Last week was my last meeting as a Transportation and Public Works Commissioner for the @CityofSantaCruz! I’m so proud of the work we’ve accomplished in the past 2 years for students on the commission. Some highlights 🧵

Why can’t we do this in Santa Monica with the Airport Redevelopment?. The state of CA used to pay bounties to people that would k!ll Native Americans. Seems about time for reparations through building generational wealth.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

RT @BoringBiz_: What an insane chart. The younger generation actively subsidizes the boomers, despite them owning 50% of all collective wea….

And of course, @RickChavezZbur doesn't even understand the bill he's voting on, wrongly claiming that it would upzone "essentially bus service" and we shouldn't place buildings on Larchmont Blvd. Check the receipts. The bill doesn't apply anywhere near Larchmont.

Aesthetic “environmentalist” and former chair of @envirovoters, @AsmRickZbur, announces he is opposed to #SB79.because he wants to see radical action on climate change, so long as that isn’t building apartments next to transit.

If progressive icon and UBI champion @MichaelDTubbs is pro #SB79, then why is the all-democrat-controlled LA City council opposing the biggest state anti-poverty bill this year?.

RT @tobyhardtospell: Very disappointed to see my LA City Councilperson, Katy Yaroslavsky, oppose a key bill to lower housing costs. It show….

Fantastic to interview UBI champion @MichaelDTubbs on YIMBY Democrats for America's Radio Abundance. Thanks for having me on the show and stay tuned for more exciting Radio Abundance collaborations to come 👀.

And much credit to the DSA-endorsed candidates who opposed this motion! Thank you @nithyavraman @EunissesH and a pleasant surprise coming from @CD13LosAngeles who had previously opposed LA’s big upzoning program applying in single family areas. Progress is possible!.

RT @IDoTheThinking: Nithya Raman's no doesnt surprise me but Im rather surprised Eunisses Hernandez voted no. Growth!.

LA City Council just voted to oppose the biggest pro-housing bill of the past 5 years #SB79 in a shocking display of NIMBYism. Some votes I expected but I can’t believe “progressive” @YsabelJuradoLA carried water for MAGA NIMBYs and opposed housing in wealthy areas. Shame.

RT @cafedujord: Evening, folks! I'm currently attending a meeting of Santa Monica NIMBY group Northeast Neighbors. I normally wouldn't tw….

I think that candidates like Zohran being able to use social media to communicate with voters is good, but it scares me that Meta can unilaterally influence our politics so easily.

Slightly terrifying that one private company’s decision to stop suppressing political content is directly responsible for candidates like Zohran and Deja Foxx being successful.

Just got this email directly from the Social Security administration “applauding” the Trump’s Death Bill. These are dangerous levels of partisan state-sponsored propaganda.
