Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will officially face a recall vote after county confirms there are enough valid signatures to place the recall effort on the ballot

A homeless man mocking harm reduction workers. He said he’s tired of seeing their smiles as they hand addicts the tools to use the deadliest drug in history than walk away patting themselves on the back.

I always find these stories really weird.

CNN is a major news network. Who “overshadowed” the news, if not the network who didn’t cover it?

Jon Jacobo was a rising star in SF's political scene—but then he was accused of rape.

Now, the Standard has learned that three other women have filed police reports against Jacobo following the initial rape accusation. Here's what they had to say: sf.news/3U14szJ

Almost every insult meaning 'dumb' applied to people with actual disabilities at one point (including dumb, which means someone who cannot speak). 'Retard' was considered less acceptable because it had *recently* been used for disabled people, a taboo that had to fade over time

Hot take: 'retard' is slipping back into usage because once it stopped being an acceptable term for people with down syndrome it was inevitable it would become an acceptable insult again in the same way that 'moron' (which used to also apply to people with mental disabilities) is

'We shall fight in the Starbucks, we shall fight in the theater companies, we shall fight in the small literary magazines and in the fast-food restaurants, we shall fight in the non-profits having nothing to do with the Middle East; we shall never surrender' - Winston Churchill

Semafor Max Tani Interesting piece, but this sentence is misleading: 'Greenwald quit in fury to make quixotic allies on the right.' You can find the reason for Greenwald's departure in an Intercept article: he wanted full editorial control over his content. semafor.com/article/04/14/…

🟡 SCOOP: The Intercept is nearly out of money and facing a bitter civil war, with multiple feuding factions battling for power and two star journalists trying to take control, Max Tani reports.

So….working as a public affairs hack for non profits and politicians is considered “public service”? But throwing on a hard hat and working on oil rigs, power plants, and refineries is not?

Interesting society we have here. Interesting indeed

I’m against the next war already.

This is significant:  

Biden made clear to Netanyahu that the US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran, MJ Lee to me on the air just now.

We finally figured out what it takes to believe a libertarian economist, it's being bludgeoned in the head for half an hour

A classic California scene.

Would love to see a buddy comedy about these two.

These lunatics are desperate to push us into a direct war with Iran. It's bloodthirsty, stupid, and not what any actual voters in this country want.

Israel vs Iran

2020. Biden on Trump - 'As the walls close in on this man, I'm worried that he's going to get us to war in Iran.'

The litmus test for whether America should engage in any military action should be: does this in any conceivable way benefit the average American dental assistant/daycare worker/forklift operator/etc.? And if so, does that benefit outweigh the risk to that American?

Trump's an asshole & anything can happen.

But we did conduct a 4-year live experiment on the question 'what will this asshole be like as president?'

We'd do well imo to weigh 4 years of evidence much more heavily than speculation that is largely reheated from 2016.
