so sick of this newsom bitch
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

Unclear if this is legal. Civil Code 1950 prohibits separate leasing of beds within a room; when it occurs, all tenants of the building are relieved of rent obligation.

“One who hires part of a room for a dwelling is entitled to the whole of the room, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary.”

If the news business wants young people to trust it, it needs to be honest about its failures, its limitations, and its power. At the very least it can help more people recognize that the news business is a business, one that is also sometimes a public service, and that often also does public harm.

Deeply saddened by the loss of the amazing Katherine Campbell, a friend, Black Panther veteran, organizer of the annual Free Breakfast Program in the Fillmore, and a relentlessly positive, kind, and committed warrior for justice. Rest in Power, Katherine.

of course, pro-Israel Mission Local omits the fact that the Doordash drone partner is an Israeli company, Flytrex, which has been granted special privileges by the FAA to fly beyond line of sight.

What do I keep telling you about Mission Local?

To be clear, I oppose socialism in this country. But I voted no on HCR 58 as it is fundamentally dishonest.

Words matter. By falsely equating socialism with communism, this reso attacks some of our closest allies and compares them to communist tyrants like Stalin and Pol Pot.

I went home to Southeast L.A. to cover the immigration raids there. And this week I've covered the raids in my adopted home of NC. Nothing--and I mean NOTHING--will give you hope like speaking to immigrant organizers and locals fighting back.

normally when I encounter the resistance libs up on the freeway overpass, it doesn't go well (understatement), but today was different. I think the Libs are finally more pissed off with the Democrats than I am. Maybr they're finally waking up. But they need you all to talk to them, too. I'm tired.

Was the Ehud Barak/Larry Ellison meeting before or after the inception of the 2014 California/Israel Trade Agreement?

Up close with 2-year-old Willow, the muskox munching on some tasty lichen! Beneath that fuzzy, shaggy coat, muskoxen have a super-soft underlayer called qiviut, one of the warmest natural fibers in the world.

I would encourage donation to food banks instead of political campaigns . At this point we need to take care of each other . Sending more to Washington does nothing our choices at this point are starve the poor or take their healthcare .

This one man ennobled the whole effort.

Setting forth a demand was the piece that was glaringly missing.

One of the most successful general strikes in US history was the 1934 Big Strike in San Francisco.

It permanently changed West Coast history. And built the Black middle class in California.

Whenever we lost a tooth as kids, we would put it under our pillow, and a letter would take its place by dawn from "Orthodontus Rex" (whom I suspect was Dad.)

Handwriting evidence: Dad's letter to me (I was at summer camp) at bottom right referencing "Athenian air pollution" and "Cretan history"

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
