cops evidently shot a guy yesterday at the Oakland ICE protest, and now Oakland and Alameda PD have barricaded the entrance to coast guard island from three approaches so it's hard to do coordinated action there anymore :/

Since Gavin Newsom's California is now a place where dogs are registered to vote - and DO actually vote - I thought I'd get George and Penny to help me fill out my No on 50 ballot. If only I could vote No on 50 twice - once for each dog!
No on 50!!

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

Still no plan...

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Border Patrol β€œattempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Driving past Los Banos & saw my first β€œNo on 50: Stop Newsom’s Rigged Elections!” Sign. Ok. Btw a quick look on maps tells me when you have a heart attack, the closest hospital (if it stays open) is 14 miles. Your Medicaidβ€”which will go awayβ€”may not cover the ambulance.

Just popped on real quick to say that I had 3 (three!) unnecessarily shitty and lengthy interactions with various AI customer service agents today. When you force me to type, force me to disambiguate, and force my to wait on hold without allowing me to multitask, you’ve failed completely.
