So apparently we're considering becoming a "sanctuary state". That's great. Also hilarious in light of what Fresno's rear end in a top hat mayor has said.

"We're not going to be a sanctuary city." "Yes you are, sit the gently caress back down."

If measure H is "LA measure H" you also have meaure S that is absolute garbage and has a very poor reason for existing. Measure S is a way to stall development in LA, particularly a large mutli-story condo development to be built behind the historic palladium in LA\hollywoo.

Why would a person or group want to stall one particular building in LA? Who would waste so much money on this effort?



Meet this man, Michael Weinstein. Meet his also very impressive view of the LA landscape.

Weinstein is the head of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. His building is Right behind the development of that condo that would block his building from that view.

So this man has gone to war with LA developers to stop them from building in front of him...and he has a lot of money at his disposal to do it.

And thats the story of measure S.

Hasn't Weinstein basically turned the AIDS Healthcare foundation into his own personal political piggy-bank? Like, that group was the one that almost single-handedly funded the entire Prop 60 campaign?

Nah I mean, I'd want to preserve my view, but I would not literally subvert the democratic process in order to achieve my entirely personal goals.

This is of course why I'm totally unqualified to run for any office

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Cal Poly students merely protested peacefully when he was here last night! Guess that's the CSU-UC divide.

Our local newspaper took it down, but for a while, it had a picture of one person's sign, which simply said, "gently caress OFF".

So the protest on campus was rad, started off with the fire and kinda ended in a dance party.

People left Sproul when the police started sweeping but literally walked the 200 feet to telegraph and regrouped. The best people of the night are the ones who somehow made it to the top of the MLK building and started launching fireworks.

They are pro-Trump libertarian bitcoiners who went to an antifascist rally to support the fascist being protested and they mixed it up in the crowd. It's totally possible they were actually pepper sprayed.
