This should scare everyone. The Trump admin revoked Mahmoud’s legal status, kidnapped him, and is now holding him in an ICE detention facility without any due process. Trump is an authoritarian, testing the limits to see how much he can get away with. He won’t stop here.

Not only is GOP governance worse, legit problems with Dem governance are often downstream of embracing conservative anti-government thought. Farming out state capacity to consultants and shady nonprofits, funding programs inconsistently, and means-testing all waste money and produce bad outcomes.

this is immoral, ineffective, and stupid. The conservative narrative is homelessness is a personal choice. No it’s a societal failure. www.kqed.org/news/1202984...

This is a moment for Democrats to stand for the dignity of the trans community, the immigrant community, & the most vulnerable. I have always admired my assemblyman Rep Alex Lee & Charlotte Clymer doing that. www.advocate.com/politics/ro-...

Trying to read more for fun so the first book I finished of 2025 is ‘Yellow Face’ 6.5/10 It has a very strong start and compelling meta narrative about the literary publishing world, the conflict of separating art from the artist, and how race/diversity are capitalized on in society.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down. All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

More reason we need public sector construction to 1) counter NIMBYist local obstruction 2) build more housing counter cyclically when financing for private sector is poor

Many US cities lost their ring of mid-rise apartment buildings in the mid 20th century, when highways and downtown expansion squeezed out the apartments. Normally as downtowns grew, the ring of apartments would grow outward as well, but until recently, it was blocked by zoning.

The House budget reconciliation framework that cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid has just passed. They are literally taking from the sick and poor to give the rich tax cuts.

Every Republican should be ashamed. They voted to slash benefits for the poor to pay for tax cuts to the rich. This devastates the working class

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

I've introduced AB 590: the Social Housing Bond! It would place on the 2026 ballot a $950 million bond to fund social housing via a CA public sector developer. The money would be perpetually sustainable through a revolving loan fund leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNa...

Those in office are defined by how they wield power against the power. Fremont was once a “compassionate city.” I will always oppose cruel, dehumanizing, and ineffective criminalization of homelessness
