The same developer who rather suddenly pulled funding for the Long Beach Post, forcing it to become a non-profit without adequate preparation?

Don't agree to a deal that only gives a vote on ACA subsidies. The subsidies need to be guaranteed. Get them to sign it in blood if necessary.

He's 78, already on senior status, and he shouldn't step down? Seriously?

$80 million being transferred from the state coffers for emergency food benefits. My tax dollars at work, thank goodness.

We're retired, we have fewer commitments, and we don't want to live out the rest of our days under an authoritarian regime.

Klein is dealing! (Words I thought I'd never say.)

"before seeking approval" - like he's going to ask for approval at some later date for something that can't be undone? Come the fuck on.

I wonder what happened to all that money. Spent? Stolen from him?

There is no historical "spirit", no necessary arc towards justice. There is only us, fighting for a new world in the shadows of our ancestors and forebears, always able to change everything.

Insisting the fight is already lost is as anti-historical as any claim that our victory is inevitable

If "tested" means "violated," sure.

Yes, please wait on the sidelines and just observe. That will be extremely helpful.

Some of us in big cities come from small cities and know how much it means. The town I grew up in now has 47,000 people. The No Kings protest there drew 5,000 - more than 10%!

I'm getting ready to plug in an old radio just so I can stop hearing the definition of an oppo taco. And twin bill. And ducks on the pond.

One side is frog marching us to authoritarian rule, while the other is asking us to vote to stop this. But Dan can't figure out what to do.

I'm sure you're familiar with them! I meant no offense or criticism. Just adding on, as I spent a very enjoyable 3 hours at a local bar today watching the Dodgers. And now I will stumble home.
