Wow. Breyer cranks out 36 page opinion enjoining the feds from deploy of the National Guard in California. Stayed briefly to permit appeal. Next hearing set for 6/20.

Absolutely perfect 🤣🤣🤣

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

I finished Abundance and just started Original Sin but Tapper/Thompson quote David Plouffe on the record as to Biden’s dithering failure to get out of the race.

I know my view goes against the grain but there is wheat in the chaff. As Democrats we have been stuck in process rather than results… the weaponization of CEQA in California has thwarted needed housing. And the group think of the party circling the wagons around Biden stifled new leadership.

Excellent… that is why I’m reading Tapper’s Original Sin and Ezra Klein’s Abundance as an opportunity for honest self reflection in how we can do better in finding new leadership freed from the grasp of a gerontocracy and policies that benefit the middle class even as these books have been panned.

I’m reading this as I post. I believe the critics - mainly on the left which I count myself - are a Rorschach reflection on why our political parties have failed to pursue an abundance agenda. MAGA wants to horde scarcity among the oligarchic elite. Dems focus on bean counting rather than results.

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity:

1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas…
2) enabled by Engineering Innovations…
3) based on Science Research in Universities…
4) funded by Grants from the US Government.

It’s time more people understood this.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

We all must stand up every single day.

"If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

Opinion: Criminalizing homelessness won’t fix our housing shortage With only 100 shelter beds for over 800 unhoused residents, Fremont chooses punishment over compassion.

"Rising rents are a primary cause of homelessness, which we cannot address until we fix the housing shortage.

To make progress, the state must clear roadblocks. A proposed bill, SB 79, would require cities to allow more homes near major transit stops — areas already connected to jobs and services."

Let’s end homelessness with housing and not handcuffs.

Supreme Court blocks Alien Enemies Act deportation of Venezuelan men The Trump administration was planning to deport at least 30 Venezuelan men under a rarely invoked wartime statute before the court ruled to temporarily halt it.

We’re winning in Court every day because the Constitution is on the side of Due Process. Of course Thomas and Alito continue to act like mob judges, so keep fighting for the Constitution everyone.

HITTING THE DOCKET:

In Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals DENIES the Trump Administration's request for an emergency stay pending appeal & DENIES its request for a writ of mandamus.

Abe Lincoln famously said: “…my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side…”

Well, being on the same side as the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose is just as good!

(And locally opposed to criminalizing homelessness)

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.

People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

America, we have a problem!

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Zelensky…on behalf of all freedom loving Americans, we support you and apologize for the Mafia Don treatment at the White House today!

Democrats need to fight and not merely fight for donations to pay their risk-averse consultants!

And it begins.

I agree with you. I actually thought his 14 minute podcast (save this line) about not believing Trump was a variant of Timothy Snyder’s “Don’t obey in advance.” Your thesis and his are otherwise complementary in resistance.

Name that pundit… Ezra Klein!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I’m enthusiastically endorsing Ben Wikler for DNC chair because I know him and he knows how to win. Ben and his team have been organizing and communicating all over, nonstop, in a tough state. Tammy Baldwin won. 14 state legislative flips. Let’s do this everywhere.

Or the original owners who sold it on the cheap.. the Dutch!
