Tenant Associations can now bring Individual Rent Adjustment Petitions for property-wide defects on behalf of all tenants. Tenant employees and owner occupied units no longer count towards the required threshold to establish a Tenant Association. Read full article here: rentboard.berkeleyca...

we’re also at a point where California’s Democratic state legislators are passing bills to put the 77% of Democratic voters nationally who accept that Israel is committing genocide squarely in the crosshairs of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

For Third Year, California Kills Bill to Help Incarcerated Domestic Violence Survivors - Bolts Advocates in California have pushed for relief for people convicted of harming their abuser, hoping to build on states across the political spectrum that have adopted such reforms.

Over the last year, the red states of Georgia & Oklahoma passed reforms to help domestic violence survivors who are in prison for harming their abusers.

California was close to doing the same: state House passed a bill overwhelmingly this summer. But then it died in the Senate, for the third year.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Opinion: Flock can't be trusted not to share Berkeley's surveillance camera data with Trump and ICE Contracting with Flock is incredibly risky for the safety and security of Berkeley’s residents and completely goes against its commitments as a sanctuary city.

How Cuomo Wants to Limit Who Gets to Live in Rent-Stabilized Units

It is legitimately insane that the NYT has now published FOUR separate articles taking seriously this half-baked proposal that is opposed by literally every single person who has thought about it for more than a second

When I eat chocolate pudding at Saul's I am compelled to do a little shoulder dance, it makes me so happy.

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

🧵 Second quarter FEC reports were released last week!

We have the most money in this race, an average donation of $32, and likely more in-District donors than the rest of the field combined.

Here’s what's in those reports, why we're celebrating, and why we can't let up in our voter outreach:

DC Mayor Various Berries.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

🚨Federal judge orders DHS to limit “roving patrols” in Los Angeles.

The judge finds that the evidence shows that DHS officers are racially profiling people to demand their papers, which all sides agree is illegal, and orders DHS to stop those unlawful practices.

Berkeley City officials have assured us that the surveillance bonanza of recent years won't be used against protesters or immigrants. Even if they belive it, how can they be so sure?

Every Gujarati African I have ever met identifies as African first, and probably Indian second but possibly not Indian at all. Indians certainly consider us African, to a point where more traditional Indians will not intermarry with us, even if they are ethnically and religiously identical.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

If you listen to the actual audio, it's very clear that she didn't misspeak. She was told she was wrong, but she refused to listen and continued to double and triple down.

The least she can do is apologize and endorse the Democratic nominee even though he's Muslim. Whether she will is unclear.

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Shame on you.

🚨 BREAKING: “They tried to run over our people” - Cudahy Mayor Liz

Live video from Atlantic & Brompton in Bell shows Cudahy Mayor and community members tear-gassed by what appears to be law enforcement, with unmarked law enforcement vehicle charging at crowd…

The Cut article from 2018: Cuomo halted investigation into Weinstein case after $25K donation from his former lawyer

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign…

guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

"Remaining in good standing in my professional circles requires attacking Mamdani" is not something people can say, but would have actually been less silly than what many of them have said/written this week in attacking Mamdani and/or backing Cuomo.

A graphic of Bernie and Zohran smiling. Text reads “BERNIE ENDORSES ZOHRAN.”

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life.

As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.
