How are we supposed to share a country with these people? I'll go to my grave never forgiving them.

Indeed. There are many good reasons to loathe Reagan's policies. But he wasn't fash. His language (and even actions) on just immigration were day & night from this. And when it comes to how the polity gets moved by leaders & language, that matters.

Will Chamberlain just shouts "I am Nazi, hear me roar." with his full chest, doesn't he?

Yeah this. My blue state middle class butt hasn't touched the supermarket made in NJ stuff in over 10 years. And only bronze-cut domestic brand we found closed during Covid.

If you want to have kids, don't wait until your 40s. Everything just gets way harder as a parent the older you start.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

He's a Federalist society stooge.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

The reality is that the US Department of Homeland Security has been openly seized by unapologetic white nationalists who freely indulge in neo-Nazi rhetoric and use their huge and growing paramilitary army to mount massive attacks on communities of color in the US in a campaign of racist oppression

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

The groan from this Dad-level joke is louder than a shofar.

Maybe b/c I'm in a very odd niche industry, I had to learn early on how to develop a personality outside of my job. Cuz nobody wanted to listen to "Um AKshully, affordable housing is now largely public-private partnerships, with the LIHTC being how the Federal govt finances..."

Or, the avg techbro has the social skills of a wet turnip & just socializes with other techbros b/c that's all they know how to do. "Like yeah dude, I'm totally interested in your latest VC round & your rock climbing club. Sorry, excuse me...I think I see a friend over there I need to talk to."

I guess I'm canning poached quince this weekend.

This early in season, I'll take it.

Russ Vought isn’t really a bureaucrat, he’s an anti-constitutional criminal seizing a bunch of unlawful powers to conduct economic warfare against hundreds of millions of Americans because they live in states that voted against his patron.

NOFA in the bid docs probably included WBE/MBE subcontracting goals.

You either believe that we should rule ourselves or you don't. Doing so is a burden and a grave responsibility. This is not a fair-weather commitment. It is an incredible pain, more often than not. But that is the price of not being slaves. And it is an exceptionally good deal.

Like housing costs, inflation, perceptions of the economy all part of the accelerant mix. But the underlying fuel & ignition source were all already there. We can’t keep going on not fixing THAT & instead just hoping we can keep the accelerants down in the future.

But I do sorta agree with his electioneering point. We’re surrounded by a bunch of kinda shitty people who have grown their ranks largely via social & cultural channels as well as a bunch of barely engaged people easily swayed by emotional propaganda, esp dudely dudes. 🤷

Yeah. And I think some thin skinned YIMBros in his thread are ignoring he literally said “moar housing good”. And I’d bet he’d agree that high housing costs in blue states are pushing people out & making apportionment worse for Dems. Not really a policy disagreement there that I see.

If the Housing Theory is Everything is true, one might want to see someone analyze voting pattern shifts against relative housing cost inflation (as not all submarkets across the country are the same) to see if it’s actually…like, true.
