Crypto bros appear to be going around DC handing out free shitty coffee to promote their scam of an industry

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but giving corporations and wealthy people money for nothing is not the same as legalizing less expensive forms of housing construction. Reaganomics is not the same as repealing segregationist zoning laws

Megyn Kelly: No no no, that’s EPHEBOphilia not PEDOphilia, it’s different

With days like today, why would you need drugs?

Skeletons and ghouls are scary and all, but if you really want to terrify your suburban neighbors, turn your house into a duplex this Halloween

The Supreme Court ruled states can ban trans youth from receiving gender-affirming care, which is scientifically validated. The Court is now poised to rule states *cannot* ban conversion therapy on kids, which science finds to be akin to torture. Through line: Religious bigotry > LGBTQ humanity

Replace Elon with Russell Vought and it’s exactly the same situation as earlier in the year

The 2028 election if Trump goes after anime

just my two cents on Ezra Klein: he is generally good on policy and his work on things like housing is helpful the problem is that his punditry is misguided for two reasons: 1) he is not skeptical enough of right wing bad faith 2) he is acting like the U.S. is Hungary, where the right is popular

Is comedy legal yet?

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go. There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up. These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

Transition is less of a linear path than an all you can eat buffet

I hope that anti-abundance libs/leftists understand they’re joining ranks with Padilla when they say stuff like “we don’t need more housing, it’s all the landlords’ fault” Perhaps a time to reconsider knee jerk reactions to that book?

Is there a mechanism for the DC Council to remove Bowser? Her response to this occupation is dreadful, and outright dangerous to this city’s residents

I feel like Tim Robinson could do a mean Stephen Miller impersonation

My theory of national politics is that the candidate that seems like less of a narc usually wins

Elon Musk 10 years ago: We have to get AI right, if we use the wrong moral framework to make AI it could kill is all Elon Musk now: Tweaks his AI to become a Nazi

I like rugby because it’s a gay sport for all regardless of gender

The social security administration just emailed me to boast about the big ugly bill?

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

All of the worst kind of Democrats have lost tonight in NYC, and for that I am grateful

I feel like I’m living through another repeal of the Glass Steagall Act

it’s pretty funny that the YIMBY thesis that “building more luxury housing lowers rents” is something that already happened in NYC a century ago

Incredibly Lukewarm take: “Abundance” is largely a call to action on policy (lowering barriers to creating good things) “Left” critiques largely focus on the messaging and politics of it, which misses the point.

*sees a duplex* Yooo there’s two houses in that house that’s craaaazy

Reacting with 🐝 to every message in my work group chats

We need more left commentators who have actually fought to build affordable housing where they live.

This is just a dril tweet

DC restaurants are on alert but ICE is also targeting schools. There is currently ICE presence at the Mondo Verde school on P Street -- parents are forming a human chain and plan to do so for the rest of the week. If you're in DC and able to, they would like help

! @migrantinsider.bsky.social reports that ICE raids are coming to DC this week. ICE is planning "targeted raids on Tuesday and Wednesday," he reports, and will go after restaurant workers -- esp those who work at Subway franchises and delivery workers using scooters, like DoorDash employees.

National Symphony Orchestra: Tiny Desk Concert

"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com

“Autism didn’t exist when we were kids” Okay, what’s a baseball scorecard then?

Doing everything to own the libs except be competent

Did…did JD Vance kill the pope?

Critics of SB 79, Scott Wiener’s bill to legalize apartments near public transit, decry the high price of the “luxury” homes that would be allowed under the law. They argue that we should build *affordable* housing instead of market rate. This common argument deserves an answer.

This performance is genuinely one of the few things I can watch to keep me sane these days Powerful, a song challenging America to live up to its promise, as relevant as ever

Can the state of Maryland pursue charges against the agencies and agents that did this kidnapping? Cause I’m assuming any federal charges would be met with an immediate pardon

Guess I should’ve replaced my laptop yesterday after all lol

What would be involved in joining the US to the ICC? Is it considered an international treaty needing 2/3 of the senate to ratify? Or just majority vote

sprawl is an unmitigated environmental, social, and economic disaster it is no longer affordable (especially when you add in transportation and time) sprawl is driving climate change. literally. and it is a ponzi scheme - unable to fund maintenance and replacement costs

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

How do we redefine “good for the economy” away from meaning “friendly to the economically powerful”

Short thread on white supremacy as US policy: Israel just killed a US Citizen & child in the West Bank & US Govt is silent because he was Palestinian. Meanwhile they're expressing outrage that US citizens are being held hostage in Gaza. Why don't US citizens matter when the IDF kills them? 1/5

Sean O’Brien is a scab

Put that woke back where it was I swear to god…

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

When I was growing up, I was, nominally, a boy on a boys soccer team that also had 3 cis girls. Those 3 girls kicked all of the boys’ asses right through High School. Youth trans sports bans are dumb

Biden fought tirelessly to release innocent Americans from a Russian prison Trump is putting innocent Americans in a Salvadoran prison and refuses to ask for them back
