Rae Huang is really the Jill Stein of LA, huh

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

I will never get over this clown faux-leftist NIMBY grifter trying to force a Spencer Pratt vs. Karen Bass runoff by splitting the vote from Nithya. just deeply embarrassing. anyone who supports Rae is legitimately stupid

A tale of two cities: as bad as Eric Adams was, one area where he and Zohran are aligned is the importance of building more housing meanwhile Michelle Wu’s NIMBY policies are wrecking Boston’s homebuilding

combine this with SEQRA reform, the pro-housing ballot measures, and additional rezonings under Zohran, and we’re really cooking now

LMFAOOOOO ZOHRAN RETWEETED VIVEK

seeing the sunrise movement endorse left-NIMBYs at the state/local level for years was always proof that they were an unserious group. building dense housing near transit is literally the most effective climate policy that local elected officials can enact!

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

The Shaolin Frenchman being a public transit guy is too perfect. Floppy McGee being a Cybertruck owner is too perfect

At a sports bar in Bushwick watching the WCF and it’s funny how literally every single person here is rooting for the spurs Hard to think of a superstar likability gap as large as the one between Wemby (woke, 1 of a kind player who takes the subway) and SGA (cybertruck-driving free throw merchant)

being proud of being apolitical is the sign of a deeply feeble minded person however, given our current intelligence polarization, maybe it’s for the best that these people don’t vote, since they’d probably be easy marks for the fascists

a “science nerd” being a NIMBY is literally the same as a “science nerd” denying climate change (you’re not a science nerd, you’re just a dipshit who refuses to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence against your position)

Also Simon herself has a pro housing challenger, donate to @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social here:

The far right is being racist. Here's why it's the left's fault. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

For the love of God please vote for @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social next month

Hi! Yes, I'm challenging Simon in large part because of her NIMBYism. I know that we need new homes in our neighborhoods to accommodate everyone who wants to live here & will fight to get them. Adding my donation link to the thread. www.secure.actblue.com/donate/lydia-green-1

congrats to jared polis for getting played like a chump

I complain a lot about left NIMBYs. I complain a lot about right NIMBYs. but do you know which NIMBYs actually frustrate me the most? boomer faux-environmentalist NIMBYs like @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social. she’s literally killing homes for over 10,000 people because apartments are scary.

the Rae Huang supporters are now insulting my physical appearance because I told them that their preferred candidate has zero chance of winning and they should instead support the progressive candidate who could actually keep Spencer Pratt out of the runoff

this has to be self parody I refuse to believe it is real he is trying to make the case that miller lite is the every man’s beer by using the most overwrought academia-speak possible. I can’t believe this is real

Rae Huang supporter Bluesky is like entering a parallel universe where everyone is immune to basic logic or critical thinking

the Rae Huang deadenders are so funny to me. it’s like: does she have any chance of winning? No. well, are her policies good at least? also no. well, is she a charismatic leader who can grow the left? turns out—the answer is no!

‼️This User Wants Spencer Pratt To Make The Runoff‼️

not surprising given the fact that Trump’s base is people with repeated TBIs

one of the worst parts about social media (especially Instagram comments imo) is that everyone feels a Need To Be Clever and that usually manifests itself in faux-woke slop like this

Read @dogsinautumn.bsky.social today on why taxes are good and Democrats cannot cave to the temptation to campaign on lowering them

the whole point of license plates is making it easy to track the 2-ton pieces of heavy machinery that collectively kill 40,000 Americans every year! if anything, automated enforcement reduces the need for dangerous and problematic police enforcement of traffic laws!

I am sorry but being unwilling to disavow abolishing the police while *running for governor of Wisconsin*, a state that voted for Trump twice, shows that you are deeply unserious. vote for Mandela Barnes, a progressive who can actually win

If you live in LA, the most important mayoral election in decades is coming up. thankfully, the best candidate is obvious: It’s Nithya. Vote for Nithya Raman.

A lot of replies being like “Wait something good!?” No you morons, republicans want to be able to allow chud truck drivers to speed through your neighborhood without consequence. You are a fucking sucker if you think congressional republicans care about privacy. This stupid country I swear to god.

there are two “hacks” to the constitution that can give the president unlimited power & unlimited money, for which impeachment is literally the only remedy: POWER—pardon anyone who commits a crime on your behalf MONEY—direct your DOJ to “settle” a lawsuit with you for billions Trump has done both

Bezos retweeted the absolute worst slop infographic I've ever seen in my life.

It’s hilarious that billionaires have cooked their brains so much that they think Nashville is on par with Shanghai or Singapore. buddy, the only thing that Nashville is a “global powerhouse” in is hosting bachelorette parties

leftists who oppose gas taxes are genuinely the dumbest people on this site

any realistic discussion has to start from the ground truth that america is a *very* low-tax society compared to similar nations we collect about 25% of GDP as tax revenue. germany? 38%. denmark? 45%. we are already a turbo low tax society!

I think that Dems should be very explicit that every government official involved in the most brazenly corrupt action of all time will be impeached, investigated, and prosecuted

it’s kinda funny how a year ago we were all posting about “touching the stove” and then Trump launched a pointless war causing gas prices to go up 50% and he’s at record unpopularity

PHIMBYs will really be like 'you believe in permitting more market rate housing? That pales in effectiveness to my strategy, mass provision of socialized housing' and then not provide socialized housing

The TACO Paradox: the more the markets price in TACO, the less likely Trump is to actually chicken out And the inverse is valid as well: the less the markets price in TACO, the more likely Trump is to chicken out

the rate of jeopardy champs who are urbanists is remarkably high

At a certain point we need to ask if maybe voters are the problem

New Yorkers who insist on owning a car are some real sickos

when your extremely normal campaign is going well

next dem president is going to have to lock up the majority of the current administration at this rate

shoutout to jared polis

no, Rae Huang is running as a spoiler candidate to stop progressive Nithya Raman and help Spencer Pratt make the runoff

Nancy Pelosi making two extremely high profile endorsements in congressional primaries and they’re both for the incompetent NIMBY candidate lmao

the anti-MTA people in the LIRR strike are extremely cool and not antisemitic at all

I totally agree with this take when it’s Amazon or Starbucks employees unionizing and getting more $ from billionaire CEOs Where I disagree is for LIRR workers who are already the highest paid in the world and future pay increases come from taxpayers and make it harder for the MTA to expand seevice

there is something kind of amusing about Long Island DSA standing with a union filled with conservatives who hate their guts and will never endorse any of their preferred politicians
