This is quite good.

My grandpa was a gun collector, mom’s a gun owner, I’m a gun owner.

First lesson: you don’t point the gun at something unless you intend to kill it. Even if it isn’t loaded. Even if the safety’s on.

If ICE/cops point a gun at you, they are either too ignorant for the job or they want to kill you.

Where Have All the Republican Mayors Gone? There were plenty not that long ago. We could use some of their pragmatism now.

I'd like the author of this article to please identify where the "pragmatic" Republicans are

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Like I said, “the line internal to itself”

Austin is getting a new rail station! Love to see this — as the developer is building out their project, they're working with CapMetro to make sure residents, workers, and visitors can access the site without bringing a car. 🥳 www.capmetro.org/majorproject...

Exactly! I had a Swiftie try to tell me not to read into every line like that. But I’m like, isn’t that way she wants and what Swifties always do??

That's what I'm saying. Which is what led me to wonder: is she suggesting that she wants her neighbors to all look like them?

The line internal to itself says have “a couple” of kids and then the whole block looking like you

I got a “it’s just that not that deep” before a sign-off.

I was just watching a great video mentioning that exact phrase as a sign and perpetuation of anti-intellectualism that helped get us to this point! 💀

A Swiftie saying they won’t put energy toward a song lyric is like… LOL. So funny.

But also?? This is cult behavior???

When I explained that rightwing folks are receiving it that way, I got:

“That’s awful that people are receiving it that way. She’s not responsible for it though. Not gonna argue cuz like I said I appreciate the heart behind it. I personally will not be putting my energy toward a song lyric”

I expressed concerns about the racial readings of it (hello, I work in housing advocacy and I am a cultural geographer).

“Huuuge reach in my opinion”
“Ok”
“That line isn’t even weird though dude”

Lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song, Wi$h Li$t with a highlighted line that reads, “Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you”. (Complete text from screenshot below). I just want you, huh Have a couple kids, got the whole block looking like you We tell the world to leave us the fuck alone, and they do, wow Got me dreaming about a driveway with a basketball hoop Boss up, settle down, got a wish list I just want you They want that freedom, living off the grid They want those three dogs that

Tried to have an honest conversation with some Swifties about this very weird line from “Wi$h Li$t” and got basically what you’d expect

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Karin Immergut hears emergency arguments as California and Oregon seek to block President Trump's deployment of federalized California National Guard troops to Portland. 🧵

This administration is waging war on Americans. Full stop. Not hyperbole. Literal, physical violence.

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera

(and then prosecute them)

California! Make the call. Climate, democracy... it's all wrapped up in this bill.

Taylor Swift thinking of euphemisms for Travis Kelce:

People want to have kids and live downtown. Can they? - Western City Magazine For decades, planners focused on attracting young singles to dense urban cores. That dynamic has shifted, in part because ...

NEW: “Some still insist ‘downtowns will never attract kids and shouldn’t try.’ Then they design downtown to virtually repel kids, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Vancouver proves the opposite can be true...”

I’m quoted in this article by @johnlorinc.bsky.social for @calcities.bsky.social

How long can Taylor Swift do this type of album before people get bored?

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Welcome to the resistance, director of the Eisenhower library in Kansas who would not let the president steal a historic sword

“deserve” peace

Amazing comms failures happening from “leadership.”

Bigotry? Costs? Budget cuts? Health? What are we talking about here?

They’re all related in some sense, sure, but sense requires some sense-making!

Could you share the link? I want to pass it on.

Trump’s new tariffs will slam America’s already brutal housing crisis October’s “kitchen cabinet” tax will affect homebuyers and renters alike.

Housing in America is about to get more expensive, thanks to new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump that will take effect this Wednesday, October 1. www.vox.com/policy/46311...
