the innate Kennedy impulse to bail the fuck out Kendall Roy-style

the speed at which RFK books it out of there is incredible

This defense attorney is a hero—on a roll in a real grinder of a case. The prosecutor’s argument is shockingly sub parm. I’d never be so patient. They’d have to banh mi from the courtroom.

TRIBECA ALREADY EMPTY. THOUSANDS OF PATAGONIA VESTS ABANDONED. SOHO HOUSE TAKEN OVER BY EXOTIC ZOO ANIMALS. BATTERY PARK SHAKE SHACK NOW A BISEXUALS-ONLY CERAMICS STUDIO

I think you could get Yglesias to support literally any policy on earth if that’s where he thought the wind was blowing. he’s basically the modern equivalent of a court eunuch

the united states government acknowledges but does not endorse new york city’s claim on staten island, a strategic ambiguity political scientists refer to as the One New York Policy

The ideas underlying socialism are hardly toxic. Inclusion, community, compassion, opportunity, effective governance are all fundamental, widely embraced. The term socialism itself has been cynically stigmatized. But with a little good sense, we can move past that and focus on values & results.

everyone is joking about Van Jones being a no-talent ass clown who went from being an 80s Bay Area Maoist to making jokes about dead babies in Gaza, ok funny haha, but have you considered he commands a militia called the “Love Army” and what if they initiate a ground invasion of NYC

Oh Van Jones did not like Mamdani’s speech? Van “Trump became president tonight” Jones? That Van Jones?

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

the Mamdani Incident sounds like a mid 2000s pop punk band

These wannabe aristocrats named their fund 1789 Capital. Curious choice—1789 was a terrible year for aristocrats, what with the storming of the Bastille and the shadow of the guillotine soon to arrive.

ruining my political career because I did an “1840s prospector who just discovered gold” jig after hearing the news about Cheney being dead

ahh yes, CA YIMBY, the org last seen campaigning with landlords in Sacramento so tenants of housing rebuilt after the LA wildfires would NOT benefit from just-cause laws, which simply state that they be evicted for a specified reason. At this point I’d PREFER they stick to zoning

it’s a Milton Friedmanesque race to the bottom where any social benefit that could remotely be construed as an impediment to the market must go. they’re even saying rent controlled multifamily housing is “overrated,” I assume to normalize their demolition. Abbondanza!

Facts: “The report shouldn’t be a shock to anyone...because zoning is just one factor of 100. I’m afraid ‘We’re going to sue the government until the capital markets do what we want’ is basically the textbook definition of San Francisco YIMBYism.” - @uhshanti.bsky.social

not only could I have told you this anytime in the last decade, I have said it many a time to literally this specific guy 🤷🏽‍♀️

BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews. In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

already loathe this woman for her genocide apologia but it’s also very grating for her to talk about the party abandoning its vulnerable base communities, only to make that abandonment about herself and the people who ran the world’s most powerful institution. imagine being that far up your own ass

I posted this after Trump issued his executive order targeting homeless people. This now appears to be happening. Utah is the test case.

surprising no one, the Abundance Governor of Utah is enthusiastically supportive of this

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

YIMBYs will confidently post but meekly avoid actually engaging in the substance of the concerns or the data & economics underlying them

why would I ever support taking a wrecking ball to a place that is being aesthetically purpose-built to host Drag Race All Stars 11

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

🇶🇦 New: Qatar says Israel has committed genocide in Gaza At the opening of the Shura Council, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said Israel’s campaign in Gaza “is nothing less than genocide.” He also condemned Israel’s repeated violations of the ceasefire and the destruction that has made Gaza...

 he is literally blocking the floor vote on this right at this moment

how do so many people not understand what “off the record” means

You're absolutely right — starting a land war in Asia wasn't just a bad call, it's 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Thank you for calling me out on that — really. I'll be extra-strategic from now on. Would you like me to get cracking on those 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?

Greenblatt with kinder words for Republicans who are affiliated with actual Hitler Youth than what he says about Zohran Mamdani

Penn's refusal is especially significant in light of Wharton Board member Marc Rowan's work on the compact and his advocating for it in the New York Times

On Oct. 1, a gas explosion caused a public housing project in the Bronx to partially collapse. On Friday, HUD fired all the federal government's housing inspectors: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Elite solidarity is so funny

I am genuinely freaked out by how these goobers are gonna respond if Trump does one of his city invasions to SF. they’ll probably point to people’s houses and tell the jackboots where to find them.

this guy is a good friend of Garry Tan (who calls him his “bat-friend”) and the Bay Area anti-homeless crowd which is why in addition to naming DSA he also named housing and homelessness NGOs as part of the alleged antifa fifth column

You cannot be fucking serious

I remain concerned that San Francisco’s elected officials are woefully unprepared for this to come to our city and burying their heads in the sand. the good news is that we have some natural defenses, 48 of them in fact,

HEY Our friend David Adler is among the brave folks aboard the Sumud flotilla kidnapped by the Israeli military from international waters. Take a few seconds to demand his release and an end to the genocide of Gaza. actionnetwork.org/letters/free...

this is one of San Francisco’s top political donors posting about himself lol. if you look real close the Godzilla at the end is labelled “BABURBY”

Van Jones — seen here laughing at the term “dead Gaza baby” — lives in Los Angeles, btw. if you see him trying to grift off some local progressive event for speaking fees or whatever the fuck it is he does, you should tell Mr. “Love Army” exactly how you feel about that

I don’t care if they’re committed to supporting Israel as an exclusionary and oppressive ethnonationalist state, what they did was cool and American urbanism is starving for that kind of whimsy and can-do attitude

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity. msf.org/msf-denounce...

Taylor Swift is my online sports gambling like on a fundamental level I just cannot understand know how people enjoy it or why it’s legal
