbled upon the Sketch Night drawing meetup at The Whistle Stop in South Park. So cool!

I talked to a lot of veterans and even some Reservists over the last week or so. There's a consensus that I think is evident in the story. www.kpbs.org/news/militar...

What the fuck

Juliana Stratton's win tonight confirms this as the most memorable ad of 2026 so far. Really did cut through. www.youtube.com/watch?v=svuh...

The San Diego City Council just concluded FOUR HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES of public comment on a resolution to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

A lot of people were pissed that Gavin closed the 5, and then this happened.

Deeply moving video. El-Sayed links Ayman Ghazali's loss of his family in immoral Israeli air strikes with his immoral decision to attack a synagogue in the United States, without in any way justifying it. "Hurt people hurt people." He was hurt, and he took that out on people who didn't deserve it.

Props to my Congressmember @sarajacobs.house.gov!

when you’re arguing about politics here on bluesky just remember there’s a young sheldon spinoff called george and mandy’s first marriage that’s watched by millions of people

LA's "mansion tax" was, for some ridiculous reason, written to apply to apartment buildings, and this is the predictable result.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Unconstitutional regime change wars are A-OK with @vargas.house.gov!

Going to bike to San Diego airport tomorrow, will report back my experience.

Vargas? Juan Vargas of San Diego?

Government Surveillance 🤝 Corporate Surveillance

El Cajon's plan to buy Parkway Plaza is one of the more interesting things happening in local government right now. One issue though: wouldn't this mean a huge loss of property tax revenue? www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/03/03/e...

Finally! 🎉

I keep thinking about drunk driving penalties in Latvia (BA limit .05, .02 for new drivers). As of 2022, if you're caught with a BAC of .15 or refuse a test, your car is confiscated & either auctioned or donated to Ukraine. This new policy has (unsurprisingly) reduced DUIs

The 175 parking spaces at this 2 acre park is costing the city $35M. The total project cost was $83M. $200k/spot. 42% of the total project cost. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/02/23/c...

Kill someone driving drunk and drive off? Don’t worry you can keep your job as a TRAFFIC ENGINEER. Shameful @caltrans.bsky.social timesofsandiego.com/crime/2026/0...

OMG he is claiming the power to control what colors the County building is lit with?

Because Strong Mayor worked out so well for the city…

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

Just learned that San Diego will receive $5m from then state of CA for community-based violence prevention. I worked on the first iteration of this program and am over the moon that it will continue. The community partners working on it are the best of the best. Huge congrats to all involved.

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

How is he still doing this?!

The hospitals were in an extremely dire state already. Having to wash and re-use nitrile gloves was just one small example I saw with my own eyes in December 2023. Barbaric is an appropriate term to describe this new policy of blocking all fuel to Cuba.

A thing I learned when visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau last summer is that the dormitories were actually pre-fabricated horse stables. Built to house 50 horses, each one housed 500 or more people.

I was blocked from entering Otay Mesa Detention Center today to conduct oversight after receiving concerning allegations about conditions there. We've heard reports that detainees are throwing notes over the fences asking for help. What are they trying to hide here? What are they doing?

San Diego Democratic Rep. Juan Vargas has been refused entry into the Otay Mesa Immigrant Detention Center. He sought to inspect after reports of substandard conditions. He's previously been allowed in. "Something has changed," he says.

Detainees at the Otay Mesa immigrant jail in San Diego have resorted to throwing notes over the wall to activists. They can work for $1 per day to pay for one $5 phone call. Some have been there for over a year. lataco.com/captive-lotion-bottle-note

What is the San Diego Politics Show?

El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells tells blatant lies about protesters being paid $80,000 - $120,000 per year to protest. www.instagram.com/reel/DUPWABm...

A mansion tax is smart, but Measure ULA is dumb. Every city in California will pay the consequences if LA can't quickly figure out how to exempt apartment buildings from their sloppy mansion tax.
