AB 2491 bans the sale of anti-aging products to kids under 13. The beauty industry says they don’t support kids using these products. But they haven’t stepped up to take meaningful action. If the industry is serious about protecting kids from anti-aging products, let’s talk

Children do not need anti-aging products. Using these powerful products can result in serious harm. Scarlett is a 10 year-old 5th grader who shared her story today about how she thought using these products would make her 'glow,' but instead caused painful reactions

4/9: #CHNSC met with #AB2444 bill author Asm. @Alex_Lee and his office to gift them our shirts and thank them for their major leadership and support. The #JusticeInBeauty bill fights for beauty workers' rights, especially in receiving language-appropriate info on basic labor law.

Even with the modern reform era and taking down barriers to housing, the reality is the delta of produced and needed homes is still astronomical.

Why we need a robust statewide social housing developer

We will need social housing and subsidized financing vehicles for private development to generate the kind of infill housing boom to really make our cities affordable.

The real smart critique of YIMBY remains: even with zoning, permitting, and fee reform, it will be too hard to bend the cost curve for apartments to be built at the kind of scale we need to end the shortage. This necessitates public sector intervention.

Super late on this, but I thought it might be interesting to go through the arguments against LVT offered by CalTax in their letter opposing Alex Lee 李天明's AB 362.

White Supremacy is alive and well. But THEY WILL NOT WIN. We will defeat them.

Slimy, shady, stupid. If Liccardo wants a recount paid by his rich friend he should own up to it
