Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

primary every democrat that doesn’t support ICE abolition

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

As always, the actions of a panicked civilian will be put under a microscope and used to say they deserved death, yet the actions of a (supposedly) trained government agent - before, during, and after the event - will be hand waved as 'reasonable confusion', 'human nature', and faux-empathetic BS

The rest of the world should absolutely boycott the World Cup and boycott the Olympics. At minimum.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

@brooklynspoke.bsky.social @samseder.bsky.social In Minneapolis, you are more likely to be murdered by ICE in broad daylight and called a domestic terrorist on national news by the federal government than you are to die in a car crash if the current trend keeps up.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social @blumenthal.senate.gov It is past time to be 10x more obstructionist than Mitch McConnell ever was. There are things you may not have the power to do right now, but you have the power to grind the Senate to a halt.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

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

The thing that I hate most in the world is some mother fucker in a Winter Park McMansion who thinks that scamming people is cool and smart but paying taxes is for suckers. These dicks think they’re winning but their souls smell like ass and they’ve built nothing but wealth.

never, ever, believe a rightist who starts extolling the virtues of free speech. they don't mean what you'd mean by it.

A hallmark of the Lamont era is the governor’s willingness to arbitrarily intervene—often at the end of a long process involving experts and testimony—on behalf of Fairfield County. Tolls, the 5002 veto, Marissa Gillette/PURA, the siting council…you really see a governor bumbling issue to issue.

Paid parking has its place in the city's transportation ecosystem, but it's far better to just get rid of as much on-street parking as possible. This is what the best cities in the world are doing and there's no reason New York City shouldn't follow suit.

Transit should be at forefront of any climate resiliency plan. Take snow. A bus is heavy and piloted by a trained driver; much safer in snow (or heavy rainfall) than the relatively light vehicles driven by civilians. Bus riders take vehicles off the streets, which speeds plowing, emergency response.

The Christkindlmarkt thing is so funny top to bottom. America so starved for vibrant public spaces and events that this winter craft fair gets Disneyland-level regional demand, and this is seen as a problem to be solved with cops and security

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

I have spent the last week in Chicago, in some ways a bike paradise compared to my home city, and have some good pics to share with the nerds and city government back home :)

I will never not remind people that the NY Times described cheese and tomatoes on a hamburger as a weird Californiaism and I filter all that paper’s takes through that lens.

David Hogg is cooking lately

Staring from Connecticut

Desperately begging rich assholes like Ned Lamont to let us have pro-housing policy too

Will the Democratic Party finally start to realize that the days of the tired establishment are over? prospect.org/politics/202...

Do better, Governor Lamont.

Awesome New Haven Union Station adjacent housing project announced today bringing 470 desperately needed homes to our state There are more homes in this single project than 154 of our 169 towns permitted in the 5 years from 2019-2023. #LocalControl #CTHousingCrisis

ahahahhahahaha eat shit

he's right and he's right to say it

Who’s running against Ned “I endorse sexual predators” Lamont? It’s time for primaries.

Alas, if only there had been some kind legislation supported by a coalition of state-wide lawmakers and advocates that could begin to address this challenge www.ctinsider.com/realestate/a...

Ned Lamont, ya done fucked it up

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

🍾🍾🍾

So Ned Lamont killed the housing bill, endorsed Cuomo, and… Cuomo got crushed by a pro housing candidate. Come on, Ned. Read the signs.

Don't let Lamont get away with running unopposed. Connecticut deserves a choice

Lamont primary challenge likelihood up 12,000,000% after tonight’s NYC results?? I think there’s a massive lane in a Connecticut democratic primary for a person to say a) we need an affordable state and b) anyone who endorsed Cuomo is no longer fit for our highest office

"cross-endorsement" is an awesome concept and is very strong evidence for why ranked choice voting gives the electorate much better options than first-past-the-post

Maybe Lamont should have waited one more day to see if housing was an issue that would get people to the polls. His cowardice is going to ensure it is only an even more pressing issue at the next election than it is now.

man the cowardice of democratic leaders who refused to oppose Cuomo looks worse and worse right now. primary them all

Who does Lamont think he is representing? Man has lost touch ctmirror.org/2025/06/24/l...

When Connecticut loses a congressional seat in 2030 I would like everyone to call it the "Lamont Loss."

I guess the New Haven YIMBYtown will be lit.

Abolish Connecticut.

To say nothing of the shockwaves that vetoing HB 5002 will send through state politics in CT, it also means Lamont is hostile to one of the best ways for Democrats to build long term power federally: adding population to Blue states. CT’s housing crisis is already costing it a full seat in Congress.
