getting a dog is just like having a kid, including the times when you have to deliver stern lectures because they keep messing with the couch just trust me on this.

Robert Jackson has always been my favorite justice in American history because he understood the dangers of this world and the blessings of our Constitution better than anyone else from firsthand expierence, and so he laid out the stakes of cases in plain terms.

BREAKING: Supreme Court sides with Texas Republicans in fight over congressional map. The new gerrymandered map will be used in the 2026 midterms. The vote is 6–3, with the Republican appointees siding with Texas.

it absolutely stinks to see an otherwise highly educated demographic (Asian American civic orgs) be completely misinformed and out of step with what the vast amount of evidence tells us. Any reinforcement of status quo (downzoned neighborhoods) is going to drive UP housing costs and segregation.

Pete Hegseth bears responsibility for THIS (hat tip @natashabertrand.bsky.social)

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

cities are inherently dynamic, with cultures mixing and commerce booming on every corner in a high density area. it’s been that way since the Sumerian city-states, 1600s New Amsterdam, and present day Paris. without enough housing for everyone, that’s when the stagnation and decay sets in.

downzoning actually reinforces segregation and makes communities more white wealthy and exclusive so yes, upzoning is the answer

“Lanier Heights is also a microcosm of the ways in which the District’s housing regime allows residents to make their neighborhoods more expensive, richer, and whiter.”

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

Thanks to a new law I wrote, California now has statewide standards enabling cities to build more homes near transit, protect renters, and provide affordable housing. I’ve spent my career taking on California's housing crisis. Now I’m ready to bring that fight to Washington.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Before you ask, yes apparently this is real. He must be taking comedy lessons and substances from Elon.

Shooting victims were down 15% in November in Gun Violence Archive data compared to November 2024. That marks 30 straight months (and 37 of the last 39 months) of falling gun violence in the United States per GVA data.

Lots of shoving from NYPD to create an empty area for ICE to RETREAT after their planned raid got exposed LRAD now ordering dispersal outside parking garage to force dispersal.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

This is actually a relevant factor here: it's been pretty clear SOUTHCOM, whose commander resigned, has been pushing back, at least somewhat. They're putting it under the operational command of SOCOM specifically because that's the most already rotten place you'll find people happy to do crimes.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent. She didn't want to deploy to D.C. "She hated it. She cried about it." But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it. May she rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Katie Wilson, Seattle’s newly elected mayor, has embraced a city-owned startup designed to emulate Vienna’s social housing model, which involves a public developer building housing designed to be permanently affordable.

that’s how you embody selfless service, literally one of seven Army values. www.army.mil/values/

i like that this response implies that if the Guardsman had been from California or Massachusetts, he wouldn’t attend the funeral

Straight-up sociopath. Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.
