What California needs now is a little bit of hope and a whole lot of grit. That's why I'm running for Governor.

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

Went on CBS National News yesterday to talk about my challenge to Nancy Pelosi and the kind of sweeping economic transformation Democrats should be campaigning on because people keep demanding change in every election.

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social weekly listener, big fan!

Guest suggestion: you should have @saikatc.bsky.social on the pod!

I've loved recent episodes with figures like Hakeem, Chris Christie, & AOC. Would love to hear Jon's take on Saikat's primary challenge to Pelosi!

🧵 I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

If you care about attacks on vulnerable people, antagonizing our closest allies, the dismantling of our government by an unelected billionaire - CONTACT YOUR OFFICIALS

It's easy, quick, & IS worth doing. Express appreciation, urgency, or disgust. Resistance must be collective.

Resist the dismantling of our government. Billionaire owned news benefits from pretending this is inevitable. Primary sources matter.

My New Year’s Resolution.
What’s yours?

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

Can anyone under 60 please primary Pelosi from the left? We in SF are one of the country's most peogressive cities yet we keep electing the emblem of ineffectual old guard Democrats. Don't get me wrong she was amazing for her time, but that time is passed. Time for younger voices from the left.

So don’t give up hope. Do not despair. That is what they want, and we shall not give them that satisfaction. In Japanese, there is a word my mother used to say to me.

“Gaman, Georgie,” she’d say. It means to endure with fortitude and dignity. We all could benefit the spirit of Gaman. /5
