bro once got mad at other republicans in the louisiana legislature for amending one of his already bad bills to be even worse specifically because in their zeal for bigotry they'd made it obviously unconstitutional and he knew it would get struck down like that lol

y'all ftr bills passed in california become law as long as they are not vetoed, not only if they are signed. obviously it is good to have the support that signing conveys, so you absolutely can still ask him to sign the other bills, but for enactment we just need him not to veto them.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

combating homelessness by evicting people is some real escalate-to-deescalate-ass shit.

"damn you know what would really help me recover from this spiral of chaotic use? losing my housing." many people are saying this

“It’s time to listen to our recovery community. Overwhelmingly, they share my conviction that no one exiting homelessness should need to choose between their recovery and a home that continually endangers it,” said coauthor Mandelman in a statement. This legislation will add desperately needed new choices that every unhoused San Franciscan deserves: drug-free or recovery-oriented supportive housing if that’s what the resident wants. I’m grateful to Supervisor Dorsey and recovery community members from all across San Francisco for their leadership and advocacy on this worthy legislation.”

"corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and antifa are a cancer on our culture"

they're gonna treat you like a socialist or anarchist anyway, so if you haven't yet you may as well at least consider ditching that whole capitalism thing

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

When a Guardian reporter pointed out on social media that the image was not a genuine photograph of the generally small and tame protests outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Portland, the Oregon Republican Party’s X account replied: “We’re not reporters, just bad memers.”

This framing is a perfect example of the constant “it only ratchets up” criminal justice coverage from mainstream media.

No focus on the fact that Trump’s premise is a lie, but a “gotcha” that Trump’s inane “there’s no crime” comments are not factually correct.

Dan Diamond @ddiamond.bsky.social · 1d

Trump tells Canada’s prime minister that DC was a “raging hellhole” but claims that his crackdown fixed it.

TRUMP: “There is no crime in DC… no one’s being shot.”

There’s evidence that Trump’s crackdown helped curb crime — but it’s not true that it’s gone.

Example: this headline today.

SUPPORT TRANS PUERTO RICANS

We learned a few days ago that on 10/6, Medicaid in Puerto Rico will stop covering all medications used for gender-affirming care.

True Self Foundation has established an emergency fund to cover the cost of GAC for trans Puerto Ricans, but they need more funding to meet the vast need.

The link to donate is in the KHJN Trans Health page bio.

Trans people in Puerto Rico are facing an unprecedented crisis. This Medicaid announcement comes just months after a ban on gender-affirming care for anyone under 21 was signed into law.

True Self Foundation is assisting trans youth + their families as well as trans adults. Donate to provide direct support to trans people in Puerto Rico.
