Actually so dumb. Yeah let’s pay people who run massive federal agencies like $180K
INBOX: Sen. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) introduced legislation to ensure political appointees in the federal government do not earn a salary higher than members of Congress. "If you’re paid by taxpayers, you shouldn’t make more than those who were elected by taxpayers," he said

This James Bond montage and performance is cool and all, but it has no relevance to…anything about the last year in movies. To have a whole section of the show for this, but not let the Best Original Song nominees perform is disrespectful. #Oscars

If Gavin Newsom really wants to do something to protect "California values," he should immediately push through radical housing reform that will make it much easier and cheaper to build in the state and keep people from leaving because they can't afford to live there anymore.
BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom calls special legislative session to “protect California values, including fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, immigrant families.” The special session will begin Dec. 2 when new California lawmakers get sworn in.

Oakland, CA. I would recommend that folks , check out downtown Oakland 's "Book Mark" relocated in a nice space on Broadway. across from Marriott in Chinatown. Very nice diverse selection of books, music etc. I buy many books online, but there is no substitute for a brick and mortar bookstore, to buy and browse. I much prefer to spend $$ in the city in which I reside, at every opportunity.

I am proud of my academic & professional achievements, and to have studied under some of the leading neuroscientists of the country. But I’m disappointed that SF politics have devolved into smear campaigns to distract us from the issues. So let's get into the facts. 🧵

Hostility toward Jewish students on campus isn’t limited to public universities like UC & CSU. Stanford isn’t immune. This new piece in @TheAtlantic is chilling.

Very cool that Oakland high school basketball teams are ascendant these days. Tech, O'High, and O'Dowd, both the girls and boys teams at each school, have been crushing it. oaklandside.org/2024/03/12/2…

Everything bagel liberalism is a cancer. When progressive activists get conservative politicians to agree w/ them on an issue, you know what that’s called? Winning. That these muppets would rather rebuke the support of unlikely allies than welcome it is insanely self-defeating.
There's absolutely no room in the urbanist movement for conservatives. The fight for equitable, climate conscious cities, worker's rights, reproductive rights, racial justice, wealth equality, and LGBTQ rights are all the same fight. It's the fight for our future.
