    Made a lil video about my new favorite form of public transportation in LA: Metro Micro. Works like any rideshare app, except it costs $1, and take you to spots buses and trains don't go. Incredibly useful; hope it keeps rolling out across LA!

    Also noteworthy, Musk is being sued by shareholders for failing to disclose reaching a 5% stake in Twitter. His failure to do so is illegal! Martha Stewart went to jail for a pittance in comparison. These white male billionaires are governed by the same laws as the rest of us!

    My name is Charles Booker. I am a father, husband, and lifelong resident of Kentucky running to retire Rand Paul from the U.S. Senate. We can do better than a Senator who stands with QAnon and insurrectionists. Please amplify my message by retweeting and following today.

    When industries become concentrated, all of the power sits in the hands of only a few players. The result? They drive up prices, drive down workers’ wages, and threaten our democracy. We need to bring back real competition.

    Imagine if we hired social workers, counselors, peer support workers, case managers, EMT’s and other care & support workers with the urgency, benefits, salaries and pensions as we hire police. And then create municipal programs to support ppl wherever they’re at. I’m here for it.

    Ron DeSantis got 49.6% of the vote in a state of close to 22 million people. If 34,000 more Democrats showed up, Florida wouldn’t have the Stop Woke Act, Don’t Say Gay, racist redistricting, or more than 73,000 COVID deaths. So don’t ever say that your vote doesn’t matter.

    The Republican Party is a hate group that has betrayed the public trust on every level. Membership should be considered permanently disqualifying for holding or seeking elected or appointed office.

    Twitter was one of the few avenues to advance Black stories after corporate media engaged in a widespread purge of Black journalists a few years back

    honestly...if twitter went away...we'd all likely be the better for it.

    "Widening highways only ever leads to more cars on the road" and we've known it for almost 100 years.

    Widening highways only ever leads to more cars on the road—it's called induced demand. We are in a climate crisis. It makes no sense to double down on fossil fuel infrastructure.

    On the one hand, Republicans are shrieking about the supply chain and inflation On the other hand, they’re doing everything they can do make inflation worse and then blaming their shitfuckery on Biden

    This is inflation. Higher prices at the grocery store. A supply chain crisis that is killing businesses along the border. This is what Greg Abbott is doing to Texas.

    This shit is banned by the EPA because the smog it generates is so fucking awful. This is like putting a band-aid on a broken leg, but the band-aid is cancer, and the broken leg is also cancer.

    President Biden: "Today I'm announcing the Environmental Protection Agency is planning to issue an emergency waiver to allow E15 gasoline that uses more ethanol from home-grown crops to be sold across the U.S. this summer in order to increase fuel supply."

    When a billionaire wants to buy something, he buys it When a billionaire SAYS he wants to buy something, he's trying to manipulate stocks

    Elon Musk is offering to buy Twitter, just days after he said he wouldn’t be joining the board of directors.

    The Trump children made hundreds of millions of dollars while he was president. A lot of that came in from overseas. Where's the outrage? Where are the investigations?

    Apropos of nothing at all, your occasional reminder that a billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a nuclear weapon, and we should strive to prevent random individuals from getting their hands on the former as hard as we do the latter.
