I Ryan Lizza'd this by saving the best for last. TLDR: Joe Morelle's son is a lobbyist for Airbnb, which probably wrote this legislation.
And now, we get no meaningful discussion. Public hearing is same day as vote, also the only time legislators can get to ask public questions.

Why is Bello rushing through a short-term rental law designed to favor AirbnB? Follow the money and the friends, as per usual. Have to read to the end on this one.

I purposely didn’t look up who was the lobbyist until I finished most of the letter. Felt like Christmas morning.

If the county tries to deny young Morelle had anything to do with the STR legislation, there's an easy way to refute that: Okay, provide the records on all the people who DID lobby you. Dates. Times. Turn it all over.

Voting is necessary, but not sufficient on its own.
We need to support fighters, not folders, in every race at every level. Taking down fascism & oligarchy requires mutual aid, mass mobilization, direct action (ie anti-ICE patrols), targeted pillar disruption *and* voting. Keep fighting back

“Just vote blue in 2026” won’t save us from American fascism. Both parties have been drifting to the right for years. Democrats and Republicans have aligned themselves with corporatocracy and oligarchy, respectively.

ICE deserves to be abused and hounded out of every corner of every city.
As far as i can tell, people are recording/yelling while wearing their pajamas and sandals, and the feds respond by pointing their weapons at the crowd and then gassing a residential block.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
