One of my hills to die about the great lakes cities is that they were really big cities before the automobile. Milwaukee's peak national relevance/proportional population was in 1910. 3 years before ford began mass manufacturing any cars.

"COVID caused everyone to temporarily go insane, the effects are steadily wearing off" is basically the skeleton key to everything right now IMO.

It's certainly pretty brazen to say "they lied about you Daniel," in a post where you're lying about Daniel Biss.

Cea is a great choice. Before 2019, landlords could and did make flagrant use of loopholes to deregulate rent-stabilized housing. Cea was the leading tenant organizer in the movement that won reforms to close those loopholes and otherwise protect tenants, and landlords hate her for it.

Within NYC: the continued growth of population, which I bet will hit 9M in the 2030 Census, and how that will counteract rising housing starts

good: blue states turbocharging housing development bad: dangerous childhood diseases re-emerging like wildfire

The outcome being a Klobuchar Governor, which I think will come with a trifecta again and a Governor more friendly to DSA than Walz, is a great example of "be careful what you wish for"

"increasing protein recommendation by 50-100%"

This might be the smartest and most reasonable thing Oz has said in his entire life? *OZ: IN BEST CASE SCENARIO, DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD DRINK ALCOHOL *OZ: ALCOHOL DOES ALLOW SOCIAL BONDING, SOCIALIZING IS HEALTHY

You can’t be talking like that Filipino American Grandparents Political Action Group

Why did you hire a Phiota to run your comms, have some pride at least hire an LTPhi

I do still think Harbaugh is a good coach, but I’d be more interested in him as a candidate after a year away where he evaluated what went wrong in Baltimore. The breakdown with Lamar is probably a big part, but the blown lead thing was real. There was always something missing there. What was it?

This is how I found out Thin Mike McCarthy got fired

🚨 SCOOP – Rep. Jan Schakowsky is planning to endorse Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss as her successor in #IL09, sources tell me. The announcement is expected this week, possibly as soon as Wednesday evanstonnow.com/schakowsky-w...

Safe Samantha

NEW: Socialist tenant organizer Samantha Kattan hopes to succeed DSA-backed Assembly Member Claire Valdez, who's expected to run for Congress: www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

And to be clear, I don't mean just mean "Goldman's hope" in the sense of "this is what I think would be best for him." His office is in close contact with the people bringing the lawsuit, and folks close to him have confirmed that this is what he hopes will happen.

Correct. Goldman's hope is that this lawsuit succeeds and Lower Manhattan is redrawn into the Staten Island district, while NY-10 loses Lower Manhattan and gains southern Brooklyn. Then Lander gets NY-10 and Goldman gets a chance to beat GOP Rep. Malliotakis in a Dem-leaning swing district.

Citing all that and not the actual important parts (cheating to win in 1948), or LBJ's electoral record (including a primary loss in 1960 and rough 1966 midterms) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Un...

"and that's why you need to hire me, Dan Ancona"

Winning recipe IMO for 2028 nominee: - Doesn’t take controversial position on Schiavo and Elian Gonzalez - Supports stem cell research, but wants to ban animal cloning - Has plan to prepare US for Peak Oil - Supports civil unions They should also take advantage of “e-democracy” on social media

this now more than 97 year old nyc diner still serves coke the old fashioned way

I said this in a group chat in November, I don't really get why people called DCS decarceral, if a DCS person is trying to deescalate and someone pulls a knife out, they're gonna press the red button. I feel it's an expansion of the carceral state into new situations (said neutrally)

Dan Goldman when facing a left-backed candidate who still codes as agreeable enough to win over parts of his moderate voter base: "I just need to be as boring as possible. Please portray me even more boring."

Me in 2016: No mom you don’t understand. The coal farmers in West Missourkansas literally live in Le Hellworld. They’re crying out in economic pain at ballot box Me in 2024: Oh yeah these people are evil lol

Bro took two months look at the new California map and decided to die

Kate thinks that YIMBYs are evil because they *checks notes* want to build affordable housing on top of libraries in New York City

Why did you get yourself arrested if you didn't prepare for the potential charges

Troy Jackson you are wanted in valhalla.

I'm not in general a kantian but I feel like this quasi-kantian point is important. You can't be denying permission to build in this or that spot just because there's some other more optimal spot, because there will always be another more optimal spot. the norm cannot be universalized

Musk had something truly incredible in twitter and set out to ruin every good thing about it

some people just can’t afford to come here and/or just can’t get the days off of work, and if that’s you i’m very sorry. but for everyone else: if you’ve been on the fence or are scared about coming to japan for some reason, let me be the last push you need. do it do it do it

re: Rana Abdelhamid can you imagine having hate for DSA for 4 years, finally getting your get back, and then you stink so badly Greg Meeks don't even wanna dap you up. Greg Meeks never in his life endorsed Zohran! the Queens Democrats never endorsed Zohran! and they still don't like you Rana

ayo I gotta do this shit next time

Alright, I'm out of things to say about congestion pricing. I'll just let Zohran and Hochul thank all of us at their event just now.

I’ve been thinking about this and I have sort of a comparison: The Seahawks Defense: The Phantom Troupe’s Requiem for Uvo in Yorknew City The Texans: Madara dropping 2 meteors on the Shinobi Alliance

last thing before I take my meds: "already tired of Zohran" and it's January 5th, you are not gonna make it bro

Hip-hop was primarily born in NYC because of a historical mistake called white flight that left most of the city divested and segregated by race. The affordability of post-1968 pre-2000 NYC is not coming back until our leaders do what has never been done and plan to make life affordable for everyone

I’m honored to receive the Democratic nomination for Assembly District 36 to succeed Mayor Mamdani & deliver an affordable future for Queens families. Vote in the Feb. 3 special election to win universal childcare, pass tenant protections, and defend our immigrant neighbors.

Gigantic news from Astoria where the moderate Queens County Democratic Party backs Diana Moreno in the special election

Damn he might actually get off

"Iziah Thompson, a 32-year-old housing policy researcher and democratic socialist who served on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s transition team, has joined the packed Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman" This is my district. newjerseyglobe.com/congress/pla...

Okay I watched the Jabari video where he explicitly says to vote for Delgado to support the New York Health Act. Bro you're one of the people in charge of that! And the reason it's stalled is because major unions are like "why tf would we want a worse healthcare plan than current"

"Delgado has a chance to win, we need to back him to pressure Hochul!" Bubba he's too broke to pay for human beings to run his social media, what are we doing here

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Is Jabari gonna push for the New York Health Act to pass this year or is he just gonna claim it for clout again

the more I look at the June 2025 NYC primary data, the more I think "so why did Latino turnout crater in comparison to White/Black turnout?"
