And improving our transit is so important for making denser housing feasible in places with a lot of jobs like the Bay Area. Without good transit people push back on the denser housing we badly need because of traffic. Better public transit and denser housing need to go hand in hand

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

Our billionaire president doesn't think he has enough money? Now he wants the US government to give him $230 million. He is looking to settle past cases, and the justice department that HE controls will decide what he gets in a settlement. This is unacceptable!

Stuck at home with sick kids, still wanted to support no kings from home

YouTube video by Earth To Eve Remember kids, It’s only free speech if it’s bigoted! #newmusic #fdt #shorts #nokings

"Down here there's laws that no man's above" 👏 amazing song! Love to see artists supporting democracy with their art, this is so needed right now #nokings #earthtoeve

"A successful anti-MAGA movement must start by winning some achievable, concrete victory—halting this specific attack on democracy or that specific Trump program—and building from there. It must bring people from fear and stasis to hope and momentum."

America Needs a Mass Movement—Now Without one, America may sink into autocracy for decades.

"If you think Trumpism will simply end in three years, you are naive. Left unopposed, global populism of the sort Trumpism represents could dominate for a generation. This could be the rest of our lives, and our children’s, too."

No Kings protest this Saturday!

The massive stakes of the big federal housing bill, explained We’re the feds and we’re here to help (with your rent).

"One provision, the Innovation Fund, distributes about $200 million total per year to cities that adopt zoning reforms and have seen faster housing supply growth" sounds great, let's incentivize more housing! We badly need it here in California

This is great legislation! So happy we're trying to serve healthier food in schools

Good post by Gavin newsom: "Trump 'Marie Antoinette' says, 'No health care for you peasants, but a ballroom for the queen!'" 😆

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Love this idea but shouldn't we have something we're specifically demanding?

America’s Zombie Democracy Its trappings remain, but authoritarianism and AI are hollowing out our humanity.

George Packer says authoritarianism in America is already here.

Are we all okay with this or why are we not all out in the streets demanding our rights like freedom of speech, freedom of the press etc.?
