Fuck that shit, cordially and respectfully. We don't need fare gates. We need free transit.

In my experience, the only way to prevent Democratic Party spam is to never donate to any Democratic candidate or cause.

Actually, it's not "verified" because it's fake.

A record-setting Dow Jones means things are *great* for rich people, but things are always great for rich people. Today's the greatest of the great days for rich people.

You and I don't know any rich people, though.

I can't remember ever eating at a Pizza Hut that wasn't underperforming.

Damn, I thought I had a clever retort but yours is perfection.

Have you no decency? (to coin a phrase)

Even criminals don't deserve the illegal, inhumane, unconstitutional, daily war crimes committed as standard practice by these Secret Police. We need nothing less that disbanding the agency, all of DHS, and serious investigations of everyone employed there.

Zero arrests. Are you all talk, Gov Walz?

Incredibly tacky and unAmerican that all the anti-ICE nominations โ€” for a snowplow โ€” were excluded by MSDOT.

โ€œBecause I filmed the Proud Boys for years, because I was in Charlottesville and at the January 6 riot, and spent five months filming the ICE agents in Federal Plaza, Iโ€™m convinced they are the same people. Itโ€™s impossible to find a whole new army of aggressive, violent, immature, Call to Duty Trump sycophants. Thatโ€™s why theyโ€™re masked. People are gonna start figuring it out. Thatโ€™s why he pardoned them all.โ€

It's on Substack, so no, it's not "good work."

Thank you โ€” the background info makes the banner even more beautiful.

Damn, I wish I was there.

What's the building? In addition to the great graphics, I'm extra impressed that it looks like it has functional shops (an occupied building draws more attention than an empty building).

Anyone who's NOT a cop and publicly lied about their boss and said they'd refuse to do what they're told WOULD BE FIRED PRONTO.

I'm 2,000 miles away and only vaguely aware who Kat Abughazaleh is, but if this ad is even 50% accurate she's awesome.

The Atlantic used to be pretty good. I used to subscribe. Whole lotta used to be.

I don't know them, but hope to. Obvious good guys, just a typo, and I should've kept my yap shut, sorry.

That's exactly my takeaway. Plucky local business is manned almost entirely by temps. Speaking as a guy who has a bowl of their toffee on the table, it's hard to root for a company like that.

I like the idea, but not knowing these folks I'm a little skeptical when the listed date is wrong. Friday is the 30th.

> To close the street it costs about $13k if it were a Saturday 9-3.

That's preposterous. The city needs to -1- ensure there's a workable detour for the day, -2- post the detour on signs, and -3- deliver and later pick-up a few concrete roadblocks. **$13,000** for that?

And Chuck Schumer, if we're making a list and checking it twice.

Ouch, "national treasure" seems like a bit of a reach, but the WaPost *does* still deliver good journalism day-to-day, despite management's best efforts to impede.
