I just landed on US soil… and all I gotta say is PREPARE to be Sick of Me! I’m feeling a renewed and refreshed sense of mission! When you travel the world & hear the stories of countries where they have no jobs for 90 percent or more of their youth who make up 50 percent of

Here is the difference between a man who loves his country, and one who loves himself. Joe Biden did an honorable and selfless act by stepping aside. His legacy will be among the best. Trump cares about Trump only. And the GOP is too scared to do what the Dems did: tell the

HA! wouldn't that be the cherry on top! (Also, one of the best accounts on this site. A little cheeky and I love it!)

My background is crisis management and Communications. I’ve been saying for weeks that what we need to beat. Trump is a bigger circus than the clown show he brings. But here is something else. I need people to understand. In order to win his game we have to play. There are rules.

I absolutely LOVE mornings like this. Cool, slightly overcast, reminds me of the east bay. The best part is being able to open the windows & hear all the folks on their morning walks & in the park just happy to be outside after being cooped up for so long because of the heat 🤗

I kept tellin ya'll to let me dress like myself and you said I needed to wear a jacket.

The thing about aging and elder care is that, like child care, you just assume that there must be services and systems in place designed to support people who are aging and in poor health/their families and then you find that no, there’s actually nothing. Worse than nothing.

Remember that all of this is a strategy. The politics of outrage and insult are the last refuge of a politician who cannot defend his own plans.

Purple ink! I love it. My 1st job @ the capitol was to write the date & time on bills to be presented to the Governor with sigs from the chief clerk, sec. of senate, & gov's office staff. My part HAD to be done in black ink (bosses preference). Did it in blue one time..ONE TIME!

Bee Gees acapella of "How deep is your love" might be better than the original version (1998)

Let's be really clear here: When conservatives say that states allow 'post birth abortion' what they're actually talking about is palliative care for fatally ill newborns.

The pandemic should have led to universal health care, paid sick leave, upgraded ventilation in millions of buildings, massive investment in preventive healthcare and ongoing vaccination campaigns. Instead we got $1200 and the impending criminalization of masking.

Across parties, folks are hurting because of high PG&E rates, and clearly asking the CPUC to do anything about it is meaningless. This comes after PG&E reported $2.24 billion in profit in 2023 and contributes significantly to political campaigns. kron4.com/news/bay-area/…

*sigh The federal government owns something like 47% of the land in California. Californians who have lost their homes, livelihoods, insurance, & have to pay huge utility bills because of wildfire, need promises to do the job, not to shirk it.

Just watched the hearing...just thinking of what could have been done last session and instead we got AB 2205

My entire For You this morning is about the A's and It's making me so sad. I remember my very first game, in the bleachers, watching 1980's era Reggie Jackson. They lost. But it was bat day and I still have my bat. I'll miss them, and yes, even BART rides. Oh! and GIANT hot dogs.
