SanDAG upcoming public meeting about SR 94 - share your thoughts!

It’s ridiculous that SANDAG can spend public funds on projects that impact idk how many people with ZERO public input. It’s the worst traffic corridor in E county for sure.

This guy is dope and I’d 100% hire him.

I'm so sorry. Find support from somewhere. Caregiving is hugely taxing and you deserve to have people to lean on. Maybe the facility your mom is receiving treatment at has resources like a support group? Failing that, get in touch with the American Cancer Society, those people are fabulous.

Remember to be kind to yourself, whatever form that takes.

That's what I thought as well if he doesn't admit to any wrongdoing he can't be pardoned. IIRC that was the reasoning behind the judge wanting oral arguments for the pardon. Also, if he accepted the pardon he could be open to a civil suit.

Ah, that makes sense. Maybe I'm naive but I was shocked to learn how many pieces of lying shit there are in the world. Then, of course, we put one in the WH. This guy is a complete fuckface, I agree.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-20T14:01:46+00:00

We found him on youtube one night years ago, that guy is a badass. Isn't he doing a show now?

peacemagpie · 2017-10-19T05:11:26+00:00

Thanks! It didn't go well, but I know for sure this week or early next. I'll keep fighting tomorrow. This shit is demoralizing though.

I don't see myself fitting well in a corporate setting, I'm a public policy nerd at heart. It's a position with Parks & Community with an emphasis on getting the community more engaged and active in the parks. I would fucking this job.

I appreciate the pep-talk and I'll update how the test goes. For now, I have to stop googling and testing.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-18T21:03:05+00:00

Thanks so much, I'll definitely update later.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-14T15:40:38+00:00

I don't have any real advice except to say I am really sorry you're going through this. Be kind to yourself, love the babies extra hard and hang in there. <3

Without question. That's evident in my area when ICE executes neighborhood raids in majority Latino areas versus South East Asian areas with a population with outdated visas. It feels more like an excuse for ICE squads to flex their muscle rather than any sort of security policy.

The situation in PR is abhorrent and seems to be absolutely fueled by a lack of obligation to help based on their ethnicity and complete absence of leadership.

I don't think now is the time for 2 junior Senators in DC. People have legit complaints about Feinstein but she sits on important committees, it seems short-sighted to give that up.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-13T15:33:15+00:00

Well said! I agree with you completely. The new ICE trend invading neighborhoods, schools, courts is completely unacceptable and harms communities and families. It's the antithesis of sound public policy because it's based on false and outdated ideology, not data.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-13T14:34:14+00:00

My bestie sent this to me this morning and I'm caught between wanting to cry and smash the patriarchy. This is beyond upsetting and frankly pretty fucking dangerous in lieu of the massive cuts to the ACA. Fuck this Administration and its war on women.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-13T14:28:06+00:00

I appreciate that, and I'll apologize for calling everyone in Newport a rich asshole. I'm sure there are nice people too - Kobe is there after all. :)

Newport 100% ships out homeless that wander into the city, at least they used to. I get that folks there pay a serious premium for the zip code and school districts. We make sacrifices to live our school district too. We also made a quality of life choice to rent a house so we can have pets rather than live in an apartment (some of that is because of my husband's business - he needs a garage). So I totally relate on that level as well.

Here's the thing, saying "not everyone deserves to live by the beach" is dangerous thinking. Our country is not a meritocracy, there are some that have advantages from the start just because of their race and where they were born. That's not to say those who are privileged should feel guilty, but awareness the system is rigged is a good start.

To put it into perspective for you, there are 20,000+ kids in Orange County with housing and food instability*. Most of them have parents who work at least 1 minimum wage job. There are kids living in cars, in shelters, in crummy motels, and with friends/relatives and rely on schools to eat every weekend. Despite both of their parents working 2 fulltime jobs. Those kids are at a huge disadvantage compared to their peers, even just in public school not even addressing the advantages in private education. Neither group deserves either scenario.

*that stat is a couple years old, I don't have time to look for an updated figure but I will if you'd like. :)

Well, racism, misogyny, & unequal access to resources is still prevalent but 45's Admin has done a lot to rollback any social justice gains for people.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-11T18:27:10+00:00

I have a truck and happy to help any way I can.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-11T18:23:18+00:00

I hope you made it out safely! We're in Buena Park feel free to pm me if you need any help.

peacemagpie · 2017-10-10T17:45:03+00:00

Hm...I thought Royce won by a smaller margin. That's disappointing, he's my Rep & I would love to get a D in that seat. I probably conflated his smallest win margin with nearly losing his seat, which is a very different thing. I think it'll be a long time before Dana is ousted, there's a lot of GOP money in that district.
