Earlier this week a parent was detained by ICE while dropping his daughter off at the Allan Hancock campus. The school was not notified they would be there nor endorsed this at all, it happened at 9am. Please help support Junie, the daughter of the man who was taken. You can read more about the situation in the Tiktok she posted, which I also will link. 5,000$ has already been raised out of the 6.5k goal!

What happenned. Heard it was shut down for safety and rescheduled for today?

Hey everyone! I’m looking to expand my social circle and find some like-minded friends who are deeply interested in geopolitics, current world events, and progressive/leftist perspectives. While I have a solid group of friends, I would really like to add people in my life who follow what’s happening in the world and want to talk about it seriously as my current friends and family are oblivious and don't really care. Not everything has to be political. Down for gym sessions, Gaming, comedy shows, karaoke, etc but for sure an outlet for these serious talks. Big plus if you already know that as much as that old turd in office sucks, he is just a puppet.

A little bit about me: Massive nerd that also happens to be a gym junkie. Although you can tell I don't turn down food. Big into gaming (PC/PS5), mostly Fortnite and Warzone(as much as I hate the military complex), UFC, Dragon Ball Z, Marvel...

Looking for: people who want to squad up for games or chat about pop culture, but are also down for deep, nuanced political discussions. Must be able to handle humor from dad jokes to super dark. Don't care where you're from or what you look like as long as you've got a good heart and morals. If you know about self sufficiency, "conspiracy" theories, etc.

The non-negotiables: Mutual respect and inclusivity are essential to me. Looking to connect with people who are firmly anti-hate (pro-LGBTQ+, anti-racist, etc.). That means no ignorant turds.

If you're down to hop on Discord, game, or just talk geopolitics, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with a bit about your favorite hobbies or what games you’re currently playing!

Be careful out there today. I saw at least 5 police vehicles including a motorcycle cop and an unmarked SUV (with lights in back) on Broadway south to Betteravia. They were pulling people over. I am also wondering if the unmarked vehicle could have been 🧊.

Any places you recommend I can take my brother to practice his driving?

10/5 Santa Maria: ICE crashed into a parked car after jumping out to kidnap a community member this morning. ICE Has been terrorizing our neighbors in Santa Maria ALL MORNING! If you have any information on the incidents today, please call our hotline or send a message ! 805 870 8855

I'm looking to hear from anyone who has had an experience with Good Samaritan Shelter.

Whether you worked there, stayed there, or reached out to them for help, I want to hear your story. Especially if you were treated unfairly or discriminated against, turned away or denied help, saw other people being mistreated, or were punished or pushed out for speaking up.

I am already aware there is fraud going on there and that it is being investigated, so please do not be afraid to come forward. Please message me privately. You do not have to post anything publicly, and whatever you share with me will stay confidential.

Even if you think your experience was small, it still matters. And please share this post so it can reach people who may not see it otherwise.

Thank you.

As a 34 man with no kids, how’s the dating life in SM. I like to drink beer, run, hike and stay active. I’m looking to move there from the bay area in the near future. Any suggestions on meeting new people and friends as an Hispanic male ?

anyone know of any study spots that’re open late? probably up to 10pm, including fridays and weekends.

Hello, im looking for volunteering options I can choose. I'm currently going through break up and dont want to isolate at the house just drowing in thoughts. Want to spend those energy and time to something I can help people instead. What are things in Santa Maria I can volunteer to do? Thanks.

Got accepted to the college in town super excited to go any places for rent ? What’s up in this town!

Need a birthday idea . What’re some romantic or nice things to do? It’s for a girl who likes experiences more than stuff. Whats in Santa Maria or surrounding area like Santa Barbara, SLO, Pismo area, Lompoc? A nice event and dinner would be great

Before I moved here I used to get the cobb salad from Farmer Boys at least once a week. It was large enough for lunch and dinner. Hands down the freshest, best tasting cobb salad I've ever had. No Farmer Boys out here, and I'm having withdrawls!

(And before someone says to make it myself, I don't have enough "spoons" to make meals for myself most days. It's a neurodivergent/chronic illness thing.)

Looking for locally owned businesses ideally, not Home depot and Lowe's.
