You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous.

Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.

So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

this genuinely, without exaggeration, healed a little fracture inside of me that has been broken my whole adult life
DID YOU KNOW for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized

Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral.

She was and is a real hero.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.

But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.
