Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict:

“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything….

“That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants…

Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

AGENDA 2026: The New Mayor Must Revolutionize NYC's Streets - Streetsblog New York City We've already offered the low-hanging fruit that the new mayor could accomplish on Day 1. Now, it's time to roll up the sleeves for our big list.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has the chance to revolutionize the city’s streetscape, as other ambitious mayors did across the globe. Here’s how nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/05/a...

Gold leaf Steinway piano in East Wing of White House

🧵Let's talk about the obvious:

Where in the fuck did all the historic artwork and priceless furnishings go, including the gold leaf Steinway piano that was presented to FDR from the Steinway family?

Did Trump steal all this when he demolished the East Wing?

Why aren't Dems demanding to know?

I'm pissed that they're blaming women for a nonexistent "autism crisis." I'm pissed that they're lying about what autism is and that mainstream people are normalizing what they're saying about autistic people. I'm pissed that this murderous grift is continuing. I'm just pissed.

ah, well

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Imagine if the MAGA Right went after the “right to bear arms” the way they’re going after free speech.

Only one of these is clearly related to Kirk’s death.

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Well, this is one of the most terrifying and anxiety inducing things I've ever seen.

Imagine the road filled with drivers doing this. Now you can understand the hyper vigilance required of pedestrians and bicyclists. And despite that, we can still get splattered because of 3 seconds of distraction.

Screengrab reads: "She knew gentrification was coming when she waw the bike lanes." Heard this in the Katrina Netflix series and its true. While I get excited about bike infrastructure talks, because its needed, folks get priced out fo the area.

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes.

The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’ “I think in a lot of these endeavors we're very like-minded,” Bezos said of himself and Musk regarding getting humans into space.

I don’t know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does:

we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBI’d be more important to you than going to space

This graphic alone is like a fucking dissertation. Incredible stuff. Master class.

Blows a massive hole in every govt's excuse that their level of gov't has no control over freeway spending.

When you strip away humanity

We warn the left not to politicize the tragedy caused by our politics.

A thing that plagues SF, and the US in general, is not looking around and saying: Who has solved this problem somewhere else and what did they do?

Maybe we don't need a 5-year process and billions of consultants to figure this out.

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.

Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

There are two HUGE stories in America this wknd:

1) nationwide protests — all 50 states, not just big cities but small towns & communities — which gathered MILLIONS OF AMERICANS IN THE STREETS TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY

2) political violence is being normalized — as is violence in political situations /1

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

If we are to meet our critical moment in history, we need to reckon with the reality that we are not up against adversaries we have seen before. We are up against End Times Fascism – a belief system that is genocidal at its core and treasonous to the wonder and beauty of this world.

currency of the realm in republican politics is a blithe contempt for life and indifference to suffering

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...)

That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse.

His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Unfortunately, the only way potential 2028 candidates succeed at the "Biden question" is to throw his entire oody and family under the bus.The way TO draw a contrast with Trump's bullshitting IS 1 to not bullshit people about this, but condemn Biden and his family for lying.

I think they should focus entirely on how fascism is bad and we should stop fascists from doing fascism before we all die. I'm built different though

The inference from Doncaster’s words is that they have no faith in the product outside the old firm, which just sucks really. I get that they’re more popular, for reasons, but if they’re always the ones featured on broadcasts then that self-perpetuates

Being in the ‘States, I’m envious of sports like baseball where you pay a monthly/annual fee and get every MLB game (blackouts excepted—and that’s only for live games) with better packaging. Typically with SPFL you subscribe per club, pay more, and get a primitive web front end 😔
