@ScottEnlow I will always back the blue when they are right. Let dumb cops continue and they get what they deserve. I think the punishment fit the actions of the police.
Gavin, please. 😂
Is it “blatant voter suppression”?
That is an opinion rather than an objective fact.
* Supporters argue the bill is intended to ensure only U.S. citizens register to vote in federal elections and that requiring proof of citizenship is a reasonable election-security measure.
* Opponents argue the additional documentation requirements could disproportionately burden eligible voters who lack easy access to the required documents, reducing participation even though they are legally entitled to vote.
So the post overstates some points—for example, it implies these groups simply can’t vote, which isn’t what the bill says. At the same time, the concerns about additional hurdles for some eligible voters are not invented; they stem from the documentation requirements and uncertainties about implementation.
Fix this then get back to us.
Five reasons California’s government struggles to end homelessness:
• Housing supply is artificially restricted — Strict zoning, CEQA reviews, lengthy permits, and NIMBYism keep new housing scarce and extremely expensive, pricing out lower-income people.
• Housing First policy dominates — State rules require most funding go to permanent housing without requiring treatment for addiction or severe mental illness, limiting tools that address root causes.
• Criminal justice reforms reduced leverage — Prop 47 downgraded many drug and theft offenses, cutting incentives for people to enter treatment programs.
• Shelter shortage + ultra-expensive permanent housing — Too few emergency beds exist, while permanent supportive units often cost $500k–$600k+ each and take years to build.
• Political incentives and weak accountability — Fragmented city/county responsibility, funding tied more to serving people than results, and local opposition sustain the status quo despite billions spent.
