After an already-suspended cop used Flock to stalk women, @CityofCostaMesa asked why Flock's terms included social media-style licensing language for posts & media. @CostaMesaPD said they had no idea. Pic: Flock's hotlist tool, with social section and media button on right.

We PASSED the largest housing bill in a generation to BRING DOWN COSTS. Government should work for working families—not just Wall Street investors.
BREAKING: The House has just passed a landmark housing bill. This bill would limit would limit the institutional ownership of housing, meaning corporate landlords or hedge funds or other large for-profit entities would be able to own no more than 350 homes. The legislation also has dozens of other provisions, which include: - Removing some regulatory barriers and streamline environmental reviews to increase development of affordable housing. - Updating requirements to expand manufactured housing production. - Creating an innovation fund for communities to build more housing supply. - Establishing better community banking and loan options. - Supporting housing opportunities for veterans. - Permanently authorizing a major disaster recovery program. The bill has already passed the Senate, and now heads to Trump's desk. He's expected to sign it.

When nearly all new housing is market-rate, working families get pushed out. Regional housing trusts could help cities invest in the affordable homes workers actually need. dailybreeze.com/2026/03/06/t…

Teachers have simultaneously: A) been stripped of the ability to do anything about poorly behaved students B) been pressured to pass students no matter what C) been tasks with taking on more and more responsibilities that used to belong to parents D) been vilified and blamed for every problem in society. So…why the job dissatisfaction? It’s a mystery!
In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. We've got a serious problem brewing in education...

I really feel like work days should be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There’s really no reason for people to be at work MOST of their life. It doesn’t even take that long fr Let people go home and have time for their families, partners/friends, hobbies, REST, & health! That’s why everyone is so miserable today.

I don't want AI. I want functional public transit, walkable communities, and the light behind my eyes back.

There is no real way to address climate change without addressing the hoarding of the super rich.
