Looks to me like DeSantis is pushing for big government and more regulation. #DeSantis #BigGovernment

This SMCCCD Board of Trustees meeting is...something. One trustee moves to approve *as long as staff does what they say*...say what? These trustees forget they set policy, not direct staff what to do and how to do it. Total amateur hour and clown show.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's .
Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

Back pedal and sugar coat it all you want, everyone and the news media have already called out your embarrassing power grab for what it is. Way to lose legitimacy at your first day on the job.

I have a simple principle. I want to use the most robust democratic process tomorrow at 6pm to first seat all 5 San Mateo Council Members, and then select our leaders. Then I will proudly vote for Council Member Amourence Lee to be our next Mayor.

“Humans are influencing the water quality of nearly every coastline.” Some of the #BayArea’s most heralded coastline is infested with fecal bacteria. No one really knows why or what to do about it:

I spent the last day talking to smart folks who know Elon to try to grok why it feels capricious and what the method is to the seeming madness. Here you are for those who care and for those who don’t, good for you for ignoring chaos monkeys nytimes.com/2022/11/18/tec

I'm curious about this site. Molly Jong Fast is supposed to be here. I wonder if content will move here because it has a payment mechanism?
This is - John Fetterman's Social Media Producer and the genius who has been embarrassing Dr. Oz online this year.
She is incredible and deserves our praise.

The idea that fiduciary responsibility means only getting money for the shareholders of the moment and not protecting the integrity of the company itself, the employees, or assessing the harm to democracy of a sale, is a failure of the business ethical regime.

The more serious point is that if GOP takes Congress in March and then gets White House in 2024 expect abortion to be completely illegal in CA, NY and across the country by the spring of 2025.

5/7 Abortion has helped many women preserve their economic potential, research shows. And Black women are especially at risk of losing out in states that may soon ban the procedure.

What can you do?
1. Mutual aid - donate to orgs that offer support for women seeking abortion esp those who need to travel to another state.
2. Make sure the ppl especially young ppl around you know that you are available to help confidentially if they need abortion care.

This is about controlling the production of knowledge. DeSantis et al are practicing textbook #fascism.
I am a pediatrician and have been fighting for sensible gun law for a while. I lost 3 children to gun violence. So, useful info to discuss guns:
An AR 15 is an “Armalite rifle,”after the manufacturer Armalite. Not an assault rifle.

As we listen to the debate tonight, the alternatives become very clear:
Either we can have gunmen roaming free and the children locked up like jailed felons ...
Or we can impose some restrictions on the guns and let the children enjoy the air and sun
Your values. Your choice.

This headline is misleading. The article is about white working-class voters. Not all working-class voters. Black and brown working-class voters overwhelmingly vote Democratic. That tells you it’s not about working-class issues. It’s about race.

Sen Cotton, Sen Portman & Rep Cheney will be on Sunday morning shows. I hope that they are asked about the reason for the 2016 change in the Republican platform regarding Ukraine pushed by Manafort & the July 4, 2018 visit by Republican Sens to Russia.

How did US intelligence get it right? They did their jobs and the political consumers didn’t corrupt the findings for private financial benefit or grandiose ideas of re-engineering the region.
Quote Tweet
"... this is an important moment for the US intelligence community".
The sentiment is true, yes. Western intelligence has got so much right.
But it's not as if this is the only intelligence success in recent years.
