ICE you're running the Walmart brand of a concentration camp not some high security prison.

Also worth pointing out that ICE is detaining random people and among other things, isn't willing to accommodate their spiritual needs. I'm a secular person but I hate how much America dehumanizes those it detains.

I wonder how any Catholic member of the Gestapo feels seeing their God turned away. They should consider that if you ask me.

Really evocative imagery if you know Catholic theology. Bringing a monstrance with the Eucharist to a place of evil is really powerful. Jesus legit showed up with his homies and ICE said "you are not welcome here"

I've been asking myself it for a bit. Not sure I can think of a US President more emotionally immature.

Honestly I think Trump DOES deserve the Noble Peace Prize or something like it, for his tireless work to defeat sexism by showing just how emotional, irrational, and frankly silly a man is capable of being in leadership.

Every woman he has ever faced off against was leagues more qualified than him.

I really need to make a collage of all the places Connecticut NIMBY's think have 'character' that they fought housing over.

Look, Connecticut is famously photogenic as hell, but we actually don't need an endless sea of 2-acre lot housing to be pretty. Connecticut has NATURAL and EFFORTLESS beauty.

Welp, at least Connecticut banned towns from citing 'neighborhood character' as a reason for rejecting housing because that is basically the entire justification for New England NIMBYism: "Okay but it wouldn't look pretty"

Congratulations to Californians for the zoning reform. Lots more to do but great advances have been made it seems!

Totally not seething and stirring restlessly over here in Connecticut, the mecca of northeast NIMBYism.

It is 2025 and they still can't get over girls with blue hair. We get it, you love them. Just ask them out on a date already dudes. Hell, maybe be one. Be the blue haired girl.

"Keep pressure on Democrats"

I think they're confused about who is being pressured here.

But remember: Charging Donald? Totally unacceptable.

Gorgeous architecture and great land-use!

This is so prettyyyyy!

Could write a good one about my own neighborhood probably as well, depending how extensively I expand the definition of it lol. My town has a bit of cool history.

Going to start doing this for Connecticut, except I'll throw shade at a lot of the state by only doing one for the few walkable, TOD communities. Because those are the best ones, not all the Connecticut towns of 20-60k who think they have 'character' with rows upon rows of midcentury homes.

Repeat: Don't call them snowflakes. That really hurts their feelings.

How the hell we ever took Conservatives seriously calling the left snowflakes is insane to me.

Could I say that I think your writing is good, could you please write about trans rights ☺️🙏🏼🙏🏼 😁 ? They say you get more flies with honey than vinegar. Please and thank you.

I can't stop thinking about this. We're pursuing zero fire risk in multifam, while tolerating much more in single-fam. People respond by building and living in single-fam, where they're exposed to not only one of the highest fire death risks in the developed world, but also TONS more car crash risk

As a Nutmegger who generally wishes Blumenthal would retire, Trump can fuck all the way off. No one asked for the input of a tyrant.

Governor Lamont allowed small towns in Connecticut dictate state policy by vetoing the recent housing bill, despite all evidence showing the ones complaining had never made a good-faith effort to build housing. Don't mistaking local politician's 'power' for democratic control.

To be clear: Not only is this deeply unethical, its also illogical. You cannot force treatment. It has to be voluntary, because unless someone chooses to go, they will simply not succeed. Treatment for something like a substance abuse disorder or mental health issue requires willingness to succeed.

LMAO a Greek would like that answer

Autocrats often obtain power through ad hoc means by forcing compliance. Yeah, I get being fearful but actually we should all be really loud and difficult. Make it impossible for them to control us.

Americans are amazing at being difficult and not listening. Do that.

I question what they think Washington meant when he said he'd be a President rather than a King. Do they think its a performative word, with no real difference?

I realistically cannot fathom a 'leader' at Millers level that incites as much violent rhetoric. If we wanted to organize against the removal of any official besides Donald, it should be Miller. Miller is doing so much to inflame tensions. He absolutely wants to foster violence against minorities.

I joined the profession (Newly minted) because of brave heroic Attorneys like Thurgood Marshall, not these sycophants. Makes me want to get into constitutional/civil rights law honestly.

Would like to state I doubt Trump is the only politician in the files, and I hope they ALL get held accountable. If Bill Clinton is in the files, screw him too.
