Have some other features in the works that I hope to get out over the next month or so. If anyone has any ideas for something they'd like to see in the dashboard, let me know!
The removal of US Census Bureau files is clear government censorship and overreach. Everything must be checked for fidelity to a certain ideology feels like a harbinger of things to come across the board
Things my brilliant sister said recently:
- TRT is gender affirming care for men
- This DEI bullsh*t cancel veteran preference programs (me, her, and my brother are all vets)
- Won't declaring Mexican drug cartels as terror orgs give millions of people viable asylum claims?
♥️
If you're interested in @COSAGOV elections, follow this election map dashboard I created. Older election data and new features will be added semi-regularly, so stay tuned.

Started a new political data project about a month ago, looking at campaign finance data in San Antonio after hearing about how much $$ RenewSA was putting into the Nov election around the ballot measures. You can check out the dashboard here:

Thoroughly enjoyed this article. As someone not from SA, provided good background on political players & power brokers. If you want an example of someone who sells out people to business interests, look at D1

There is a common view in politics that progressive policies are unpopular and radical, and that to be electable you have to run to the center.
This belief is empirically false.
City government is not a business and should not be treated as such. Keep tenure caps. If people want the CM to be paid more, increase the salary of the lowest-paid @COSAGOV employee.

@themollycox@COSAGOV I definitely don't think CM position will go away anytime soon, but Council's job (one of them at least) is to hold CM accountable. Not sure how effective they have been at that.
In meantime, keep caps and limits on CM
