I want an Oakland government that embraces maniacal levels of population growth and annexation of the surrounding tax havens.

Newsom is a catastrophic failure on his own terms.

If you ever need a small army of dads, a good first place to look is ahead of me in line at the fancy bakery on Mother’s Day morning.

Oof, scrolling for the Roots game and turns out My Cousin Vinny is on. Way less like to be furious at the end of My Cousin Vinny.

Most people visit Loudoun when they realize that they didn’t book their flight to National or BWI

The “visit Loudoun” ads are ambitious. Like, I didn’t like to visit Loudoun when I lived fifteen minutes away from it.

1. Tomorrow's my birthday and here's a gift you can get for me: Buy a small creator's work. Local band, indie writer, up-and-coming visual artist, that crafter down the street, or whomever. Your support matters to them, especially in this economic/social environment. And you deserve some joy, too.

The fact that there's zero daylight between "pope they picked" and "only pope they would've picked if JD Vance really did kill the previous pope" is kind of interesting.

Today had some bad luck but when was the last time Roots outplayed anyone?

Absolute injustice for Sac to get three points there. They played a crap game and got gifted a win. Roots didn’t earn the win either, Gavin has this team playing like a ten seed. Noah got fired for this record and a better showing in the cup

California should outright reject that any of this work counts as pro bono. If the firms want to do the work for free, fine, but they don’t get credit for it.

My only non-volunteer role in politics was direct voter contact on Connolly’s reelect in 2010. They sent volunteers to talk to blue voters, they sent paid staff door to door to try to convince gop/indies to back him. That election was a bloodbath but Connolly held on. I’m very proud of that work.

This is why ICE agents should be prosecuted. Secret police who refuse to identify themselves are no police at all. They give those subject to their orders no way to distinguish them from criminals except taking the word of a random masked thug. The courts need to be invoked to clarify this.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

States need to return the favor. Arrest ICE agents for kidnapping under state law. It’s time to run the northern abolitionist playbook.
