A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

"no one should make a profit building necessary housing" is one of those things that sounds based and radical... for like half a second, before you finish thinking it through

I love how people vote against housing in a housing shortage based on the vibe of a building. la.urbanize.city/post/glendal...

My local fruit stand in Davis California has so many varieties of stone fruits that I never see in a traditional grocery store even in Davis.

Stone fruits in California are like India’s mangoes. Potential for endless variety and flavor, but only so many that are shelf stable.

I wonder how many fruits are out there that taste delicious, but just aren’t profitable/stable enough to turn into an industry so we just don’t know about them in America.

This is a “red peach” it’s absolutely incredible and there is almost 0% chance you’ll ever get to eat one 🫤

-only produces every other year
-easily bruised
-much larger than other peaches/hard to pack

45 minutes before I go to Sacramento's Active Transportation Commission, a motorcyclist had a serious collision right next to my children's daycare.

Rumor is that the motorcyclist broke their back in the collision.

Our streets are deadly and we do not do enough about it.

Just found out a friend of mine who’s not even a big USA soccer fan got tickets to the World Cup opener in LA.

Very jealous and also kind of frustrated.

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

Today with the signing of #SB79 has given me the MOST HOPE EVER that California might solve our housing crisis.

A decade and a half of activism as a YIMBY activist (before there even was the term) it fills me with excitement that that our state leaders like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social gets it

Important to remember that not only did we pass #SB79, the biggest transit-oriented upzoning bill ever, we also passed a clean CEQA exemption for new multifamily infill housing.

This is, bar none, the biggest year in state action on housing policy reform in California history. Not even close.
