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.”

If you’ve ever wondered why you cant have nice things, its because the worst people in your community know this is how you stop them.
Showing up (and not being a frothing lunatic) can get you some of the goods.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Fran Sans is a font based on the display type of SF’s MUNI light rail trains. The N-Judah was my train when I lived there, so I’m very familiar with that display typeface. (Great name too.) [emilysneddon.com]

California: We have delicious al pastor tacos served from a truck in this motel 6 parking lot, next to a national recreation area with a beautiful view of the ocean sunset, and one of the greatest city parks in the country. The Netherlands gave us a windmill to put next to the truck. No housing.

What a lede on this story: Man who complained about narrowing a road in order to protect pedestrians, so much that the city eventually reversed the change, then kills a woman on that very road with his car www.washingtonpost.com/business/int...
America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

I worked at this shady startup for half a year and one day the boss sent me to Home Depot to hire some guys for manual labor and they were the two hardest working motherfuckers I'd ever met in my white-boy life.

it would be newsworthy if any of these professional terfs was NOT a profoundly shitty parent.
Leta Boylan (aka "TERF Nurse") who recently spoke at the FTC Workshop on GAC for minors and has testified in favor of Anti-Trans bills in various states, has a bench warrant issued against her in Michigan related to a case involving Child Support/Custody.

I think about this every time i see a $100k lifted truck with disabled plates:
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
