The difference between having ideas that are considered radical and being very into Being Radical is that the former hates the fact their beliefs are marginal and the latter get off on it. Yeah, I don't wanna be a righteous oppressed underdog. Shit sucks. I do want to be the state. I do want power.

Republicans in 2010: school shootings are caused by video games Republicans in 2025, when bullets are inscribed with video game references: this is trans ideology

Admitting that Charlie Kirk was a bad person who made our politics worse and endangered the lives of marginalized people is not the same as condoning his murder. I don't get why he's getting such hagiographic treatment. He was a piece of shit.

As soon as I saw the headline I wondered how many paragraphs it would take him to endorse the Great Replacement Theory and the answer is 10. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Bluesky is fun because there are people who ostensibly believe stuff like ‘bikes cost more than cars, actually’

Waiting for the L8 at 5th and Denny… Can’t wait to break out the red paint!

“This list is suggestive. Stop telling yourself it's a few bad apples. Stop telling yourself "there are pedophiles in every large enough organization." There are not this many pedophiles in every political party. Both sides are not the same.”

“Pedocon theory does not involve secret networks of underground tunnels where adrenochrome is harvested for reptilian overlords. Pedocon theory is not hiding beneath twelve layers of misdirection. Pedocon theory is rooted in the basic politics of the reactionary right.”

Through the first six months, traffic deaths in DC are down almost 70% compared to last year. A pretty remarkable public health success and no one seems to be taking credit for it?

really democrats need to start making clear that when they retake power they very much are going to prosecute people who have engaged in this kind of flagrantly illegal behavior

Important to remember that Trump is very unpopular

Additionally, and this is universal among all growing cities: The people who are going to show up to complain about future housing are exclusively incumbent residents who don't want new neighbors. It disenfranchises renters who currently CAN'T live in those areas to treat these voices as universal.

I am infuriated by the National Park Service proceeding with closing Dupont Circle Park ahead of this weekend's World Pride celebrations. See my full statement 👇🏾

“upwards of 90,000 cars traveling through the tangled intersection every single weekday. A Zen garden it is not.” You can bet I won’t be taking my kids to the playground here. Again, this is like 2 blocks from a Metro Station

A billion dollars for a stadium, but no money for a streetcar

quick, someone post about how getting a speed camera ticket is unfair

this week in WHO SAID IT: LEFT-NIMBY OR RIGHT-SEGREGATIONIST

One of the underrated benefits of congestion pricing is that it seems to be the only way to get the dumbest people on earth to change absolutely batshit behavior www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/n...

For the second time in the last month, a driver has killed a pedestrian where the road is inexplicably 6 lanes wide just a block from a Metro station

Excluding regulatory credits, Tesla lost $175mm on a GAAP basis in Q1. A year ago that was a $963mm profit.

New episode is up! We talked with @katelynburns.com about her article in @theflytrapmedia.com, asking the question "Why are so many trans people into urban planning?" It was such a great conversation! Check it out! thewaroncars.org/2025/04/22/e...

Another absolute banger from Liberal Currents www.liberalcurrents.com/children-are...

Appears that DC has not had a traffic fatality for about 3 months (there were 52 last year). Anyone know if this is just randomness, or any significant changes? visionzero.dc.gov/pages/crash-...

There is a confirmed case of measles in DC and my son is too young to be vaccinated. Glad RFK Jr’s not wrong though!

If anyone is wondering how long it takes to get a p-patch in Seattle, it’s about 2 coups

And “working families” who live in DC? Cool that now I don’t know if the $1B that congress just stole from DC will shut down pre-K3. You’d feel differently if it dismantled education in PA

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

what 26 years in the senate does to a mfer

Trump: I will begin my presidency with mass deportations and a nazi rally Democrats:

"I'm willing to find common ground with fascists so long as a small number of drivers aren't charged $9 to bring their cars into the densest, most transit-rich city in the country" is a terrible look for Democrats.

The rules, if you are keeping track: If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever. If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.
