Talarico: “Every single person bears the image of the sacred; every single person is holy — not just the neighbors who look like me or pray like me or vote like me. 2,000 years ago, when the powerful few rigged the system, that barefoot rabbi walked into the seat of power and flipped over the tables of injustice.

Anybody have a non emergency service contact for Puget Sound Energy? They have a contact to report outages and downed wires but not lower priority issues.
We've pretty definitively figured out what's going on at my friends' place: intermittent brownouts on one of the two 120V phases affecting the entire house but not neighbors. Waveforms show glitches in the sine right above and below the zero crossing consistent with series arcing. And it happens more often in windy weathe…

They propose to repeal 2020's Proposition I, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for rent relief and affordable housing. Although Prop I revenue has never been fully dedicated to social housing as intended, it has funded over $200 million to help San Franciscans afford housing as of 2024, including $42 million for the strongest Covid rent re…

Something historic just happened, friends:
In a 17-candidate race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene,
our campaign finished first and forced a runoff against Donald Trump’s endorsed Republican.
Political analysts were stunned.
National media started paying attention.
Democrats across the country celebrated.
