I haven't bought ground beef for a while now because it's just insanely expensive. But saw this 3-day sale at Food Maxx and had to go for it! But apparently nobody told the meat department about the sale, and they didn't have any of the 10lb chubs ready for sale. They had to make some phone calls and figure it out, but I did get it eventually!

Thought others might like to know about this. Anyone else seeing good sales out there for meat?

Just saw this group over I80, I think at Madison Ave. Give em a honk if you're going by!

I got this info from Yolo Indivisible and wanted to share! They setup interviews for the Democrats in the race, and put them on YouTube so we can check them out and make an informed decision.

As you probably know, your district might have changed due to the passage of Prop 50 last November. The new 6th district includes West Sac, Parts of North and East Sac, Citrus Heights, Roseville and Rocklin. Hopefully the map image above is helpful, I took it from Ballotpedia.

From Yolo Indivisible: Congressional District CD6 - Candidate Forum Interviews

Indivisible Yolo’s West Sacramento Action Circle is proud to present California Congressional District 6 candidate interviews that were conducted May 6-7, 2026.

The videos are unedited. We invited the five Democrat candidates to participate (Guerrero, Ho, Pan, Tomlinson and Vandenberg). All of them accepted our invitation and were then sent the list of questions the day before their interview.

[Edit to clarify: Mr. Ho accepted the invitation but was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict.]

Please come out and join us for "Pint of Politics" this Sunday! It's a fun casual event with lots of political groups, speakers, candidates, etc.

They don't publish the speakers/groups in advance, but I know that the Ranked Choice Voting folks will be there (and there has been a lot of interest about that issue in this sub). There will also be some discussion about the recent Supreme Court decision against the Voting Rights Act, and how groups are pushing back against voter disenfranchisement.

In addition Annie Fisher, who's running for Sacramento County Board of Education in District 1, will explain why this race matters so much to parents and non-parents alike. There will also be a canvassing training, to get ready for the upcoming political campaigns.

And in the past this event has featured groups like NorCal Resist, CalCare, the Chris Bennet campaign, McClatchy High School Student Political Advocacy and Resistance Collective, Gender Health Center, Indivisible Sacramento, Third Act, Sister District, and many more! I assume many of these groups will be there again.

This is from 2-4pm at Oak Park Brewing Co, 3514 Broadway, Sacramento. Hope you can come out, get informed on current issues, and find ways to get involved!

And please share this with anyone you think might be interested!

Thanks to everyone who came out today to protest against ICE, and to everyone who honked, waved, and showed your support!! Here are some pics from today.

Also wanted to thank congressional candidate Tyler Vandenberg (u/tv4ca) for showing up, talking to people, and answering questions about his campaign! He's running in the new 6th district, which includes West Sacramento and parts of Sacramento as well. From Tyler:

"I'm a seven-year Marine Corps Veteran, a Jeopardy! Champion, and a proud Great Society Democrat. I have a simple platform of three basic pillars:

1. Hold the Trump Administration Accountable.
2. Rebuild Our Great Society.
3. Ensuring America is Safe for Everyone.

I run a people-powered, grassroots campaign with no corporate PAC or foreign-linked PAC money. I'm aiming to host another AMA soon to answer questions from the community; I very much look forward to answering any you may have here as well."

Finally I'll mention that Yolo Indivisible is currently doing recorded interviews with each of the congressional candidates, and will post them soon on Youtube. I'll put up a new post about it once it's published. Personally I have not made up my mind yet, and don't really know most of the candidates, so I'll be excited to watch this!

Sending out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated groceries and bought arts and crafts at the Howe & Arden protest today!!! We brought 4 big trunk-loads of food over to NorCal Resist, and raised around $700 for them as well!!

While we were waiting for NCR to open up their pantry, an Afghan family came by hoping to get some groceries, and we hooked them up with several full bags to take home. It was great to actually meet some of the people who are being helped by all of the donations from the community!

However they also wanted diapers, which we did not have. So if anyone has extra diapers to donate (even a half bag that your kids outgrew) please donate them to NCR! They have a donation bin at Abatin (2100 29th St), and I think some other locations (anyone know?).

Great to see everyone pitch in today and directly help our immigrant community!!

The May Day festivities on the Capitol Mall are on-going right now until about 5pm, please come check it out!! Lots of booths including some great food, art, and political groups. Also music, speakers, and another march at 3:45 from SEIU office at 681 West Capitol Ave.

This is all happening in front of the John Moss Federal Building (650 Capitol Mall), showing solidarity with our immigrant community!

Please come join us, it's a good cause and a lot of fun too!!

Pics are from the the Southside Park march to the Capitol Mall earlier today.

Please join us on Saturday to protest against ICE and Trump, check out amazing local art, and contribute to the food drive!! All of the proceeds and food will go to NorCal Resist, to help our immigrant community in these tough times!

Noon to 2pm at Howe & Arden, hope you can make it!

If you follow these discussions you might be aware that Sacramento is a "sanctuary city", but that policy is somewhat outdated because ICE has become much more aggressive under the Trump administration. Now the Council is considering an update to the policy which would prohibit any city resources from being used to assist ICE, including use of city owned properties.

So the Asian American Liberation Network (AALN) and a broader network of community organizations and activists are asking you to please contact Sacramento City Council by TUESDAY to let them know that you support the new policy proposal! They're also asking to close loopholes that still allow SacPD to assist ICE and federal agents in some ways.

Passing along this info from AALN: Submit your eComment by 4/28 at 2PM to demand that Sacramento stop using city resources for immigration enforcement. Your eComment can help push for real local changes, so write it now!
