It feels like things are very combustible right now. People are pissed! This is the turnout outside of City council chambers in Carp (which were also packed wall to wall) on Thursday.
Large crowd of a few hundred people watching a city council meeting on a TV outdoors adjacent to Carpinteria city hall.

I just realized this is on a 6 month old thread. But nevertheless, my goose was already cooked.

Happy to see my local paper in Carpinteria posted my letter on Gavin Newsom's attempt to score cheap political points being a transphobe. Shout out to local electeds and community orgs like @sbtan.bsky.social for their leadership on LGBTQ+ folks rights!

www.coastalview.com/opinion/supp...
Headline: Supporting Trans Rights Body Text: I want to commend the CVN and Ryan Cruz for the piece “Addressing a non-problem in women’s sports” (CVN Vol. 31, No. 26). Cruz rightly identifies the supposed crisis of trans athletes in women’s sports as a non-issue. It’s worth picking up a thread Cruz highlights in the perpetuation of this moral panic — Governor Gavin Newsom’s sudden move to join President Trump and the far-right in demonizing trans people. For those baffled by Governor Newsom’s seemingly abrupt turn, it’s instructive to understand the governor’s approach as tied to his presidential aspirations. Newsom approaches LGBTQ+ people not from the perspective of a minority community with rights to be protected, but as props to fuel his political future. Newsom’s stance against trans rights now is consistent with his once bold support of marriage equality in 2004 — the governor hopes to ride the wave of public opinion to higher office; the consequences for LGBTQ+ people are an afterthought. Fortunately, there are signs of real leadership and sincerity in addressing the needs of LGBTQ+ people locally. County Board Chair Laura Capps and Carpinteria’s own Supervisor Roy Lee championed a resolution defending the rights of LGBTQ+ people as the first piece of board business in 2025, a resolution that passed unanimously. Board Chair Capps and other local elected officials from across the county showed up in support of the Transgender Unity March hosted by the Santa Barbara Transgender Advocacy Network earlier this month. Despite legal gains in recent decades, access to equal rights and protections for LGBTQ+ people in America have remained tenuous. This situation will likely deteriorate under increasingly violent rhetoric from the MAGA movement. We can fight back against this reactionary swing by amplifying voices in our local community that stand for justice and freedom for all Americans. By: Jack Mohr, Carpinteria

He does have a type!
Kimberly Guilfoyle and her then-husband, Gavin Newsom, sprawl on Ann Getty's rug in San Francisco in 2004 for a photo with a story in Harper's Bazaar. It looks like two ballroom dancers sliding into home plate.

A fairly succinct explanation of how social murder operates in the context of American healthcare
People are dying. Evil has become institutionalized. Corporations make billions of dollars off the pain, suffering, death, and anguished cries in the night of millions of Americans. We entered into an agreement for healthcare with a legally binding contract that promised care commensurate with our insurance payments and medical needs. Then UnitedHealthcare changes the rules to suit their own profits. They think they make the rules, and think that because it’s legal that no one can punish them. They think there’s no one out there who will stop them.

I love that this folksy fisherman has a regular column for a local news outlet. 2 pts for local journalism.
Circular profile picture of a man with a large, grey mustache, steely gaze and a black cowboy hat lined with what look like shark teeth. Biography reads: Capt. David Bacon Capt. David Bacon is a boating safety consultant and expert witness, with a background in high-tech industries and charter boat ownership and operation. He teaches classes for Santa Barbara City College and, with a lifelong interest in wildlife, writes outdoors columns for Noozhawk and other publications. The opinions expressed are his own.

One day JD Vance is walking down the street when a sign piques his interest...
Store front with a sign that says "Sofa U Love, Custom Collection," with a heart for the Onion sofa. JD Vance is salivating out of frame.

I love that they give little stickers of their logo that say, "I came, I rode, I tooted". I've had this one on my phone case since a kid's birthday a few years back.
A happy little yellow cartoon boat sails through a harbor. One ring of text around it reads "Lil' Toot Junior Captain", and a smaller inscription reads, "I Came, I Rode, I Tooted....!"
