“Iran has Tomahawk missiles, a fact we disclosed only after a Tomahawk was caught on camera striking a school, in Iran, during a US bombardment consistently of hundreds of Tomahawk missiles”

-if your news org isn’t openly attacking this claim you may as well run Sandy Hook false flag theories too

The thing that makes me most pro-natalist is how bitter and backward looking the politics of the developed world are getting as the population ages. We haven’t gotten stability with a greying electorate, we’ve gotten more volatility as there’s increasing hay to be made of grievance-mongering.

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Also, he is what Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson told everyone Biden was. Their silence now is deafening. And damning.

First bill of its kind in the US! 👏👏

Int’l code harmonization, cut out of this, was opposed by one (1) interest group: the Big Four elevator companies whose outsize profits are protected by the US’s unique code.

Let’s win the whole loaf in Oregon in 2027 & build the accessible homes we’ll need

the pattern we saw today was also how it went during Covid and the Liberation Day crashes. The market crashes, Trump says exactly what the market wants to hear and the market rallies back, it's then revealed that what Trump was saying is bullshit, but the market stays up instead of crashing

Yikes. Scary how much we’re overpaying teachers!! Ban property taxes now!!!

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

to add to this: not sure how many people realize how many active "small family farms" in the USA have been economically unviable for decades already and basically exist as a heavily subsidized hobby for the owners

'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

Did anyone attend this event today to restore your rights that were STOLEN from you!?

Nostalgia is the drunk relative of history.

This is like a YIMBY activation phrase

“…about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.

ChatGPT had deemed it “D.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. “Because it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”

To be fair, even if the property is your primary residence, Prop 19 2020 can be pretty brutal if you inherited a home in Silicon Valley. Check out the fate of Palo Alto Peter's kids:

Oh sorry... are you a Milpitas Bay Area supporter?

It's true that Oakland is west of Palo Alto, and the... um... Palo Alto Bay Area.

“.. Here's a fun fact: The United States now has fewer manufacturing jobs today (12.573M) than it did in March 2018 (12.576M) when Trump first started his tariff wars:”

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

"2020's Prop 19 stole your rights (Prop 58) to keep your parents' tax basis when you inherit family property."

Fun project idea. Please explain this sentence to 3 people you know who have never lived in California.

"I’ll tell you what though, I remember that shit! I never took anything that wasn’t mine ever again."

I guess you're never going to work in GOVERNMENT.

(Sorry, trying out my NextDoor Comedy Festival material)

The best part is that there are people who are big mad that voters STOLE their ability to inherit the property taxes for all of their parents' properties. Best of luck explaining this to people outside of our state!

There Have Been No Approvals for New Transit Projects in the First Year of the Current Trump Administration

For the 1st time in the 1st year of a presidential administration since at least 1993, under Trump 2, the Federal Transit Administration signed 0 new contracts for major transit projects, like subways or light rail.

The US is facing a crisis of rail transit investment: www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

They bought their North Beach dream home. The city says it must become four apartments Tenants rights groups are calling on San Francisco officials to make a North Beach couple fix a problem they did not create and revert their home to the four-unit complex.

Struck by the fact that some of the same groups demanding this family convert their home back into four units to help relieve the housing shortage also oppose land use reforms to encourage the production of new housing. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/n...
