New vocabulary of the week:
(Repeat after me?)

Election Rigging Response Act (CA Proposition 50)

It’s a response to offset the electoral power grab in Texas.

It’s waiting for the referendum(Nov.4)

Thank you, Gov. Newsom, for the swift move.

After President Biden left office,Democrats lost their balance.
No clear voice, no strong center.
But that’s changing.
Newsom isn’t just talking — he’s doing the work.
We haven’t lost because of GOP strength.
When we’ve lost, it’s been from within.
2026 is in play.
2028? Newsom’s still in play.

For everyone who doesn’t want to vote for Newsom then you might as well vote for whoever the MAGA candidate will be! Is he perfect? No. But nobody is. 💯💯💯

For the life of me I can’t understand why the rest of the Democratic Party hasn’t seized on Newsom’s strategy.

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

Just read "John and Paul" by @ianleslie.bsky.social. A fantastic biography of Lennon and McCartney delving into what drove them rather than what just happened. Made me revisit the back catalogue and hear old favourites anew.

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

I have spent today mainly getting stuff wrong. But people have been very cheering. This splendid rosemary from @artefactual.bsky.social is wonderfully soothing. I may cocktail it at some point but for now it is a cooling room freshener

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.
