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

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.

.@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

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:

.@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.

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.

#Alabama Hospitals Run Out Of ICU Beds because #COVIDIOTS are legion in The South. Still, the @whitehouse keeps the 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 #border closed, pretending that our neighbors are worse on #COVID19, @POTUS @VP. one.npr.org/i/1029582385:1…
@RepSaraJacobs @SenAlexPadilla @SenFeinstein Further, the @vp should dissuade herself from thinking that a graduate of both Berkeley H.S. and an #HBCU could gain favor with constituents who are #bigots about #Mexico.

It was hard to hear the irresponsible discussion that I heard on @BallySportsSD between @DonOrsillo, @Mudcat55 and @mlb commissioner Rob Manfred during #MIAvsSD game. The #DeltaVariant will insure that the #CoronavirusPandemic will continue through the end of the season. Anyone who follows the news know that the pandemic is ramping back up.

Like a broken clock gives the right time of day, #GymJordan is right this time. At midnight, @WhiteHouse chose to leave the 🇲🇽/🇺🇸 #Border closed. I'm getting inventory here for a store in #Tijuana . It's bad for business in my area.

We have been waiting to cross FOR SIX HOURS @WhiteHouse @VP @SenFeinstein @SenAlexPadilla @RepSaraJacobs. @CBP is a rogue agency, they're doing a work slow down. This is unreasonable. First, we were subjected to the false hope posted on the @cpb's web site. Image

Look at his profile: not one original thought as long as he has held the account. Not the hallmark of a guy who would choose to have a good faith argument about the #FrenchLaundry incident. Here is my "yes, I believe that The Sun rises in The East" statement: Newsom was horribly hypocritical having that dinner party. There is nothing good about it. It's a magnet for the criticism of right wing ideologues like the outgoing mayor of #SanDiego and others.

I worry that @SupervisorCox will be influenced by one of the demagogues that he serves with on #CoronavirusPandemic policy. Following those who ignore the danger of #coronavirus will get Cox' constituents killed.

here is the "yes,l agree that the sun rises in the east" disclaimer: no one should have to be shooting cops, cops shouldn't have to be shooting others (but there is a lot more to cops using deadly force) But the way that @CBSNews @CBS8 & @nbcsandiego are covering the #ComptonShooting of LASD deputies lays bare broadcast #journalism's dependence on quick, easy content from reliable sources at the expense giving viewers a fuller context.

This is an easy thing to say when you haven't been following what #KamalaHarris has done for California. She has let white-collar crime slide. #KamalaHarris has let criminals in-state who have shafted utility payers slide.

.@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.
