He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

There was a similar successful program in Colorado to give homeless people homes.
Much like how raising the Minimum Wage in California had very few of the possible negative impacts.
Almost as if all that fear mongering or these kinds of social programs was actually corporate brainwashing. 🤔

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

AOC has a better shot at 2028 than Newsom does, that prick already threw in his lot with the rightwing podcasters and the transphobes.
Reactionary centrists can whine about "purity tests," but fact is Dem contenders now must have spine & principles. Candidates without that will struggle in 2028.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.
