.@Todd_Mokhtari I have an issue with that segment that ran on the late news last night about local military families worries after the killing of #QasemSoleimaini. #KNSD had a young mother with her infant strapped on her front in Liberty Station inventing opposition.
She alleged that people were hostile to troops since #POTUS45 carried out the "sanction" of #Soleimani. That was wrong.
Some people are smart enough to read the U.S. Constitution and enlisted personnel oath of induction then put those together to understand that #troops don't make their own orders.
I would like to think better of that woman, her husband and his comrades, any veteran or any person than to defend #POTUS45's reckless orders. If not out of respect for people whether they are in uniform or not then as a waste of the U.S' assets.
Could @DanicaTVNews and her crew find someone who would blame troops for the orders that they are about to get to ship out instead of someone in the @WhiteHouse? Of course, there are all kinds of idiots who will say anything on TV. I understand that it is still #content.
As a native San Diegan who as a child rode by the MCRD in a car knowing that young men in there that day would be sent off to Vietnam another day, I'm haunted by the notion that it happened. That didn't change with George The 41st & 43rd's adventures around the Persian Gulf.
I'm disappointed to think that that young mother - notwithstanding her political inclinations - would believe that opponents to war would oppose her as a person instead of opposing war so her family's lives can be full and fruitful.

When I (would) describe what most elected officials do for #Homeless people, I (would) say that they do as much as their constituents will let them get away with. Today won't be the case with @CMWhitburnD3 at the behest of @MayorToddGloria
today's discussion about amendments to the @CityofSanDiego's Municipal Code Related to Unauthorized Camping or Encampments on Public Property should be condemned
Whitburn is following the lead of his #NIMBY constituents when they won't allow any small measure to relieve the suffering of their #neighbors

We all should reciprocate the support that @SupFletcher gave to all of #SanDiego County during the #COVID19 #pandemic. He and other county officials responsible for our health were subjected to irrational and venomous attacks for their efforts to save constituents' lives.
His house was firebombed just over a year ago. His partisan conversion drew constant invective from extremists, people who menace their neighbors.
Understandably, a man who survived combat in uniform wouldn't expect to be assaulted by #fascist nihilists after being elected to a constitutional office.

.@prattprattpratt is the worst kind of Californian. Because those who have #housing are often most culpable for standing in the way of solutions - even of ½ @$$ed solutions. Image
This bleat about #homelessness + isn't what it seems to be: elected officials are delivering the level of service and solutions that voters require of them. You can drive along a freeway or around MacArthur Park 2 see that is a low bar. His in-laws could explain this to him. Image
in simple, ideologically free terms that anyone who got a C in basic economics would understand, we are not building enough homes

I was trying to support #education and #employment in #Escondido earlier this week @escolibrary @ehscougars @cityofescondido @EscondidoChambe @EUSD @EUHSD @VisitEscondido @escondidoreport @EscondidoDems by posting notice of this new service of #libraries
…n_castatehelpnow_ca.svc.brainfuse.com/authenticate.a… looks like an incredible service, don't you think? So I shared it with many communities that I belong to on #Facebook. That URL is embedded on this page:
gov.ca.gov/2022/09/12/gov…
It has stayed up in every other community (probably around 10) that I posted it except one:

.@vosdscott was talking about #homelessness about 35 minutes into the VOSD podcast from a few days ago. I've spent some time thinking through what he & @andy_keatts were talking about.
I read about/ hear most people reducing #unhoused people to abstractions and dismissing what is obvious about living #homeless: the stress of not having your own residence makes you kind of crazy. It's natural.
People with means and a few rungs up on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs are blind to where the homeless are. thoughtco.com/maslows-hierar…

would @smartfinal tell it's employees at smartandfinal.com/stores/spring-… how #coronavirus works
I was told by an employee not wearing a mask that I could not put my reusable bags on the register conveyor belt because "it isn't safe."

I didn't pick a fight, but the #covidiocy of the situation sticks with me.
Your staff doesn't seem to understand that an unmasked human being (uncovered mouth and nose) is much more likely to infect a person than a virus on a reusable bag that may be transferred on to any part of the check stand.
