Biggest stat to remember ahead of @oregonfootball vs. UCLA:

Nancy Pelosi had 5 children in something like 7 years and that's all I can think about when I see her being calm under literal siege.

What if two years ago, I told you that by the end of Biden's first two years:
- 10 million new jobs
- 3.6% unemployment
- 86% drop in COVID death rate
- biggest ever infrastructure bill PASSED
- first gun safety bill in 30 yrs PASSED
(wait, just getting started...keep reading)

Dem leaders must tell voters the plan:
What’s the *actual* need? Which specific seats are we focused on? WHAT votes do we need & WHERE (what states + races?)
And, what’s the return? What is Biden/Congress ACTUALLY willing+able to do at 52/60 seats?
Be honest. Details motivate

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.
Let’s start w/ why:
- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years
- 1 of those seats was stolen
- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

Local journalist here, with a thread on why you should *absolutely not* do what this headline writer did, and treat the recall of Chesa Boudin as a referendum of national significance on criminal justice reform. 1/

How many times we gotta keep pointing it out before we abandon failed strategies - Police don’t prevent crime. They don’t interrupt crime. They respond to it. After the fact. And often times, they respond w more violence.
Y’all want to finally try something different or what?
This is just unthinkable: SEVEN police officers were inside the school but did not confront the shooter per @CNN. They waited "about an hour" for a Border Patrol tactical team to arrive. A full hour. Seven armed officers to one 18 year-old. The good guys with the guns?

THREAD: There’s a lot of talk right now about crime in San Francisco. Almost everything you’ll read in the mainstream press is wrong. I live in the Tenderloin and work in the courts every day. Here’s my take on what’s happening and why.

The way that a Black woman in America can be as highly, hyper educated, intelligent, elegant, skilled, experienced and qualified as KBJ and still be treated like this by white men on national television. It's not even symbolic. It's a glaring body of evidence.

Thank you to everyone watching and sharing this. I am grateful you all are standing with me.

CM @JKW4Alameda Chief Rolleri, Fenn, and Joshi have never made the argument that ALPR will prevent crime from happening even though folks citing safety want ALPR as a prevention measure and deterrent #alamtg

So we're all supposed to "prepare for blizzard conditions" just because the scientific establishment and the media say so? And anyone who says it will be sunny and 70 is canceled?
All's I'm saying is, lots of $ changing hands in snow shovel industry. Do your own meteorology.

Please share this quote from my father through #MLKDay2022:
“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.”

Look how “essential workers” quickly become “low skilled workers” as soon as wages start to be discussed.
