And how many of my fellow Jews seem to have embraced the ideology that tried to exterminate them.

Here’s why S.F. apartment rents keep surging but L.A. is in a slump San Francisco and Los Angeles apartment rents are diverging. Part of the reason why is supply.

MAGA saying that “no white people” was part of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show implies that they don’t consider Lady Gaga, and her Italian American heritage, “white.” Hence, the definition of whiteness is shrinking under MAGA, and other Italian Americans should take note

AB 1070: Building Codes for "Missing Middle" Housing AB 1070 will direct state agencies to study how using the residential building code for small, multi-family home projects could accelerate the construction of “missing middle” housing.

Concentration camps:

1. ICE is saying REAL ID licences don't count
2. I routinely go for walks without my wallet
3. "If you have have your papers why do you care" is an unamerican response to becoming an 'Ihre Papiere, bitte' society

So the Trump Administration DOUBLE-REDACTED the Epstein Files

This beetle turns off its own pheromones to sneak into an ant colony, then grabs an ant to scoop up their pheromones, and smear them all over their little (smaller than the ant) beetle body. Then the beetle can feast on the ant eggs and larvae inside the ant colony. The catch? It can never leave. 🌱

None other than Art Leahy once described this when answering a question about why LA had lagged in building rail: “people would have said we’re not a city we’re a big village”.

(My one big complaint about City of Quartz is that it fundamentally accepts that reactionary premise)

MAGA dimwit Peter Navarro accidentally admitted Trump-MAGA's claim about immigrants taking jobs is a scam. And as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes, not only is job growth down; *manufacturing* jobs are also down. The whole MAGA story is in collapse.

Yup. I really would like someone who pursues foreign and domestic policies I fully align with, but the 2028 election is too critical to risk letting MAGA retain power. In 2026 and 2028, we have to be focused foremost on removing fascism from power by winning elections.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Why car-centric Los Angeles isn't Amsterdam and doesn't need to be, and the traffic violence epidemic really is one - BikinginLA Last night, I tried to have a rational discussion with someone on Twitter/X who disagreed with me. And was quickly reminded why that’s a bad idea. Admittedly, I eventually lost my cool. Well, only if ...

Not sure if this is the case but holy shit was it the case with Jan 6 when EVERYONE agreed it was one of the worst things Ever and then Dems… let millions of people just lose interest in a matter of weeks

Case dismissed against LA protester accused of assaulting federal officer with cloth hat Judge says US government acted in ‘bad faith’ in case of Jonathon Redondo-Rosales, 36, who spent six months in jail

NEW: Jonathon Redondo-Rosales, a 36-year-old LA protester, spent six months in jail accused of assaulting a federal officer with a *cloth hat.*

A judge tossed out the DOJ’s case, accusing govt of acting in “bad faith” and engaging in “prosecutorial harassment“ that could “chill lawful protest”

This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors.

An Experiment to Move Homeless People Into Long-Term Housing Is Still Going Strong Officials in Oceanside and Carlsbad are working on moving hundreds of unsheltered homeless people into housing. So far, it’s working.

Two California cities housed 75 homeless people using state grants and wraparound services—nearly all stayed housed. Housing-first works.

But the grant-dependent model isn't sustainable. Cities need ongoing funding streams, not competitive grant cycles.

Grand Jury Rebuffs Justice Dept. Attempt to Indict 6 Democrats in Congress

They actually tried to indict sitting members of congress for telling the military not to obey illegal orders. They failed because even the grand jury thought this was ridiculous.

The limit line is the absolute limit. If your vehicle's blind spot is so large, you can't see someone in the crosswalk, it is your responsibility to stop far enough back to see the crosswalk.
This truck's blind spot looks to be big enough to contain an entire compact car.

Expropriation of housing from any California resident who knowingly participated in this admin's crimes against the American people and/or crimes against humanity?

The Best Tactics for Tackling Speeders Drivers who exceed speed limits are the cause of about one-third of all crash deaths in the US. To slow them down and save lives, cities have several effective tools.

"The most important lesson about local speed mitigation tactics is that they save lives; researchers don’t doubt effectiveness. Even better, many residents are eager to see them implemented. The missing link: policymakers courageous enough to do the right thing." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Maybe they should have watched @nerd4cities.bsky.social's "I’m Not Saying Traffic Engineering Is Junk Science But..." video.

California city freezes rent for all of 2026. It could be permanent. "Status quo is sacrificing families right now."

For reference, a perpetual rent freeze would 100% be struck down by federal courts. It wouldn't even have to get to the Supreme Court, and wouldn't need to draw GOP-appointed judges. www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Awesome. Let’s go. Burn it all the way down.

Four Haitian women found decapitated after alleged ICE abduction — families devastated Four Haitian women deported from Puerto Rico were found decapitated near the Dominican border, sparking speculations that ICE is working with cartels and gang members.

The US is deporting people back to certain death. There is blood on the hands of ICE.
