My impression is that polling data data suggests Democratic voters are somewhat consistent between administrations on Middle-East policy whereas Republican voters are more hawkish when they control the presidency.

One such example from 2017:
www.axios.com/2017/12/15/r...
A new Washington Post-ABC poll on President Trump's missile strike in Syria has an interesting partisan breakdown when compared to hypothetical support for strikes by President Obama in 2013: Democratic support: 38% support in 2013, 37% support in 2017 Republican support: 22% support in 2013, 86% support in 2017 Why it matters: Overall, 51% of Americans support Trump's strike, but that majority is due to the massive swing in support among Republican voters. A better look at how the strike affected Trump's support: Gallup's daily approval ratings show POTUS gained a single point since Thursday.

Just so folks understand this person is a right-wing troll engaging in rage-baiting.

Some evidence:
* Claiming to hail from Pepestan (4chan troll reference)
* Offering to sell n-word passes
* Being excited about a blacks vs artists
* Selling n-word passes

Just block these folks and be happier.
"I'm selling n-word season passes" - this poster "We need to increase the minimum wage for only black people. Fiddy dollars per hour" - this poster "I'm seeing alot of people refer to Trump supporters as "maggats". This is offensive to my indigenous ancestors who hailed from the "Maggats" region of southern "Pepestan"." --this poster "saw this sign outside my workplace in Oakland and it gave me a glimmer of hope. The blacks are declaring war on the artists" --this poster

This is one of the empty lots that I saw. I understand there are some doublewides but these are literally vacant lots for sale.

The one close enough to jog over to and take photos of is ~141 Prospect. The other ones I saw were further north and I'd have to retrace my steps to find them again. 😅

A bit late but the Bernal Heights Community Congress is happening today (9am-1pm) and is probably a good venue to mediate some of the disagreements around this issue.

bhnc.org/bhnc-events/
Community Congress is our annual membership meeting, usually hosted in May. There are a series of workshops around public safety and the development of the neighborhood. BHNC members have a chance to give their input for what they would like to see in the upcoming year through interactive breakout groups.

"How dare you write about something other than the issues I want to talk about!" - David Crane
A snippet from the linked article from The San Francisco Standard highlighting: "In reality, good state governance is about much more than homes, energy, cures, and construction. Unless California Democrats also deliver quality education, orderly streets, and economic mobility, our state will not offer a credible example of good governance. "

More fun facts! A key part of the Proud Boys initiation ritual involves reciting breakfast cereals while getting punched followed by a group hug.

www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Immediately after reciting the Fraternity Creed, the supervising brother shall instruct to probationer to name five breakfast cereals. At that time, the five brothers surrounding the probationer shall begin punching the probationer only in the arms and torso area of his body until such a time as he recites the names of five breakfast cereals. The supervising brother shall count the cereals aloud and the punching shall immediately cease once either (a) the fifth breakfast cereal is reached; or (b) the probationer indicates through words or actions that he is unable to continue and wishes to withdraw from the Fraternity. It is the responsibility of the supervising brother to protect the probationer undergoing his second degree from serious injury. v1.

Thanks to everyone who came out to make this launch a success! Special shout-outs to our @bayme.sh friends for tracking the balloon to Pinnacles after we lost LOS and the @noisebridge.bsky.social folks listening at home!

Next up: scenic park hike to recover the payload?

Just a heads up, the vast majority of drug recalls are due to manufacturing defects (e.g. contamination, improper storage) rather than something being missed in the original approval process.
