California is expanding California Highway Patrol teams in key regions to bring down crime.
We've seen what success looks like when investing in strategic community partnerships, and with this next phase, we're continuing the work to improve public safety throughout the state.

Do we think the American left has been ineffectual as a result of our respect for individual rights and identities? Where the right seems to unite under schemes of control (maybe excluding this coercive authoritarian regime), the left hasn't codified individual rights, and that's where the work is.

Calling super friends! Early stage formulating a non-profit - democratic integrity, community org, constitutional renewal, and social safety net space. Hacktivists, coders, creators, non-profit work (donor solicitation esp), this means you. For fixing big issues in a non-partisan way. Repost pls!

What if all these pundits are - while saying what we feel - only draining heat from the fire? Colbert - “Go fuck yourself,” South Park - small cock. And we craft sharp witticisms against the build-up. Are these forms of release drawing pressure away from where it belongs? We need. To. Organize.

What about loving for what we believe in? Building for what we believe in?
What if the collapse is already here - and this shift is the way out?

Collapse isn’t failure. It’s physics.
Come with: I trace the flareout of empire, illusion of legacy campaigns, and our hunger for care-based systems with staying power.
The ship’s rigged - maybe it’s dry-dock time.
