kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

DC council okays record-shattering $6.6B+ stadium subsidy for Commanders in exchange for local hiring promise The D.C. city council voted on Mayor Muriel Bowser's Washington Commanders stadium plan on Friday, and it went as expected, approving the revised agreement 9-3. Needing five votes to block a two-third...

“Commanders owner Josh Harris is now set to get $1.058 billion in city cash plus at least $5.6 billion in free rent and tax breaks, which will be the biggest public sports subsidy in U.S. history by a mile.”

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Wendell Felder is a farcical rubber stamp for the Mayor’s wish list and he could not possibly care less about the residents of his ward. Voting in lockstep with moneyed business interests and opposed to anything that would help the non-wealthy. Of course he wants to subsidize billionaires.

the republican party is a criminal conspiracy against the american republic

Council Budget Office analysis on RFK Stadium deal

The Council Budget Office's analysis of the RFK Stadium deal is out & it's even more expensive than first reported.

Total DC Taxpayer Subsidy: $4.4 billion‼️

We need a better deal. That’s a huge price to pay with not enough coming back to DC taxpayers. There's still time to get it right.

Trump, Miller, Noem et al are disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp to be tortured. They know this is what they're doing. Everyone who has touched this policy belongs in prison.

A picture of Kawishiwi Falls, a large waterfall in Minnesota

Today in northern Minnesota temperatures were in the 50s and I hiked to a waterfall. Picked a really great week to get out of DC

I took 91 rides in June, sorry I would’ve done 107 more if I had known

should a brown man be mayor? We asked a eugenicist

"Too many kids doing computer jobs, we need to get them back in factories."

There is really no way to exaggerate how deranged this shit is.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

I think California needs to start arresting Feds. drastic but we’re there.

A staff member for Sen. Padilla shared this photo with @samsteindc.bsky.social:

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states.

There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Muriel Bowser to DC’s immigrant community in two parts:

It’s too bad they couldn’t find a venue closer than two and a half miles away from the RFK grounds

Bowser moves to formally repeal D.C.’s ‘sanctuary city’ status Four lines of text buried deep in a 300-page budget bill reflect the changing posture of D.C. officials on immigration.

It was five years ago that Mayor Muriel Bowser called D.C. a "proud sanctuary city," but now she’s trying to scrub the designation and protections it offers some immigrants. 51st.news/bowser-moves...

A trailer with a construction notification sign has been positioned to completely block the C Street protected bike lane, despite an adjacent open parking space

DC 311 claims they are “unable to ticket and tow construction equipment. We only ticket and tow vehicles.”

Sigh

If you’ve watched these masked fucking ghouls terrorizing our neighbors and this is your response you can fuck right off.

I am mortified on behalf of the entire city by our Mayor's recent actions. She's sold her soul for football and business donations.

It’s hard to reconcile this moment’s austerity with this mayor’s proposal to finance an NFL stadium with public expenditures, tax exemptions, $1-per-year leases, and giving the team valuable rights to develop non-stadium commercial and residential land.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

there are lots of other things that *could* eventually be built around the stadium and parking, but the only thing you're 100% for certain getting is a stadium and parking
