Councilmember Raul Campillo seeks to introduce a ballot measure to permanently enshrine free car storage at beaches and bays, guaranteeing congestion, cruising, and land waste that make those beaches harder to reach for people who can't drive there anyway.

I guarantee that someone on El Cerrito NextDoor is posting "Why can't we just AUDIT the books and cut the WASTE and FRAUD?" (while paying $2500 per year on a $1.2M market value home)

the people yearn for woke 2

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

If I had a nickel for every time Darrell Issa retired rather than run for re election in a newly drawn & more competitive district I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

remember what I said about how, when Trump is flailing or incompetent, the media just subs in a totally fake version of Trump who is rational and not fucking up? Great example here

NEW: Watch this report just in from CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. It is raining oil in Tehran this morning.

A city of 10 million is being actively poisoned.

Obama had gas prices under $2/gallon and absolutely zero big truck owners voted for him

Many of your faves are completely besotted with this myth, and maybe you are yourself. It's one of the more appalling outgrowths of overeducated liberal elitism, an expression of disgust for regular people that has been disguised an observation about political strategy. It's why liberals lose.

The idea that Americans will not care about a political issue unless it's described in terms of impacts on their stomachs, or even worse, their gas prices, is not supported by real-world evidence. It is a contemptuous myth propagated by the smug political class.

The opposition is WRONG ABOUT THIS, by the way. The most devastating moment of Biden's entire presidency was the Afghanistan withdrawal - a largely popular policy that he effected successfully with zero material impacts on Americans, but was covered as a disaster.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

People just take for granted that the vast majority of the Middle Eastern publics do not like this regional system but that it doesn't matter, but, eventually, it clearly will matter again.

Watched a video of Iraqi Shi'a MPs chanting Death To America and Death To Israel during a plenary session on the emergency security situation in the region and frankly I'm still impressed by just how little public buy-in the US actually has for the regional order it has painstakingly crafted.

No one can claim legitimacy in Iran and also let bygones be bygones with the U.S. if those bygones are ‘destroy their power and water and kill a bunch of little girls’

You cannot do this to people and expect Iranian Delcy Rodriguez to emerge to make peace with you. She pulled it off only because the U.S. operation in Venezuela killed mostly security personnel (and indeed, mostly Cuban security personnel)

As it turns out you can in fact build tall buildings next to the ocean without blocking public access to the beach

Repost to scare the California Coastal Commission

i wrote a paper in my college class on the french revolution about how so many schools of history portray the revolution as the nearly inevitable outcome of long term trends in france when i think the truth is it was the highly improbable product of a cascade of micro-level fuck ups by Louis XVI

called it 😂

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

The vacation special

so if we had a liberal outlet that took the nypost/fox approach to news you would have a field day with the "trump crime spree" narrative -- something that official dems mostly ignore, the msm downplays, and actually gets eyeballs *with the truth*

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

Here are the 11 potential expansion locations in blue, which could arrive as early as May.

Successful debut for the Minneapolis traffic safety camera pilot. Speeding down by half at a handful of intersections that had cameras installed.
