BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products.
That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo.

Even just 5 years ago, CADEM embracing a position like this was unthinkable. The party was too dominated by anti-housing zealots and suburban homeowners.
Today, the vote to support SB79 was 111 to 62.
It’s nothing short of a sea change.

The City of LA, embarrassingly, voted yesterday to oppose #SB79 (legalizing housing near transit).
Watch this incredible rebuttal from @cd4losangeles.bsky.social, where she says that the city isn't acting in good faith to address the housing crisis, & that state intervention has been necessary.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported.
We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back.
That would be the end of democracy.
