Well. Another year, another social media application...I guess 🤷🏽♂️
At any rate, I made the call to mothball the "micro-blogging" account over at the website formerly known as Twitter.
Finally decided to set this up. We'll see how long this lasts.

This is not a deal, it’s a surrender to Trump. Senate Democrats should reject this plan that does nothing to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. I’ll be a HELL NO in the House.

You know, I should be shocked at this behavior…but I’m really not anymore.
At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

There aren’t enough words to adequately describe all of the achievements and the accolades that Speaker Emerita @pelosi.house.gov deserves for her powerful career in Congress representing San Francisco these past 39 years.
Thank you for your service to San Francisco and our nation. 💙

It will be amusing to see the few remaining left-NIMBYs in the Bay try to explain this
New York completely rejected left-NIMBYism today. we elected a socialist pro-housing mayor, and passed pro-housing ballot measures with a diverse coalition that was strongest in the Bronx, winning every borough by double digits (except the MAGA NIMBYs Staten Island)

YO, SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, YOU LISTENING?
Affordability is *the* message every Democrat needs to focus on right now, and the populism + abundance framing is exactly how they should do it.

Affordability, affordability, affordability: Democrats’ new winning formula
From a democratic socialist in New York to moderates in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats found success by focusing on the cost of living — not culture wars.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Excellent stuff. I might not agree with 100% of what Zohran Mamdani is proposing policy wise, but he was far and away the better choice compared to the atrocious candidate that Cuomo was.

The President is openly defying a court order just to rip food away from starving families. So much for the rule of law. So much for basic humanity. This cruel, lawless man is hell-bent on inflicting pain on the American people—because that’s all he knows how to do.

Trump isn't even on the ballot today and he's still pushing baseless conspiracy theories to undermine confidence in our elections.
But Californians are having none of it.
