Conservative-strong Aurora City Council swings left
Aurora election results show a swing in the council from a seven to three conservative majority to a six to four progressive majority.
One of the biggest upsets on Tuesday: Aurora, one of Colorado's largest and more conservative-leaning cities, has swung to progressives.
The conservative mayor, Mike Coffman (who you may recall from his time in Congress), says he is 'stunned.'

Trump readies US troops for ground invasion in Mexico to go after cartels: report
Officials say the strikes arenβt meant to destabilize Mexicoβs government
America going to war across Mexico as well as central and South America in an imperial invasion of multiple sovereign countries is only the opening salvo of the fascist war against the world in an effort to remake it in their image. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Today in SF Supervisors will be discussing the Family-housing plan, which will let developers demolish rent-controlled buildings. This comes after a city-commissioned report found that the plan wonβt do enough to fix current issues. #yimby #upzoning #housing

Thereβs definitely some corruption issues in San Francisco. Not only was Mayor #DanielLurie busted for having invested in a company he gave a million-dollar contract to, Supervisor Danny Sauter rammed through new regulations for North Beach that businesses donβt want. #politics #licensing

Lots going on in Oakland and the people are fighting to keep the city from taken over by gentrifying billionaires who want to surveil everyone. The Vision 980 project is BS and so is Flock Surveillanceβs reasoning for being installed a #surveillance #techfascism #gentrification

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".
But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

Oakland City Council member is celebrating the failure to reappoint two members to the Oakland Police Commission. Seems like heβs basically a right winger if heβs happy this hurts the one commission with real power over the OPD. #police #politics #riders #commission

Someone is trying to get Brandon Harami injured and possibly killed by putting up posters claiming heβs a peeping tom. This stems from a disgusting false narrative being pushed by operatives working for the Bay Areaβs βmoderateβ politicians. #harassment #corruption #violence
