And that since it comes right before Trump's meeting w/Mamdani, it seems to signal conflating Democratic Socialism, which includes at least some policies she seems to embrace, with the actual historic terrors of authoritarian regimes.

Fight the right villain, y'all.

I called my Rep, Kim Schrier WA-8, to state my concern that during a time that medicare, social security, public land, the NEA, & public health including the ACA are all under attack, she felt it was the right time to condemn socialism rather than fascism...

Counterpoint: It's cozy and way better than sunburny summer.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.

He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.

Literally resign tonight.

Oh wow. She does seem like someone I'd want to be friends with, which I suppose is a good sign!

“I wish him only the best in private life” is my new favorite sick burn 🔥

Man, I love Election Day. I love this goofy-ass country. I love this republic. Let's keep it.

Visiting beautiful Durham. How are y’all’s mosquitoes still out and why are they after Yankee blood?

I think the coolest thing you can do right now is live with integrity and care about the people around you, not just your friends and family but your community. Deny the lie they want you to believe, that taking as much as you can while giving nothing back is the goal.

The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards."

"The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.”
Jane Addams, born on this day in 1860

Resident Subsidized Housing As a small and wholly residential community, the Town is home to a great number of philanthropic individuals who are community minded and committed to the continued sustainability of the Town and the region. The Town would create a program where owners may register existing affordable housing units, and sign up residents who wish to support additional affordable units in either conversion of existing space or newly developed dwellings by individually subsidizing them. This somewhat novel approach is not as established as large affordable housing development approaches, but there is evidence that this already occurs in the Town and across our region in other communities, and the legislature's interpretation presented earlier in this document supports this as well. Given the extraordinary circumstances our region faces, the Town believes that taking novel approaches which match the scale and typologies of a community to affordable housing is important when addressing a state and regional issue at a local level. The Town is also keenly sensitive to the need for age-in-place solutions for its seniors and residents on fixed incomes. This approach will enhance the valued demographic diversity of the community

The town of Yarrow Point (pop. 1,130, median home sale price $4.4 million) has a new proposal to increase its stock of affordable housing: cataloging all of the "philanthropic individuals" who are renting their houses out and getting credit for that.

New York’s hottest saint is Elizabeth Ann Seton. Born into a prominent Episcopalian family, this saint has everything: a dead mom, a divorced dad, life set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, TUBERCULOSIS, a religious conversion, the composition of a banger top 40 hymn, the War of 1812

3 weeks into covid, I’m now also sick with some new thing, and I hereby formally submit my complaint to the Department of No Fairs.

My favorite James Dobson fact is he believed that a lot of wives bait their husbands into hitting them.

Just downloaded the Merlin birdwatching app. My beginner PNW birding book couldn’t tell me what the orange-crowned warbler on my porch was, apparently because it’s uncommon, and now that I’ve got an uncommon bird on my list, this app is my whole personality.
