There are far too many people who are all in on Newsom because of his social media presence…which is the work of a Latina woman.
Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

Governments are always keen to have reviews into benefits and overdiagnosis of mental health difficulties. But they always ignore every study that says 4 day weeks and UBI dramatically improve people's wellbeing and the economy.

The way the right is giddy over cutting SNAP benefits is really nasty to see. All of their actions strengthen the case for UBI. Medicare for all, UBI, ban companies from owning single family homes, make them divest, declare energy prices a national emergency and go all in on renewable energy.

Like, the only major downside to a UBI is that billionaires would have to be taxed more.
And I'm failing to see how that's a downside.

Oh hi! Happy holiday to you, however you may celebrate! Yesterday we visited a tiny bend in the Luckiamute River which travels from the west over 60 miles to feed into the Willamette River at almost the exact place the Santiam River feeds in from the east.

Just like UBI & Medicare for All would be much better uses of taxpayer dollars.
Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?
Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… #HousingFirst

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Coast Guard rescue helicopters keep boat crews from dying when things go wrong. Taking them away to make room for an ICE prison is going to get extremely ugly
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced Friday that the state is filing a lawsuit to force the federal government to return a U.S. Coast Guard rescue helicopter to Newport. Lincoln County and the nonprofit Newport Fishermen’s Wives group filed a similar lawsuit.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
