Does anyone else find it completely hypocritical that the US is threatening to “intervene” in Iran if they shoot protesters, while they’re over here SHOOTING PROTESTERS??

great thread full of stuff, i learned lots

if you cycle in america, you are literally braver than the troops

Gotta shorten this

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

Amid everything with Venezuela & Maduro and the Trump Regime's various justifications for its extrajudicial & anti-constitutional actions, a quick reminder that - just one month ago - Trump PARDONED former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández for his... wait for it... cocaine trafficking.

Do we think Mike Johnson has heard that his president started an unprovoked war without authorization and kidnapped a foreign head of state?

Zohran is going to kill the “YIMBYs and leftists are mortal enemies” idea and that alone will make the internet 23% less annoying to me personally. Big accomplishment.

The way folk on Nextdoor can be sad about the construction of a large building on the other side of town will never cease to amaze me.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

So artists must perform for everyone, but public servants can opt out of providing services based on their own bigotry? Make it make sense!

Will Stancil will not stop posting until nobody is wrong on the internet.

Mamdani has appointed Lillian Bonsignore, previously Chief of EMS Operations, as commissioner of FDNY (the agency has a serious inequity in EMS vs. fire pay and staffing levels – the vast majority of the agency’s calls are EMS, while fire dominates staffing and pay) abc7ny.com/post/mayor-e...

The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

my favorite past time when talking to much younger men is to give them advice on wooing women that is really just care and feeding instructions for iguanas

Modern #roundabouts, like this one, are unfazed by power outages. America needs more roundabouts and fewer signals.

Interesting tidbit: the maximum number of individuals you can have on an FHA-backed mortgage is eight. (An RE agent friend found that out while working with a nine-person polycule)

PG&E sending billing notices to San Franciscans tonight of all nights is quite the move.

This administration absolutely despises children

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them

The folk who think a right to housing solves anything are the same people who believe that we can use solve homelessness by relocating unhoused folk into homes that are being shown for sale.

This is intolerable behavior from law enforcement no matter who they are arresting. These officers need to see the inside of a prison cell.

"The car tire chemical 6PPD and its toxic byproduct, 6PPD-quinone, were common pollutants in the urine of 60-100% of those tested." Yep. Your body is slowly transitioning to become a collection of toxic car tire particles. But at least parking is free. www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/t...

Consultants contracted by Minnesota found that an eight-story single-stair building with 6,000 sq. ft. per floor (building 4) has dramatically lower fire risk than a same-height code-compliant two-stair building with a larger floor plate (building 1) www.dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

If anyone can figure out how to unlock more housing via the federal level, it’s Scott www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/c...

In the last month, Apple has: 1. Sent millions of iPhone customers a “get ready for your new phone” push notification, despite those customers not buying new phones 2. Erroneously updated the expiration date on stored credit cards for millions of Safari users Quality is hard to maintain.

Big Border is watching you

Now this is how you write a headline!

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of: -ABC, which bribed the president -CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans -WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor Fools.

Stancil crashing out for days on urbanism discourse has me reevaluating his takes on subjects I know much less about…

As a private market investor… this smells of bubble

When Oakland had a fight over demolishing the ruin that was once Biff's coffee shop, I started calling the preservationists who were older than the building "historic". They did not like that.

We’re going to look with a fresh pair of eyes at city government — and what powers we have to deliver for New Yorkers. And that’s one of many reasons I’m excited to have Lina as one of our transition’s Co-chairs.

Gavin Newsom is jumping on the affordability bandwagon. Only one problem: He hasn’t made it any cheaper to live in California

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to: 1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies 2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Quite a headline.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

*cut to campaign logo* "I'm [insert name here], Democrat for Congress, and I approve this message."

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

Quite literally the opposite of a windshield view taking power at City Hall. Finally.
