I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

An incredibly welcome surprise in today’s mail. Forgot about the accompanying epistle and didn’t get through it without tearing up for all the echoes of so many recent moments and conversations.
Thank you Kelly Hayes and authors.

"describes himself" is very disappointing language. freedom of the press is deeply at risk, we need our local media to stand together. he's a journalist just like the Sun Times visual journalist who was struck by munitions yesterday.
Agents fired pepper balls into a crowd of about 75 protesters Saturday evening and several arrests were made. Steve Held, a Chicago man who describes himself as an independent journalist, was one of those arrested.

Last Thursday I went to a Chicago Walgreens and was denied the latest COVID vaccine; pharmacist looked at screen for 10 minutes before telling me they didn’t know why it was such.
No such issues today at CVS. In and out swiftly with minimal hassle.

Axios Chicago never seems to tire of whitewashing racism and fascism and it’s not a recent development.

A little miffed this morning after discovering the hard way, twice, that a new LP plays from the inside out. At the conclusion of the program the needle falls off the record.

3) no more layoffs. we're doing acquisitions though: we're buying 100 small studios and letting them loose to make cool shit. 95 of them might be terrible! 4 might be good. One might be the coolest video game you've ever seen.

I cannot begin to say how much at this present moment I don’t really care to discuss the nuances of judicial warrants vs. administrative warrants.
What I do want is to see politicians who I helped elect putting their body between immigrants and masked fascists and making clear this is unacceptable.

Brad Lander physically put his body on the line to protect a person being targeted by ICE goons, and this was the result. He’s an elected city official and mayoral candidate, but he’s also a good person. If every elected Dem showed that kind of bravery, we’d be in a much different position.

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible."
This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him.
