I support Gavin Newsom. I would have been fine with Villaregosa as well, but I’m just way more familiar with Newsom since he was my mayor. Whoever wins (98% sure it will be Newsom) has big shoes to fill. Jerry Brown has been an excellent governor and righted the ship after Arnold. Plus we are almost certain to see a market correction and some tech implosion at some point. I think Gavin is progressive enough (meaning any more and he might not appeal to the wider audience of the state), he has strong relationships, is a good public speaker, and speaks out about what is not correct. He’s not perfect, but I do trust him and think he will prioritize pushing back against the Trump Admin and also stand up for human rights. This is how I feel about him, too. He does come off like a showman and the slicked-back hair reminds me of Steve Lavin circa 2000 (another SF kid), but he really is progressive and believes deeply in human rights and treating everyone with dignity and respect. I would have been ok with Villaregosa too, and the LA Times had a really compelling argument for why his experience made him a better choice for running the state (LA is bigger and has more problems/is more diverse, Newsom's progressive agenda was largely "safe" in San Francisco). I get really nervous when Democrats start saying shit like "yeah but he's just so...." or "I just don't know about...." Like, we can't expect perfection, not every candidate is going to be Barack Obama. It's this kind of pickiness that keeps people home on election days, and I guarantee you conservative baby boomers are not so picky, they're voting like they've got nothing else to do.

Omg. Clearly not important but still making my mouth drop. Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle are officially dating. That’s Gavin Newsom’s ex wife. She’s also the WORST. No, wait, what the FUCK?

RE: Robocalls I've gotten several calls stating my social security number has been suspended due to activity and please call this number in Texas, Mass, and another state I can't remember. HOW do you suspend a SSN? Does that mean I don't have to pay any taxes? Wouldn't that be nice? My grandma almost fell for one of the tax scams. She called my mom, who manages her finances, in a panic about being arrested. She was terrified. We had a couple of concerned calls about this at my library. I was so glad they had the thought to call us to verify/get IRS contact info rather than give over their information in a panic.

Well...I don't have confidence in it at this point, given that we appear to be in a rapid descent into a fascist dictatorship and no one seems to care. Yesterday the president and one of his spokespeople publicly attacked private citizens for protesting them and then the president tweeted he wanted to end due process in immigration courts. And the media spent their day being mad at the restaurant owner for being rude to a Trump official. So. I agree with you. And I agree with most of the points in the article. It also has me questioning democracy. And how BCRA really set us up for this.

There are more jobs in solar than coal & nuclear power combined. But by all means. Let's crater that industry to appeal to the fossil fuel industries which are rapidly destroying our planet. Who needs a habitable place to live? Also coal and fossil fuels are a finite, non-renewable resource so....then what?

To be fair, I think we're likely to pump so many greenhouse gases into our atmosphere that we vaporize ourselves long before we run out of oil, gas & coal. Who knew Mel Brooks would actually predict the future - we spend our own atmosphere to the point where to survive we need to go steal it from someone else. #spaceballs

Trump is in my state campaigning for Henry McMaster for governor in SC, who was one of the first public officials to support Trump. He's in a runoff and I think will probably win. We just selected James Smith, an amazing human being, for the Democratic ticket in a landslide primary election. McMaster is pretty divisive and Smith is a good moderate Democrat and could bring us crossover votes. I'm so hoping we can pull off a win. I've gone to some campaign events and plan on volunteering, which I'm super excited about! We need to get SC democrats to understand that their votes matter I wish I could vote in the runoff today! I'm also excited about the democratic nominee for Sanford's old seat. I plan on volunteering for him. I'm in District 4 but really rooting for Cunningham!

Is it wrong I hear "District 4" and immediately think Hunger Games? Because I'm pretty sure that's where we're heading.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Amash has voted against the president on a number of issues. Wonder whether other French Fry Caucus members will call his bluff.
