Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Donald Trump appears to be preparing to open up California coastal waters to new oil drilling.
LA, Long Beach and Orange County have active coastlines that do not need new oil rigs. We will fight this with everything we have.

@marnivonwilpert.bsky.social is this a joke? Where will the grants come from? The feds? smh

San Diego’s budget process is starting up again already. Here’s what each council member wants.
The cash-strapped city will consider a new approach to spending taxpayer money called zero-based budgeting, particularly on homelessness and city streets.

CALIFORNIA: THE BIGGEST ECONOMY, THE BIGGEST TARGET.
The 4th largest economy in the world, bigger than the UK or India. Tech, film, food, energy — it drives the nation.
Trump hates that California proves progressive policies work. That diversity creates strength. That innovation beats grievance.

CA deserves better than @katieporteroc.bsky.social. Very smart & tough with a white board, yes. But her personal life is a shit show that we don't need. This just shows she is unable to effectively manage her emotions and reactions, and that won't work against Trump

@marnivonwilpert.bsky.social I hope you do not plan to vote for the proposed water rate increases. The increases proposed would be astronomical. It would be outrageous to vote to do so especially given the fiasco with the lake hodges dam

Okay. Let me try this another way, and see if that works.
I was a boy with relatives in Greece during the time of the Colonels, a pretty scary military junta. Some would say it was fascist: Militarism, anti-communism, nostalgia, etc.
But no.
