Hello Seattle Urbanists — if we want market rate development to happen with all the interest rates and tariffs and other barriers we have to get rid of MHA temporarily to speed up housing. And we have to get rid of minimum parking requirements. Asap.

This young man has it exactly right.

www.bbc.com/news/article... “The summit was a reality check on just how much global consensus has broken down over what to do about climate change.”

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

Have a good day and stay petty!

Just voted YES on PROP 50!! Make sure to vote early! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

Oregon is proud to stand with Illinois in their lawsuit challenging the president’s unlawful and unnecessary deployment in their state.

Checking out my war-ravaged neighborhood here in SE Portland this morning. Everyone stay safe out there.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Texas State Rep. James Talarico: "There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. We know how to prevent mass shootings in this country."

SCOOP: DSA-backed City Council Member @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social is exploring a primary challenge to Rep. Dan Goldman in NY-10. Avilés is meeting with @socialists.nyc's Electoral Working Group next week to discuss her potential congressional run. Read more at @cityandstateny.bsky.social:

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

Kamala Harris on Mamdani: Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the democratic nominee and he should be supported.

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

Erika Kirk just called for an American Crusade/Civil War. Anyone saying otherwise was not paying attention. This is a call to war. #FuckCharlieKirk #WhatASHOT youtu.be/4axAvVt6eG0?...

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board: "Is a basic understanding of the First Amendment too much to expect from the nation’s Attorney General?" "Ms. Bondi hasn’t had a distinguished tenure as AG...But she is a law enforcer, ... and she’s sworn to uphold the Constitution."

In a conversation with @ichotiner.bsky.social, Michael Idov, who formerly ran GQ Russia, discusses Donald Trump’s role in Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension and what it says about authoritarian leaders and their relationship to comedy.

NEW: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott orders a second 30-day special session to begin immediately after the first ended without a quorum. He previously vowed to convene the state legislature until House Democrats return to vote on the GOP’s gerrymandered map. From: @jenrice.bsky.social

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Gina Ortiz Jones! A proud military veteran, she’s exactly the leader San Antonio needs. She’ll be a mayor for all San Antonians — not one bought and paid for by Greg Abbott.

People have no idea, not really, how this budget is about to wreck their very foundations.

“Who’s at the door?” “Bee.” “Fine, who be at the door?”

🇺🇸NEWS: I’m running for Congress to represent SE NC: Fayetteville, Wilmington, Elizabethtown, Whiteville, and points beyond & in-between! Why? Because as a mom, a social worker, and an educator, I’ve seen what the current lack of leadership has meant for way too many of us. We deserve better!

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Was down to my local Giant and bumped into Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, Bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C. who so powerfully called for compassion and true justice during January's inauguration services at The National Cathedral

Republicans have voted to fuck over millions of Americans, including their own supporters. This affects us all. "Senate Republicans have passed President Donald Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," legislative package that is expected to kick millions off their health insurance @rollingstone

Impressive work in setting your narrative Zohran. Don’t let MAGA set the pace.

In his final year as Mayor, Eric Adams and his hand-picked Rent Guidelines Board delivered one last blow to struggling rent-stabilized tenants. New Yorkers are desperate for city government that lowers costs instead of raising rents. Change is coming.

Yes, exhausted means they ranked neither Cuomo nor Mamdani

does exhausted mean "did not rank Cuomo"? b/c if so hot damn the "don't rank Cuomo" campaign really worked
