Obviously nowhere near the biggest or most concerning thing here but… you’re apparently allowed to carry liquor into public city council meetings?! This is gonna make public comment so much worse 😫

I don’t do a lot of “meanwhile, over on the other site” posts, but…

#Sacramento showed up to say #HandsOff our government and our democracy, to the corrupt billionaires and criminals like Musk and Trump! I’m so proud of this town today. This is true people power.

Extremely disheartened to see this white supremacist bullshit in downtown #sacramento but I know we have strong local leaders and citizens who won’t put up with this, and neither will I.
