Great work by my friend @kenjenkinsny.bsky.social. More public officials should stand up the way Ken has in Westchester.

It’s really great to be able to drop your ballot in a mailbox and 24 hours later get both an email and a text confirming it was received. The sort of voting efficiency the GOP loathes.

The organizers behind the No Kings Day of Action on October 18 -- the event Johnson called a "hate America rally" -- have this to say in response.

"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings coalition issued the following statement"

Autumn is the best time to go down to the woods. Mind you, Spring is not so dusty and there’s much to be said for Summer. Winter is nice, too. OK, any time is good but now it’s all turning gold, so off we go …

A path covered in fallen copper coloured leaves leads through the forest. On either side tall thin trees still retain some of their golden leaves.

SB 771, currently on Gavin Newsom's desk, is a combination of unconstitutional goals, an incomplete understanding of technology, and drafting that makes it even worse.

This week I wrote to Newsom urging him to veto the bill.
