(3,3) My question for everyone who is looking into the National Guard shooting is simple. How did the killer get his guns and what is your plan to stop future killers (American citizens or not) from acquiring weapons in a country that currently makes that easy?

We live in a time when you can be blown up because you “might” be carrying drugs…

But if you’ve been convicted of trafficking drugs you get a full Presidential pardon.

Support your local bookstores this giving season. Not sure they have what you want? Just call!

It’s easy to buy online, but how sad would you be if your local bookseller went out of business? Very sad, right?

Obviously, the confusing bicycle lanes caused this.

Prop tax abatement/vacations are a good tool for encouraging new housing construction. We need this in CA.,

As the parent of three boys, not to mention a spouse/sibling/in-law/friend to some of the nicest and most helpful boys around, this is just effing nutso. WTF is a “boy-friendly” space?

We’re sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasn’t real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said there’s a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one.

I need the No On 50 campaign to send me more bullshit so the postman comes to my house and picks up my ballot voting yes on 50. VOTE YES ON 50!!!

Oh my God!

Yes.

But Trump publicly said HE DID NOT want the SC to get involved. This is DOING what Trump publicly asked for.

Yep. I told @liccardo.house.gov it’s secession time.

ICE lies, that’s for sure.

This is v v funny and true ironically.

People: Communities need to unite and defend themselves!

Cupertino: Message received! We're united against housing for disabled people to defend parking!

So exhausting..

“As vegetables prices keep going up and up, people will just substitute towards these very ultra-processed foods, which ultimately will have adverse effects on their health”. Thanks, Trump!

US blue-collar job growth has completely stagnated, hitting the lowest level since the onset of the pandemic—manufacturing is currently losing jobs at a rapid pace, and growth in construction/transportation has slowed to a crawl

Dig this guy's style. Chaz Langley, the man behind the camera, runs a great Instagram account if you like street style. Unfortunately had to clip the video bc Bluesky only allows 3mins (developers pls change this!)
