Victory for housing/transit in CA and sure to incite the rage of local NIMBY segregationists and “historic preservation committee” blonde ladies.

One note about SB79: the tiny, NIMBY-est cities in California got hit the hardest, since it's much harder to play with the zoning. SB79 allows cities to reallocate their zoning "budget" to other stations, but that's not much help when you only have 1-2 stations! It's clever jujitsu.

Jack Posobiec is on TV saying antifa comes from the 1930s and is bad because he's a Nazi. It's real simple.

As CA moves toward a redistricting vote on 11/4 (VOTE YES ON 50) a reminder that the only people pushing a No vote are the Trump flunkies, insurrectionists, and book banning weirdos desperate to impose minority right wing rule on our diverse, progressive state. Unfortunately they’re well funded.

Local public school advocates don’t name, but Jordan Henry said he repped FAIR. His failed city council + school brd campaigns, driven by attacks on schools + queer people, led to GEN’s (formerly “the real Jordan Henry”) founding to inform locals abt the network of extremists rallying in Glendale.

We’ll never forget how Weiss’s “Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism” was the seed org of reactionary anti-public school, anti-inclusive curriculum, anti-LGBTQ+ attacks locally. Presented as an “alternative” to already-approved curriculum, it was clear in 2021 the path the movement was on.

I've obtained the Trump compact document, let me summarize it for you.

Screen cap of a document reading "COMPACT FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
American higher education is the envy of the world and represents a key strategic benefit for our
Nation. In turn, the U.S. university system benefits in a variety of ways from its extraordinary relationship
with the U.S. government. These include (i) access to student loans, grant programs, and federal contracts;
(ii) funding for research directly or indirectly; (iii) approval of student and other visas in connection with
university matriculation and instruction; and (iv) preferential treatment under the tax code. To advance the
national interest arising out of this unique relationship, this Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher
Education represents the priorities of the U.S. government in its engagements with universities that benefit
from the relationship. Institutions of higher education are free to develop models and values other than
those below, if the institution elects to forego federal benefits." with bits circled in color and translated to "Nice college you've got there. We hold all your money. It'd be a real shame if anything happened to it."

Glendale was historically home to the American Nazi Party as well as the KKK. The city’s lamp posts retain a swastika design which some locals strenuously deny has anything to do with that history- whole that may be true, the visual impact is striking. glendalereckoning.org/NazisinGlend...

Screenshot from glendalereckoning.org showing a photograph of uniformed men standing in front of a large swastika. Text reads in part: NAZIS IN GLENDALE
RACISM & RESISTANCE IN GLENDALE
NAZIS IN GLENDALE
In 2016, at Crescenta Valley Community Regional Park, a sign was erected to commemorate the park's history as Hindenburg Park, a meeting place for the German community to celebrate their heritage, but the sign grazed an old wound, it recalled an era when Nazis in America boldly occupied the park for rallies and youth training. Swastikas were hung on flags and on the armbands of marching group members.
During the 1930%, and concurrent with the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, the German American Bund was growing more confident in the United States with chapters springing up in major American cities like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. While their local headquarters

Biggest question: will they be able to get a THIRD use out of the probably expensive wreath/posters they made for Glendale and re-used for the USC version? Was looking a little sad at USC!

A screenshot of an Instagram story showing a rectangular funerary wreath with a photograph of a dead podcaster surrounded by roses and orchids. An American flag may be dragging on the ground in the foreground.

A screenshot from a social media post about the Friday 9/19 vigil for a dead podcaster held at USC. The same photo/wreath in the previous photo is shown, with orchids appearing markedly wilted.

As the government ramps up the imposition of propaganda as curriculum, we want to emphasize the decades-long coordinated assault represented here.
