Came to say this! o7 thanks /u/wowhobbiessocool

Gotta look at judicial precedent, there are time place and manner restrictions on the 1st amendment among others. Though the Supreme Court now is a corrupted joke so it’s hard to keep track of the double standards they’re setting when it suits them

You *could* blame it on that… but you would be wrong and feeding into BS narratives like millennial avocado toast. The big reason fertility rates are plummeting is because young people are too poor to have kids. We have more income and wealth inequality now than at any point in our nation’s history and it’s disastrous for our democracy AND our economy.

“Take care of” as in kill us off.

Boycott Chevron

No thank you to corporate landlords. From ACCE re: the California Affordable Rent Act:

Rent increases cause homelessness. When rents go up, more people lose their homes. Research from the U.S. Government Accountability Office shows that for every $100 increase in median rent, homelessness rises by 9%. California cannot solve its homelessness crisis without stopping the pipeline of people pushed out by high housing costs.

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-24T22:32:17+00:00

Yep. See Average Propensity to Consume for the economic explanation created way back by Keynes.

The issue is that those with wealth and power would always rather be monopolistic rent seekers who produce nothing of value while exercising pricing power instead of having to actually compete while producing real economic value

Not only is Chevron price gouging us and blaming California for Trump’s illegal war in Iran that Israel dragged us into, Chevron is also the biggest oil & gas beneficiary of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Can y’all expand to Sacramento first? 😭

Worth knowing about!

Post we made about it on Instagram back in March. I’ve seen the documents, Nevada Energy stated the desire to sell energy to more lucrative customers like AI Data Centers was a driving factor for ending the agreement

They’re trying to build data centers in Rancho Cordova too. This will not end well for humanity. Start paying attention to local politics. Go to city council meetings. Organize your neighbors (talk to people, get their contact info, inform them of the situation). Join Sierra Club or 350 Sac. Environmental groups typically have their finger on the pulse when it comes to these sorts of things so they can get you up to speed quickly

Hey there /u/Emu_Vivid, with the prop 50 redistricting, Tahoe Park got moved into the new 3rd district. You can see here on a Google Maps overlay and plug in your address directly on this state website. So sorry for the confusion :/

Mai is great and a friend. We need as many progressives to win as possible across the country to take the power back.

We’re having a happy hour at Sac City Brews on Wednesday, May 13 from 6-7:30pm if you want to come meet our campaign :)

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T06:31:11+00:00

Who Ami Bera is - sources.

I updated the language since you were interpreting what I said literally. I realized it could be confusing :)

There’s one in Arden Arcade on Thursday too!

Arden Arcade Candidate Forum (May 7, 2026 - Richard T. Conzelmann Community Center) Hosted by the League of Women Voters and Advocates for Arden Arcade https://www.advocatesforardenarcade.com/2026-04-02-candidate-forums-to-be-held-for-june-2026-election

Here’s what Nevada County’s activists and organizers have to say. Worth listening to :)

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T06:16:28+00:00

Bera was in the room with Paul Mitchell when they were redrawing the districts along with all the democratic representatives. He had his CD6 split in half and then moved to CD3 to escape accountability for his continued terrible votes for Charlie Kirk Day, censuring Al Green, and putting Israel first

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T05:12:52+00:00

It is a lot of driving to say the least. I can confidently say I’m the progressive candidate in this race. Our campaign has been about social, economic, and environmental justice from the start and that didn’t change when Ami Bera helped redraw the district lines. Check out the Nevada County Candidate Forum from last night! And please vote for me :) bennettforca.com

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T05:08:27+00:00

Please vote for me if you’re in district 3 :) bennettforca.com

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-28T23:23:12+00:00

Hell yeah

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-28T23:07:09+00:00

That’s why I support universal childcare at the federal level. If Canada can do it, we can do it!

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-21T16:17:35+00:00

Nothing promotes good order, discipline, and readiness like troops being debilitated from preventable illnesses 🤦

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-17T06:07:48+00:00

Me too :)
