For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

Another day, another protest. Secretary of Education was speaking in SD, and I joined San Diego educators to protest her dismantling of D.O.E. and barring the teaching of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in schools.

Thx @kpbssandiego.bsky.social for covering. We need to protect students & teachers

Now that’s a split-screen. ⛳️

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Today is #EqualPayDay. Women still earn just 75¢ for every $1 paid to men—meaning they must work 3 extra months to match men’s earnings from last year. Unions have helped close the gender pay gap. See how 10 Wisconsin educators won a $450k settlement with support from their union. bit.ly/3FDCKVX

Dear Canada and Mexico,

We’re so, so sorry.

Too much politics in my feed and not enough smoked salmon. Beautiful brunch on Adams Ave in San Diego with friends commiserating. Thank you, Bica for the balance.
