Started life in a San Francisco commune in the height of the 60’s. Raised by social activists, beat poets, drag queens.
Now just a boring web developer living with a husband & t̶w̶o̶ five cats.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Victor Cruz is an upstanding member of the Hillsboro community who never should have been detained by ICE. I’m grateful that his wrongful detention has come to an end and that he is reunited with his family. 🧵

The human misery and massive death toll that came from ending USAID was entirely predictable. Elon Musk relied on conspiracy nuts rather than employees and development specialists. Rubio, who previously defended the agency knew what would happen. They chose this. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.
And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Drone strikes without evidence should alarm every single one of us. Transparency and accountability aren’t optional when human lives are at stake.
Thank you, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for saying what no one else will
“The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

In Chicago, ICE tried to seize a Latino man—but his Black neighbors refused to let it happen. They stepped in, stood tall, and claimed him as their own.
That’s what solidarity looks like: when the people say no, the raid ends there.
This is how we win: together.🔥

We have to make it clear that we will not judge or ostracize the remorseful; if there is a fear of censure, the regretful likely won’t leave.

45 years ago 1 income could buy a home, car, and an education.
Then Reagan began dismantling the New Deal and today 2 incomes can barely afford rent, gas and childcare.
We went from “we’re all in this together” to “you’re on your own kid”.
Trump is finishing the job.
