PA Commonwealth Ct has posted its (obviously correct) decision reversing the trial court decision which had removed Lower Merion School Board president Kerry Sautner off the primary ballot -- no reason to find "bad faith" in SFI filing, or to require her to disclose govt lease her employer held.

Today, C70’s @lcristella.bsky.social joined partners in support of Ballot Question #3 to create a Prison Oversight Board & Office. Transparency builds trust, but only if done right. Council must ensure these bodies have the tools to succeed.

This is terrific! Was this already in the works last summer or did this come out of the terrific discussion you had with Eric Liu at the Bar Association conference??

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

‘Beyond frustrating’: Sheriff’s Office problems prevent Land Bank from buying lots for community gardens, houses Even City Council members can't figure out what the holdup is. Sheriff Rochelle Bilal has been active at community events, but hasn't responded to questions.

Yet another example of the Sheriff’s Office failing to perform basic functions that would have a positive impact on Philly communities and our city overall. It’s time for meaningful change - Philadelphians deserve better. @inquirer.com

Notecards detailing the Project 2025 agenda

Just found this crumpled old card in a backpack from last summer, when we were working to sound the alarm about what Project 2025 would mean for people’s lives. Any of it look familiar?

Somehow Trump fooled most of the media into believing it was a “mirage” (as Politico put it). Now here we are.

Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports The Democratic California governor made the stunning remarks in his debut podcast with conservative guest Charlie Kirk.

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

So what’s the plan when they do illegal stuff and then say they won’t listen to the courts? General strike? What other leverage do we have here?

The world’s richest men can’t buy themselves into being tolerable. Just the biggest collection of weenies you ever did see, so desperate for acceptance that they’re malleable and weak and bland and, in turn, destructive as hell. SMH.
