In Israel's hour of need, the United States must stand by its strongest ally in the middle east by dumping more jet fighters into the ocean.

Every few years, I wonder how hard it would be to take over the Alameda County Republican Party. It seems like low-hanging fruit. During party elections, many of their Central Committee positions are uncontested.

What would be the funniest thing that could send Kristi Noem to the ER with an allergic reaction? I can't decide between jalapeños and dogs.

I increasingly worry that a lot of centrist pundits sincerely believe that cities around the country defended their police departments in 2020. They don't realize they're lying. They have just completely lost the ability to distinguish casual comments on Twitter from existing policy.

Interesting that I’m not seeing any reports of the “He’s An Asshole But The City Needs An Asshole To Stand Up To Trump” mayoral candidate doing any standing up to Trump re: the unjustified arrest of the sitting Comptroller

As Philadelphia’s jail population hits a 33 year low, Philadelphia homicides plummet to their lowest level since 1967. And after blaming him for virtually every bad thing under the sun, suddenly the national press abandons all interest in DA Larry Krasner. abolitionistlawcenter.org/2025/06/17/p...

It's not just the raids--- people are dying while in ICE custody, and we need to pay attention to this. A Haitian woman died in ICE custody in Florida in April. At the time ICE said her death was "under investigation". www.ice.gov/news/release...

Apropos of nothing in particular, Mississippi Masala is streaming on Criterion.

It is amazing that the Democrats will not and maybe can not roast the administration on what is already an unpopular war. Part of it’s their deeply internalized Israel-centric view of Iran and Middle East; part of it’s that they just suck and are natural losers

They've wanted a war in Iran for my entire life. For all the bluster about Trump creating a new Republican party, the neocons are finally getting their wish under his watch. May they all burn in hell.

Trump has been negative on immigration twice; after the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and after the Stephen Miller quotas went into place and sparked unrest. This is a sign people should be leaning into his outrages to highlight how terrible they are, not running away from the issue.

Police enforcement drives overdoses because people are pushed to use alone which increases the risk of a fatal overdose, and confiscating drugs makes people buy again (maybe not from a trusted source) thereby increasing their chances of being sold toxic drugs which increases their risk of OD.

Bombing a TV station is a very straightforward war crime if anybody still cares about that sort of thing.

Los Angeles is only mentioned once on the front page of the NYT website right now, and it's a weather report.

I find it really hard to take seriously any political analysis that treats the term "wine mom" as a meaningful or coherent social category.

Truly wild photos coming in from Los Angeles right now.

The @bayareacurrent.bsky.social launch is even better than expected. Check out this fantastic article on the "abandoned" Greyhound bus station in Oakland. bayareacurrent.com/why-venture-...

It’s a BAD DAY for the Bay’s tech and real estate oligarchs, and a VERY GOOD DAY for those of us who pay rent, work shifts, jump the turnstile, argue with the CalFresh guy, and wait forever for the god damn bus. Why? Because @bayareacurrent has arrived. 😈 bayareacurrent.com/why-were-lau...

Stephen Miller is a stupid, worthless piece of shit.

Last night my partner and I were at a dinner party and, as the only Americans present, were put in the uncomfortable position of explaining what "Flag Day" is.

This is the biggest protest I've seen in Oakland since the 2011 port shutdown.

I have never seen this many people in line to buy BART tickets, every single one of them carrying protest signs. The Doesn't Own a Clipper Card caucus is out in force.

There is absolutely no reason to act like these people have any credibility whatsoever. Treat every single word they say about this operation as a lie. calmatters.org/investigatio...
