California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation. So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.

Hey Trump voters. Hate to break it to you - but here’s what actually happened on Tuesday. Watch. Bernie explained it 20 years ago.

Charlie Kirk is upset that Republican women may “undermine their husbands” and secretly vote for Harris while telling their husbands they voted for Trump, even though the husband “works his tail off to make sure that she can have a nice life.”

This gentleman is spot-fucking-on about why MAGA fascists worship a loathsome piece of shit who 99% of the democratic free world thinks is a disgusting bucket of ass vomit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down. If you’d like to help, you can do so here. hawaiicommunityfoundation.or…

Abortion bans set off a "domino effect", causing a rapid and frightening degradation in the quality of care medical facilities are able to provide to ALL pregnant patients. You don't need to be a doctor to know these policies are inhumane. cbsnews.com/news/women-in-lo…

If the federal government wants to fund transportation, skip the megaprojects. Start with a billion bollards. These will save more lives and help us build strong towns everywhere.

Two years after up w/@wwnorton, I’m nervously thrilled to say my book Portal: San Francisco’s Ferry Building and the Reinvention of American Cities has a Nov. 7 publication date. It’s one landmark's history but also much more… (1/3)

Want to know how far the Republican Party has drifted on its interpretation the 2nd Amendment? Here's what Republican Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger-appointed by President Nixon-had to say about the NRA: "The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires." Make sure everyone sees this.
