Alten Försterei in SF 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Well when you are owned by private equity…

And pretty much everyone over the age of 45 in San Francisco is second degree to everyone Willie Brown knows

Same but Kaiser Wilhelm the 1st

Trump, Tony Hawk and the Doobie Brothers are all second degree connections to my anonymous ass.. that’s how ridiculous this is

That is good architecture… the one above not so much

If the average American has 50 acquaintances they “know reasonably well” then the average American is 3 hops away from any other American.

I’m a bit of a curmudgeon and introvert and I easily have more than 50…

Now now I’m sure the guy who took Trump’s tests at Wharton has read Gatsby

Could be worse - could be street chicken

These individuals need to be personally held accountable for violating the law and constitution.

Without personal consequences for LEOs this behavior will only get worse

We have a winner folks

“Art Deco doesn’t go with, you know, 1850 and civil wars and all of the problems,” Mr. Trump said. “But what does is statuary marble. So I ripped it apart and we built the bathroom. It’s absolutely gorgeous and totally in keeping with that time.”

This is like Drunk History meets This Old House

The ACA Has an Absolute Bombshell Hidden in It, and Dems Can Take Advantage of It We can build a system that is resilient to Trump's sabotage efforts.

Seems like a Dem Gov aspiring to be President might want to take up this challenge: a unified health insurance market.

"Section 1333 of the ACA explicitly authorizes states to form Health Care Choice Compacts where qualified health plans operate across state lines"

Wait they are only figuring this out now?

President Donald Trump's approach to the upcoming elections is lacking the bluster of previous fights — and insiders suggest he thinks Republicans have already lost, the Washington Post reported Saturday.

I think Democrats have a much bigger problem if we're taking advice from fucking Ross Douthat.

Do conservatives understand the point of anything ever written?

Um… this describes bad decisions based on using mean not median - though conceptually the same and often confused they are not the same.

If Dems designed their politics to the mean rather median voter (assuming you could even properly measure such things) we would have far more progressive policies

Ross is a fucking moron. The idea that the “median voter” is even a thing is incredibly stupid and lazy both conceptually and mathematically.

Unfortunately in Douthout’s case this observation probably doesn’t even make the top 10 dumb things he has ever said.

In SF you either get 1000 trick or treaters or 0….

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Yeah but we are told the Reagan Republicans are the “good Republicans”

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up.

2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.

For One Day at Least, Long Live the King King Charles III shows us—but, really, congressional Republicans—what actual accountability looks like when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

"Johnson won’t swear in Grijalva. It is a reminder how much Trump doesn’t want those files released. It’s also a reminder that the Republican party is now a full co-conspirator in the coverup. Epstein has become a Republican problem, not simply a Trump problem."

Mike Johnson explains Schrodinger’s cat..

Welcome to NPRs newest game show, AI or Abusive Boyfriend - You Decide

Republicans have been given a free ride by the press for so long that they aren’t even trying anymore…. Why waste time on messaging discipline when you can outsource that to the media?

Overheard on NPR this morning from a Maryland Democrat at a town hall: "I think they should hold out as long as possible. It's clear whose shutdown this is. The Republicans hold all the leverage and all the cards, and if we back out now then we're just showing the party has no backbone."

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
