I wanted to ask a favor, and hope it’s not a pain.
As this site grows and rises and includes more voices and covers a larger swatch of Orange County, I’ve been working hard to up our social media game and expand our wings.
Hence, a little request:
Can you, if you’re on Instagram, follow our new IG feed at this link?
We’re also on TikTok here.
My goal, as I’ve stated, isn’t to make money or grow in stature or fame. Nope—it’s to expose the right-wing crazies trying to overtake our beloved city councils, school boards, etc., while also boosting kick-ass progressive politicians.
An enormous part of that is social media.
So—gracias. Have a great Sunday!

PS: The Instagram feed is being run largely by Avery, my first-ever intern! She’s outstanding.
PPS: Michael Tubbs, the former Stockton mayor, was fantastic during his short talk outside the State Democratic Convention yesterday in Anaheim …
PPS: Late last night, when most of us were sleeping, Donald Trump re-posted a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was dead, and a robot Joe Biden had served as president in the final years. Think about that. Really think about that. This is the President of the United States.
Even worse, almost no one wrote about it. We spend endless hours wondering whether Joe Biden is being fed chopped carrots thru a straw, but the sitting commander in chief posts absolutely unhinged shit … and nary a word? We are broken.
I added you on insta. I am an elder Millennial and feel I am too old for the TikToks (get off my lawn).
Thanks for the video of Tubbs’ speech. I shared the Instagram version.
Oh, and I was also assassinated in 2020. Then my brain was uploaded to a computer, which is how this comment is being produced. There is an animatronic version of me doing my work even better than the real me - now deceased - would have done. I call that a win
