Democracy is not a spectator sport.
About time!
Palo Alto, California, has changed drastically as Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and other tech founders have scooped up multiple properties. Greer Stone, a councilman, plans to introduce legislation that would restrict the way the town’s wealthiest homeowners can operate.

In fairness, trump did take the advice of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in his screed tonight; he definitely turned the volume up.

One conversation stuck with me when canvassing for Prop 50 on Saturday:

We need to get the word out that USPS will likely drop the ball on postmarking ballots before 11/4, negating mail-ins

Red Alert! (pun intended)
A new USPS policy enacted by Trump's first Postmaster General could delay mail nationwide. The little-known initiative coupled with the GOP’s ongoing push to restrict mail voting could put millions of the party’s rural voters at risk in future elections.

Just a reminder that there was nothing remotely close to a MAGA landslide or mandate in 2024 (* the "MAGA Faithful estimate is my own, not empirical).

The largest single-day protest in the "Tea Party" movement (which, arguably, was an inflection point in 21st century US politics) drew only 311,460 attendees in 346 cities.

That’s about 4% of Saturday’s turnout. #indivisible #nokings en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Par....

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

So true!
For every ad that Facebook serves today, there used to be a local rag in every community. It was paid for by the local car dealer, grocery, and furniture store. That money moved around & stayed close -Jeff Frick
