Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.

This is only going to get worse.

Workers—regardless of status—deserve dignity, not raids. Safety, not militarized violence. Today, I stood with labor and community leaders to say: San Diego will not be silent. We will not be complicit.

Let’s organize. Protect each other. Speak truth. Demand better.

Renters, builders defend San Diego's ADU program as council backs off repeal effort The City Council rescinded a request to repeal the city's landmark ADU bonus program, but pledged to work with Mayor Todd Gloria to limit where it applies.

Councilmember Jen Campbell held up a picture of an ADU development in Clairemont yesterday as an example of poor design.

I was at that exact ADU complex on Friday and spoke with a tenant, Sarah Agudo. She told me she loved her home and is glad it got built.

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.

California Fires Lead to Prices Hikes on Some L.A. Rentals Despite a law against price gouging during a state of emergency, some rental listings have shot up above the allowable 10 percent overnight.

"Through working with these families, I’ve been seeing an unfathomable amount of price gouging for housing."

This is abhorrent, but let's be clear: it’s just a more extreme version of what we see every day in cities across the country, where landlords exploit desperate renters for maximum profit.

It is unclear exactly how Mr. Wallace operated. There are references in emails to “social manipulation” and “proactive fan posting,” and text messages cite efforts to “boost” and “amplify” online content that was favorable to Mr. Baldoni or critical of Ms. Lively. “We are crushing it on Reddit,” Mr. Wallace told Ms. Nathan, according to a text she sent Ms. Abel on Aug. 9. The next day, one of Ms. Nathan’s employees texted, “We’ve started to see shift on social, due largely to Jed and his team’s efforts to shift the narrative.” Ms. Nathan wrote to Ms. Abel: “And socials are really really ramping up. In his favour, she must be furious. It’s actually sad because it just shows you have people really want to hate on women.”

The fact that Baldoni hired Johnny Depp’s crisis PR firm and they gloated about how easy their job was bc Americans really want to hate women is what’s stuck with me

screenshot of a tweet from Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. It is of an interview. The interviewer says “you’ve been forthright in support of the rights of trans people, which Joe Kent tried to use against you, especially when it came to things like trans women in sports. How did you navigate an issue that proved so difficult for democrats nationally” MGP responds “I do not think that is why Democrats lost the presidential race. He tried to come for me on it and it did not work”

So glad many of you are finding my SD starter pack useful! I’ve been updating it as best I can, but it’s getting beyond my ability to keep up.

If you or someone you know should be on this list, please let me know!

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Measure G failure shows urban-suburban divide over funding for public transit The city of San Diego and most of the South Bay saw majorities supporting Measure G. But that wasn't enough to counteract strong opposition in North and East County suburbs.

Measure G, a half-cent sales tax that would have given 64% of revenue to public transit in San Diego County, has failed 51-49. A closer look at the results show strong support in urban areas wasn't enough to overcome opposition in the suburbs. 1/ www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...

California’s attorney general readies the fight against Trump’s extreme agenda: ‘We’re prepared’ Rob Bonta vows to defend state from president-elect’s policies threatening immigrants, abortion rights and more

California AG Rob Bonta tells me CA DOJ has been prepping for months for Trump 2.0 and has already drafted legal briefs, including to challenge a national abortion ban.

“We’ve got a lot in our back pocket ready to drop. The whole strategy is thought through. We're very advanced in our preparation."

Would love for you to force me out on a ride ☺️

Woah. We’ll be telling our children about every street that didn’t used to have a bike lane one day.

Guess I’ll try a word app again. Hi.
