Not billionaires.
Not corporations.
Not private equity.

Just mom dad grandma and grandpa blocking housing.

Housing for low income people.

Because of parking.

Our message to Andrew Cuomo was loud & clear in June.

It’s louder & clearer tonight.

The brutal, inconvenient truth is that Trump in 2024 pulled off exactly the move that Romney GOP…New Generation postmortem said needed to be done.

I’m sick of bleating from losers. When winners like Senator! Ruben Gallego say “focus on peoples wallets”, we need to listen.

The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.

That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.

And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Rage and denial do not leas to victory:

Susan Collins is not going to get bumped off by another geriatric. I grew up in New England. Ain’t happening.

To have a snowball’s chance in hell, the challenger needs super-high young, low-propensity voter turnout.

Want someone else? Get you wallets out, asses in gear, and start looking.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Housing & clean energy are popular. Full stop.

Democrats should be aggressively promoting more of both of these things. Making housing & clean energy more abundant & affordable — & overturning Democratic orthodoxies that make them more expensive for people — is a winning agenda.

Sorry, I ain't reading your fascist propaganda. Go register as a Republican. Get out of the Democratic Party if your desire is ethnic cleansing of Latinos.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

If you’re calling Newsom about trans and gay bills you should also call about SB 79 bc passing that is going to help literally everyone

In 1991 I was sleeping in my car. I charmed a landlord and signed a lease for a $400 a month studio in the Mission. I want San Francisco to again welcome misfits. Build housing.

If you live in California, stop what you’re doing and take 2 minutes to call Newsom’s office in support of SB79. Building more housing near transit is good.
Please call the Governor and ask him to sign SB 79!
