California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation. So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.

S.F. already has a tangible, replicable model to address its housing crisis sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo… via @sfchronicle

@RepJeffries Please don't claim the crime doesn't exist. Instead, focus on Felon47's militarization of one of our cities as a massive step toward authoritarianism. Two things can be true. 47's response is undemocratic, but you will lose people if you don't acknowledge the problem's existence.

Violent crime in Washington, D.C. is at a thirty-year low. Donald Trump has no basis to take over the local police department. And zero credibility on the issue of law and order. Get lost.

Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks

Hey Trump voters. Hate to break it to you - but here’s what actually happened on Tuesday. Watch. Bernie explained it 20 years ago.

The United States has the strongest economy in the world.

Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!! Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

Charlie Kirk is upset that Republican women may “undermine their husbands” and secretly vote for Harris while telling their husbands they voted for Trump, even though the husband “works his tail off to make sure that she can have a nice life.”

This gentleman is spot-fucking-on about why MAGA fascists worship a loathsome piece of shit who 99% of the democratic free world thinks is a disgusting bucket of ass vomit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

Here’s me receiving an outpouring amount of affection during the “day of love”—January 6, 2021.

Oh

@JustVent6 heartbreaking.

Humanity, based on Skin Color 😒

@BillOReilly Here's the ad that triggered @BillOReilly:

President Biden has signed the Lake Tahoe Restoration Reauthorization Act into law. Senate Bill 612 will help fund activities such as forest health and fighting invasive species through 2034. bit.ly/3Y8q8NE

My (free!) farewell column after 23 years -- why I wish I'd been carrying a camera my first day on the gig, and why S.F.'s future is brighter than what the doomsters say: sfchronicle.com/sf/article/bui…

This is only the beginning folks

The crisis of today's men and boys deserves serious attention.

Just like women and girls needed support, men and boys need our help now. Spoiler alert: there is no map out -- yet. Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness. wapo.st/3F0ly9L
