This seems like such a clear case for ranked choice voting, I don't understand why we're not hearing more about it. I just want to vote for who I want to vote for without worrying our stupid fucking election system will translate that into catastrophe. I want to be represented. Not held hostage.

Republic FC signs MLS All-Star, Canadian national with World Cup experience Sacramento Republic FC made a splashy signing Friday.

🇨🇦 Sources: Sacramento Republic has signed MLS veteran and former Canadian int'l midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye.

Kaye, 31, was with San Jose Earthquakes last year. Made 42 caps for Canada.

Kaye launched his career with Louisville in USL before heading to MLS.

Naming the policeman Officer X, Welles addressed him directly. "Wash your hands, Officer X. Wash them well. Scrub and scour, you won't blot out the blood of a blinded war veteran," Welles said. "Go on, suckle your anonymous moment while it lasts. You're going to be uncovered. We will blast out your name! We'll give the world your given name, Officer X. Yes, and your so-called Christian name. It's going to rise out of the filthy deep like the dead thing it is."

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

President’s Day is a good reminder that the best thing we could do with the office is abolish it.

Shameful from @stlcitysc.com

Along with every other institution. Ugh.

Inside the push to reshape CapRadio and KVIE before their legal battle over tower The Sacramento Bee obtained records about the maneuverings and behind-the-scenes communications leading up to a lawsuit.

WTF is up with KVIE? Alarming bit about KVIE trying to go after CapRadio's license by accusing them of 'yellow journalism'. What the hell? Is our public TV station just trump style ratfucking our public radio station now? Just talking to relatives tonight about stopping our $ support for KVIE.

WATCH — @balint.house.gov on the unredacted Epstein files: “There’s a bunch of sick fucks… so many people knew…. Trump never kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago. That’s a lie.”

Gianni Infantino do you want a tshirt

I've been reminded by the most important boricua in my life about a few things in Puerto Rico's history as a US colonial possession you might not know. Thread incoming, but since I'm not a historian, please find some and learn about these things.

New stickers ordered, drop coming later this month. #UTFG

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Today's student walkout to the ICE headquarters in downtown Sacramento was impressive -- I'd say there were *well* over 1,000 students. And not just high schoolers, middle school kids too!

Republic FC Begins 2026 Open Cup Run Against El Farolito First Round of the 2026 U.S. Open Cup comes to Heart Health Park on March 18

When Sacramento Republic FC opens its 2026 U.S. Open Cup campaign, the challenge will be a familiar—and far from straightforward—one. For the second consecutive year, Republic FC will host El Farolito FC, who have carved out a reputation as one of the most dangerous lower-division teams.

After years of sacrifice from players, it’s time for the USL to deliver professional standards, dignity, and respect on the job. These players make the league possible. I stand with the USLPA as they push for a fair deal.

Every USL-adjacent blog/pod the last several months:

"Tonight my guest is AFL-CIO chairman, George Meany, who will be discussing collective bargaining agreements."

(go USLPA, get what you deserve which is in some cases already offered by USL clubs in the Super League)

I don't think folks are generally in the habit of comparing the Texas economy to the economies of nations, as often happens with CA's.

That the movement to #ProportionalRepresentation starts in the states is *exactly* why we exist. Help us bring about a healthier and more collaborative multi-party system!

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

Immigration court watch volunteer hospitalized after attack outside federal building in Sacramento A former Marine was attacked while monitoring federal immigration activity in downtown Sacramento. He says heated political rhetoric is emboldening violence.

One of our incredible volunteers was viciously attacked today. He’s a veteran and a wonderful person, please send him healing thoughts.

Not a big Katie Porter fan or anything but it's not her fault that top two is such a stupid system. The party could institute #rcv but it will probably take this kind of worst case catastrophe to get their attention.

There are mid-sized European cites with city councils in the dozens of members. Trying to reduce the size of a city council is pure anti-democratic fuckery
