“relationships do not rise to the level of your intentions; they fall to the level of your capacity under pressure” is such an amazing and true line

I’ve learned that you cannot reliably change other people, but you can change yourself and that can greatly improve the dynamic. however, most of the ways you can positively change yourself result in being more honest, not less, which is an unappetizing prospect for many

NEWS: Screwworm has been detected in Texas, USDA confirmed - marking a serious threat to US cattle and other animals Larvae of the parasite were found in the umbilical cord of a 3 week old calf Screwworm was eradicated from the US in 1966

JUST IN: Saikat Chakrabarti has conceded the race. It will be Connie Chan vs. Scott Wiener in the contest to replace Nancy Pelosi. “I want to congratulate Sen. Scott Wiener & Supervisor Connie Chan on their victories & thank everyone who participated in this election."

"Unlike Chakrabarti, Chan has an actual voting record in San Francisco, and you can check it out. She’s never, ever been with AIPAC on anything." 48hills.org/2026/05/the-very…

Not clear to me that Connie Chan has actually taken any money from the Israel lobby or if an unaffiliated PAC ran an add for her as they did w/ Bushra (to increase their fave Scott Wiener’s chances) Would like to see some reporting independent of Saikat’s campaign.

Last night, news broke that a confirmed AIPAC front group established a new “pop-up” PAC called “Pro-Choice Majority Action” to flood a massive amount of last-minute cash in support of our opponent. By strategically launching this group on May 1st, they ensured their mandatory FEC disclosures wouldn't become public until weeks after the California primary. They want to keep voters in the dark until after their ballots are cast on June 2nd. AIPAC wants to keep me out of the top two for a simple reason: Of the three leading candidates, I am the only one who named the genocide in Gaza and called for a full arms embargo on Israel from the start, and I have a decade-long record to prove it is not just talk. AIPAC has had me on their radar for years, because I co-founded Justice Democrats to help elect the leaders they fear most in Congress — including Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, both of whom have proudly endorsed our campaign. AIPAC sees me as their biggest threat, so they will do whatever it takes to try to defeat me. And today, it seems I am the only major candidate in this race not backed by the Israel Lobby. I’m running for Congress because I believe working people deserve good paying union jobs that allow them to get ahead and the wealthy should pay more in taxes. I believe in Medicare for All and abolishing ICE. And I believe America should stop spending trillions on endless wars and genocides and instead invest in healthcare, housing, and education at home. As voters head to the polls this Tuesday, let’s send a strong message to AIPAC: stay the hell out of San Francisco. And to my opponent benefiting from this spending: if you agree, call on Pro-Choice Majority Action to stop any further spending in this race and immediately release the identities of all of its donors.
