1st - Thanks for the shoutout in your inaugural podcast.

Excellent work. You have an inviting, friendly, confident demeanor & @TheCenterPod comes across as informative, honest, & professional. I've not been a big podcast fan, but look forward to hearing more.

Some thoughts.. /1

2nd - To respond directly to your speculation, yes I was born in Chicago and raised on the North Side. Despite having lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years, I retain my Chicago sports loyalties: Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks. Thank you for your sympathy.

Back to politics.. /2

3a - I like your take describing #Moderates, #Centrists & #Independents. In that context I thought I'd try to categorize myself, not necessarily using your definitions, and not sure I can get there in this format (twitter thread).

Got to run now - Continued in a few hours .. /3

1/ @voiceofsandiego suspects @SDDistAtty @SummerStephan may be leaving the #Republican Party. Why? Read her rambling response: bit.ly/DA_Defects_Exh…

What is clear: #SanDiego is full of ambitious politicians who change party, office and/or districts to stay in/run for office.

@sandiegodems

2/ Related: 2 of 3 recent Chairs of @sandiegodems were "reformed" #Republicans

They changed their party registration then worked against #progressives when they run against #moderates. Women of color were especially impacted by moderate party policies & actions in 2018

@sandiegodems

3/ @sandiegodems used "member communication" $ to attack @CD4Monica @vivianmorenoSD in their elections

Both women won- despite institutional #Democrat opposition. Hopefully this teaches local Democrats about the power & need for #diversity & representation in #SanDiego politics

In the last 4 decades, many journalists and lobbyists have tried to normalize the Islamic regime's wrongdoings.
You may know the story of the regime's systematic human rights abuse, but I'm focusing on the destruction of Iran's water resources. @SethMSiegel @AlirezaNader @MeirJa

To understand the misconduct, check out Zayanderud: The 'life-giving' river. Overexploitation of aquifers and the river for farming and industry and incompatible green spaces has dried up the Gavkhouni marshes. The land is subsiding and sinkholes are appearing.

Lake Urmia is dying. Tens of thousands of wells and 70 dams and agricultural development plans have sucked the water out of the lake and related aquifers in the basin. This is the "Aralization" of Lake Urmia, by the regime.
