San Diego and Chicago when I’m lucky. LFGSD and COYS. Still trying to figure out why Manny wore that stupid T-shirt. Big fan of Canada and Mexico. I’d boo us too.

I am an election worker and I say this constantly. Work at any election, see how hard it is to throw an election. The machines that check you in & the machines that count the ballots are not connected to the internet. He would have to go in and physically mess with every machine. It makes no sense.

Lots of talk about Lindsey Graham this week but here’s an obit worthy of our attention. A life of service vs Lindsey’s life of self serving. chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...
Mary Morello, Libertyville native, activist and mother of Rage Against the Machine's guitarist, dies at 102
In 1990, Ms. Morello founded Parents for Rock and Rap, a group that sought to protect the free speech of musicians in the face of a censorship movement.

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

How is this only the 4th inning??? This game feels like it’s been 500 pitches and six hours.

Not that I think that we need any more words spilled about the Giants pitchers who violated MLB uniform policy last week, but I wrote 3500 of them anyway.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

The San Diego County Civil Grand Jury’s end of term reports are starting to be released. Topics include bike infrastructure, the Commission on Police Practices, juvenile detention, and this gem which I am particularly jazzed about.

Three of these trustees are up for reelection in November.

good advice whether about life and politics or about Tottenham Hotspur
This has to be felt every day; The establishment relies on us losing hope. Do not conflate being exhausted with hope being lost.

If you need support, reach out to someone for support, but DO NOT project that emotion onto the whole movement, publicly. Don't post through it or life will pass you by
