I’m not on this platform often as I had to take a break from the firehose of posts sharing WTF info like this, but… WTF. I also saw the accusation of “Sedition” and questioned reality because I wasn’t sure if it was a real post or an Onion article. This timeline is terrible and I want to go home.

I received this mailer the other day and immediately put it out n my recycling bin. I dug it back out because the League of Women Voters just came out and said they do not endorse it. Didn’t approve their quote being used on the mailer.
Fuck them.

I’m on the same train car as Frank Chu. It has been YEARS since I’ve seen him out. Apparently he took a fall on BART station stair and suffered a major spine injury. It doesn’t look like he has made a full recovery :(
I only noticed him because someone jackass took his photo (flash camera)

I will be in the heart of the Mission District due to a previous commitment, but will attempt to attend a protest during my break. Even if I can only be there for a short time - numbers matter.

There was a reason why they closed it in the 60's - It was too expensive to maintain. While it is a popular tourist destination, only the ferry company makes $ to transport tourists there & back.

I suspect that this will be happening (if not currently happening) in the central valley farms soon. I bet California has a giant political target on it from the over-saturated suntan lotion wearing toddler in the White House.
URGENT: This morning in Western NY, federal immigration agents stopped a bus of farm workers from Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms. They had a list of names, including UFW worker leaders who have been organizing to unionize their workplace. Those workers were detained.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Apparently the orange puppet has a trading card of himself that he showed off at the Easter Egg Roll. It is a picture of him after he was shot & blood was running down his ear. HE SHOWED IT TO CHILDREN. If you would like a copy of the picture, Getty Images is selling it.
