the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Yes, America - the president is telling you you’ll be paid to take your meds.

Also they fucking rammed a "suspect" before this alleged assault-on-motor-vehicle occurred? Was that suspect committing the crime of being brown near gestapo?

Probably a pure fabrication but if it isn't, it sounds like she assaulted a car, not a person.

If the pictures taken by bus lane cameras are available for public review, I'm fairly certain we can find the last time he and his Charger were near a bus, in the bus lane.

These folks all deserve each other.

‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It. A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet.

Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile?

So too the question "is he really that racist?" Surprise! Answer is still yes.

Kudos to all the republicans who knew he was this way but saw personal profit in supporting a racist, stupid, crook.

The answer to the questions "could he be that stupid?" and "could he be that corrupt?" is always, always, always "yes."

That any of this surprises us is a testament to our unwillingness to just look at the guy and listen to the words he says.

Yes, about the suspension of his account after J6. Meritless case.

I am reconsidering my relationship with Google and the Android ecosystem, but I am finding that Apple isn't much better? And those are the options, unless you go dumbphone or know significantly more about computers/programming than I do.

Hey maybe it's Not Good that the only options you have as a casual smartphone consumer are Apple, who is doing ICE's bidding, and Google, who just paid Trump off in the YouTube settlement.

LA: we will fight you.

Chicago: we will fight you.

PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

Three cheers for multimodal transportation!

The contrarian got the job by convincing the third-richest man in the world, a key supporter of the sitting president, that she shared his worldview

You may have heard that Wednesday was my last day after nearly 20 yours of serving as a career employos at the Justice Department. This news may have come as a surprise to you, as it did to me when I received a letter stating that I had hoon terminated immediately, without cause, It appears that my termination was based on little more than a single social media post containing false information I am disappointed to leave behind a national security and puhbu safety mission that I truly believed in. I am even more disappointed to see what has happened to this office and the Department of Justice in just a few short months. The decisioni in remove experimod career officials from US Attorneys Offices, the FBI, and other critical parts of DOI undermines mar country's ability to mnter terrorist crganizations, malign nation-state actors, and countless ethers that seek to harm our nation and its citiems I am proud of the work I have done on behalf of the American people. I am humbled arrated the victims of crime and their families in ensuring that the criminal justice system provided a mesure of clans. I am sroubled that I was removed an abruptly in the middle of important work, including the prosecution of Mohammad Sharifullah, the only person to face justion in the United Stann for the homhing at the Abbey Ciate of the Hamid Karzai International Airport. This prosecution meant to bring justice to the 13 United States service members and suns of civiliam killed and mjwed. While I have the utmost confidence in my on-name, my aheupt, apparently thoughtless removal with as period of transition will hurt this case. This eximybe highlights the most troubling moet of the current operations of the Department of Justice the leadership is more concerned with peamishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with pertesting our national security. Justice for Americans killed and injured by our enemies should not be contingent on what someone in the Department of Justice ane…

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that.

Shameless!

"Spelled b-u-c-k-e-t"

"Every synagogue in the world is a valid target unless they actively release a statement rejecting Israel to this person's liking" is the same logic of "Every Palestinian person is a potential terrorist unless they actively denounce Hamas."

Too many lines to quote, but I always loved Jay's flow on this:

Huddlin' over the oven, we was like brothers then (What?)
Though you was nothin' other than a son of my mother's friend

Same in NYC. Didn't have cable but Mr. Bean, Keeping Up Appearances, and Fawlty Towers were the best on our local PBS station.

"Contrarian" is killing me, the whole premise of the Free Press is telling rich elderly and middle-aged men that they're right about everything

Great thread, and more reason to be excited for the Court Street bike lane going in as we speak! These lanes make the streets safer, and not just for cyclists.

Trump obtains another settlement as YouTube agrees to pay $24.5 million Alphabet settles with Trump instead of fighting lawsuit over January 6 suspension.

When this EV maker collapsed, its customers became the car company Meet the Fisker Owners Association.

Fascinating story, which also provides an answer to the question "why do I keep seeing Fisker Ocean's w/TLC plates in NYC."

The official added "Brett said I could."

On-brand for a new Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney's first act to be "ceremonially hand the judge some papers" and they don't just screw it up, they also lie about it and are instantly caught because what they said contradicts the thing they just handed to the judge.

Makes sense, thanks.

(Sincerely) Why?
