If you too find this maddening, sign @bikeeastbay.bsky.social’s petition to say no to Bauer-Kahan’s bill requiring mandatory e-bike license plates and registration. Bike East Bay will update signers on future action opportunities to stop this bill.

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

That's a thoughtful perspective. Thanks for providing it.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your friends - similar losses in my own community, and there is nothing easy about it, nor does it ever really make sense.

I'll respond more after spending more time to think and read.

I would be very happy with a candidate that has never had a Nazi tattoo.

Less than a month ago (Feb 2026), Platner hung out in public with a guy wearing an "88" shirt.

A month before that (Jan 2026), Platner went on a known antisemitic podcast, of which he's a "longtime fan."

Not exactly the actions of a guy distancing himself from Nazism.

You skipped a key word.

If by "purity test" you mean "test of whether someone has repeatedly expressed support for Nazism" then yes indeed, Platner has failed that test.

Look, I know kakistocracy is the "in" thing right now, but we can have standards, you know? And "never having expressed support for Nazism, let alone having acquired and kept an actual Nazi tattoo" is the absolute easiest standard there is.

Nazi says what?

"Dumb drunken choices in your youth" = peeing on the wall of the bar in plain view of the bouncer, and then fighting said bouncer

"Gets a Nazi tattoo" = holy fucking shit, dude

"Keeps a Nazi tattoo for years and years" = straight to fucking prison, not to the fucking United States Senate

Hoo boy, uncritically quoting the dude who only got rid of his Nazi tattoo when the public found out about it. Maybe don't? How about don't?

Guy who said he wouldn’t start a foreign war and attacked former Presidents for starting foreign wars and begged like a small child for a peace prize starts foreign war to distract from his guilt sexually assaulting under-aged girls with Jeffrey Epstein.

Who could have seen that coming?

Everyone.

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

Uninspiring, as usual.

After a US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, rescuers dug through the rubble for survivors. The death toll is still rising, with more than 80 confirmed dead so far.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Unrepentant confessed pedophile, noted for his lifelong contempt for basic human decency and suspected in multiple murders, addresses the nearly one third of the country that - to the eternal shame of the rest of us - would support the devil incarnate if Fox told them to. #StateOfTheUnion

That Nazi isn't charismatic, nor is he elected, nor is he representative of the party and its future. Why feature that shitbag front and center?

Try leading for once. Not following. Not Republican-lite. Not vaguely look like you're almost minimizing harm a little bit, if only the Guardians of Pedophiles found some decency.

Congratulations!

I'm very sorry about your friend. 💔

Hey Jake - I appreciate you.

Children trapped in Texas immigration facility recount nightmares, inedible food, no school A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos, a scared 5-year-old, drew attention to a detention center in Dilley, Texas. Advocates say his experience reflects what hundreds of children have endured out of public vie...

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

"Nearby, a six-year-old wondered if the unicorn she saw marching earlier was ok. "
