Meanwhile, there are government officials who have done far more than send “suggestive emails.”
Casey Wasserman is putting his agency up for sale, the mogul announced in a memo to staff Friday night, following a week of intense scrutiny and criticism from his roster after suggestive emails he'd sent to Ghislaine Maxwell had surfaced in the Epstein Files.

Protest music lives!

It might not sound like you want it to.
It might make you feel uncomfortable.
But it's here and it matters.

You've heard about the boomers in the mix but young artists are absolutely in the fight.

Here are a few new protest tunes. I'll update this thread as they drop ✌️

This reminds me of the 2003 mayoral race in SF when board of supervisor pres and Green Party member Matt Gonzalez filed to run for mayor at the last minute, then nearly beat Gavin Newsom in his first run for mayor.

Your reminder that ICE is a for-profit industry and the companies profiting are huge donors to the politicians who voted to continue funding ICE.

Beutner posed the most potentially formidable challenge to Mayor Bass. I'm sorry for the reasons why he needs to withdraw, but not sorry he won't be in the race.

Her husband is also a US senator from PA.

During his 2024 campaign, she started using his last name for the first time while glossing over her work for the 1st Trump White House.
