the bigotry is bad enough on its own but this shows me he has no idea how to fight back and win against these people, totally disqualifying

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

this is true, but an awful lot goes into immigration rising in salience; it’s not some natural phenomenon. we shouldn’t reckon with this as unavoidable but as the pretty clear result of an information environment awash in bad faith propaganda being entertained and amplified by legacy media

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

New Woodward High boundary options keep current Whitman, Bethesda-Chevy Chase attendance zones Attendance zones for Walt Whitman and Bethesda-Chevy Chase high schools would remain the same while those for schools such as Walter Johnson High and Northwood High School would shift.

MCPS is redrawing school boundaries before Woodward HS opens in 2027—while Bethesda-area schools will largely stay the same, high schools in Silver Spring will become even more segregated by class and race. bethesdamagazine.com/2025/10/09/w...

The GOP has done nothing on healthcare in the 21st century other than stop Dems from improving it. Literally nothing.

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

YouTube Settles Trump Lawsuit for $24.5 Million

Call me old fashioned but I think taxation should be based on how much money you have, and administered through a federal revenue agency. I do not think it should be administered through civil suits and based on whether your conduct makes the president sad or not. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/t...

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

Describe a single historical precedent for defeating authoritarians by being nicer to them.

Tapping the sign

SB 79 runs afoul of the principle of subsidiarity, which argues that problems should be solved at the most local level achievable. Families understand their problems better than neighbors, communities are better at directing their futures than cities, and so on.

Also, Los Angeles’ city government has had plenty of time to address its housing shortage and homelessness crisis.

It has not done so because *most of Los Angeles’ elected officials do not actually want to build housing.*

As such, SB 79 *is* solving the problem at the most local level achievable.

This absolute banger

it’s another example of the media-driven phenomenon in which republicans don’t have to answer for open racism by politicians in actual positions of power and democrats must answer for every woke sixteen year old with a tumblr account

it’s not that we don’t know how to solve a lot of these problems, it’s that we don’t want to

It's 2018. The LA City Council is opposing SB827 because it overrides local control. Rent is $1,663

It's 2019. The LA City Council is opposing SB50 because it overrides local control. Rent is $1,791

It's 2025. The LA City Council is opposing SB79 because it overrides local control. Rent is $2,625

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

it's crazy how we just take for granted now that the president is a deranged racist

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

New York, NY – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, candidate for Mayor of New York City, today announced ‘Zohran’s Law,’ a plan to protect the city’s rent-stabilized apartments from being occupied by high-income individauls, ensuring these limited, affordable units go to New Yorkers who actually need them. Under Cuomo’s proposal, when a rent-stabilized apartment becomes vacant, the incoming individual income would be capped so that the annual rent makes up at least 30 percent of that income. For example, if an apartment rents for $2,500 a month ($30,000 per year), the new tenant’s income could not exceed $100,000. New York City is in the grip of a housing emergency. The city does not have enough units, and the drastically low vacancy rate is driving up prices, squeezing families, and forcing many to leave in record numbers.

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.

the left did their part during Biden's presidency - they weren't the ones gumming up the works, everything that didn't pass was because of Manchin or Sinema

now, in the face of open fascism, a little party solidarity is the absolute least they should expect

DC statehood absolutely needs to be a non-negotiable for every Democrat running for office. and senate dems must support abolishing the filibuster to push it through

If you know DC you understand how tremendously goofy this is

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

lot of parallels here with twitter. Bezos doesn't have a vision going forward because the whole vision was to gut the post as a liberal bastion. generating revenue would be nice, but the real point was just to remove an obstacle to fascist consolidation.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

yeah seems bad how the whole premise is based on maga supporters needing to set aside everything their politics demand of them to allow for a normal, human interaction without harming their counterparts!

I think the invasion hoax is just as much about the idea about criminalizing the domestic supporters of immigrants (the Democrats) who are “traitors” and “treasonous” for not wanting to shoot the “invaders.” So they can square this circle with more insane triangulation

Do not believe it when people tell you the opposite, it is at best self serving when they do so, which is understandable, but still harmful
