The promise of the 30 yr mortgage was modest growth in value over long periods, maybe 1-2 upgrades and by retirement a paid off house. No reason we can’t return to that. It’s the only path forward that’s even close to amenable to both prospective buyers and current owners.

Those in the know will, rightly, tell you this isn’t happening but the reason laypeople believe this is because they, rightly, don’t trust these companies. Giving people more technical information does nothing to change their minds because it does nothing to address the trust issue.

jazz is maybe the funniest thing to try the whole, black people only get ahead because of dei, schtick

Good piece that gets at an often underdiscussed issue -- of how much work in rebuilding state capacity (or denazification of remaining state capacity) will be necessary post-Trump dissentmagazine.org/article/the-...

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed. This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

Conor Lamb also sucks. We should expect better than just ‘sucks less’ from our prospective representatives.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Woman tells Minnesota Public Radio that the man killed today was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather and "next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/live-updates....

He was just observing.

Mayor Frey's phone number is 612-673-2100. Governor Walz is 651-201-3400.

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

I was going through my videos and I have to share this incredible image from Wednesday. Hero

Solidarity with Minnesota. An attack on one is an attack on all. #ICEOUT

Yubi Hassan, 24, who immigrated to the U.S. from Somalia when he was a teenager, was handing out hot tea to protesters in The Commons. His friend waved a sign from behind him that read "free Somali tea:"

dang, Waymo caught passing stopped school buses 20 times in Austin alone

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

hey train perverts wanna see the shinkansen cloaca

Please don't ask me why my brain works like this, because I don't have an answer

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

As I was being tailgated down W. River Parkway by a large SUV with tinted windows, the thought occurred to me that it might help if everyone drives a bit slower. Gives observers more time to identify feds. We have a 20 MPH speed limit on residential streets, let’s weaponize it

This is my friend Will. He is an army veteran and Purple Heart recipient. He was abducted by ICE during this same assault on his neighborhood.

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

I pulled up next to one at 10:17am yesterday an snapped a photo. By 10:27 the agents I photographed were in front of my house, along with another vehicle that met them there. It's a 10 minute drive from where I took the photo to my house - so they got the data *instantly* bsky.app/profile/mitc...

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

This poor child is traumatized and still having the strength to fight‼️ WE ARE NOT MAD ENOUGH‼️

Today l took a seller to sign closing documents for a closing on their home. They weren't my client but I did it as a favor for a friend. Miguel was from Honderous, been here 20 years and has proper documentation. But he is terrified to leave his home. Has 2 young kids at home with his wife.

I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

ROOMMATE: hey what the hell happened to my corn THE INVENTOR OF CREAMED CORN: pretty cool right

We’ve seen a number of people kidnapped this morning in NE, including 2 legal observers taken on Central. @doronclark.bsky.social & I are asking our community to patrol and get outside on our busy corridors to protect neighbors. Get connected to grassroots organizing groups at defend612.com

"Murdering a mother of a 6-year-old child, you're in the wrong place in your soul. God help you! Her son's name is Emerson; Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday!" -Minneapolis ICE protester scolds line of ICE agents ⬇️

For me, the most difficult part is often the lies.— www.unpopularfront.news/p/living-in-...

It is now confirmed from multiple sources that ICE shot a legal observer dead on Portland in Minneapolis between 34th and 33rd street. The victim is dead

Kenny elementary school in the Minneapolis Public Schools district has a higher percentage of kids meeting state standards than Gleason Lake in Wayzata

Underrated part of this is that he did it and then held a press conference to tout it in unequivocal terms. The latter part is as important as the first but a lot of Dems are allergic to it for inexplicable reasons.

“I need 185,000 kids to die every year so 27 other kids get less excited about trains.” - RFK Jr between mouthfuls of raw yak meat

Even if this is true, probably is, it’s poisonous to adopt this stance as an approach to living one’s life. If you don’t have the individual will to get off a social media site (pretty easy) you’re not going to have the will to end the patriarchy (extremely hard)

Can’t pull the lever to stop the trolley. The trolley has rich people on it and it lets them go so fast!
