In 1978, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors downzoned the city, banning multifamily homes in many areas and sparking a decades-long affordability crisis.
47 years later, on a 7–4 vote, they passed the Family Zoning Plan to finally begin to undo that mistake.
The times, they are a-changin’!

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza was at Logan to catch a flight to Texas when immigration authorities detained her as she was about to board the plane.

My usually mild-mannered, 2nd grade music teacher lost his fucking mind when kids were screwing around with the classroom flag and it almost touched the ground. My eyebrows are still singed from the fire and brimstone speech he gave about the dire consequences that follow just this kind of thing

The Complex Role of Slavery in Building America’s Wealth

I support funding a Truman show-style fake White House containment zone where this guy can go do his gaudy home-improvement projects and leave the rest of us the hell alone

This was built by every Democrat who blocked any effort to hold police accountable for their actions and did nothing to curtail the power they exert on our public officials and policies.

I hope people connect that the open fascism we see in USA today & the speed with which it is swallowing our institutions could only happen if our politicians had spent decades engaged in a bipartisan effort to build a healthy infrastructure for fascism in the 1st place.

It's long been my contention that ideology and aesthetics are two manifestations of the same thing. Witness Hitler's very kitsch paintings. Witness the gobsmacking tackiness of this structure

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Amazing news, and time to realize my life goal of personally ensuring Christine Pelosi never gets within spitting distance of a House seat
I'm not an expert on California politics but this strikes me as big news. State Senator Scott Wiener is going to run for Pelosi's seat regardless of what she does. Again, primaries are good. And from everything I've heard he's a serious legislator.
