The more I think about that conservative dem mayor of San Jose getting into the governor's race, the more I wonder if he is literally compromised in some way. It's a very strange decision. Someone is leading him into it imho. the jungle primary creates a hazard of minority rule, and spoilers help.

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative "There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

Republicans have lived in a post-democracy era for some time - in their ultra-safe districts, their voters show up and hire them year after year regardless of their behavior. Democrats face blistering criticism on even minor transgressions. Here is the result.

It hasn’t been getting in the national media, but ICE has been wreaking havoc in two of Oregon’s most diverse areas - Washington County, and Woodburn down to Salem. Hillsboro - a major suburb and home to Intel’s largest factories - declared a state of emergency this week as well.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
