I feel like I need to remind people that part of the original me too movement was to emphasize the simple fact that most women, at some point in their lives, have been the victim of sexual harassment, assault, rape or other types of gender-based violence. Hence, the “me too” part.

Ronaldo Salgado relayed his panicked search for his father Lorenzo Salgado Araujo as he joined local legislators in calling on authorities to conduct a full and transparent investigation into the Araujo's killing by ICE.

where the fuck is the GAS coming from for this? is it from our fucking strategic reserves? where the fuck is the MONEY coming from this? where in the WIDE WORLD OF FUCK is there anything even APPROACHING legal basis for this shit?

Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

'kids safety' is an amazing goal to pursue, if you follow the data. safe streets, attack car dependency, expand public transit, disincentivize SUVs, higher emissions taxes, restricting firearm access, upgrades to air filters in schools and homes, universal healthcare, baby bonds, on and on.

Effectively declares that the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers, Washington, Adams, other presidents, centuries of jurisprudence, and many others were wrong about the presidency, and that the only ones who ever understood it correctly were Richard Nixon, Donald Trump, and their fans.

the revealed view of this SCOTUS is that the framers got things mixed up when they wrote the constitution and that actually, the president is the central figure of the national government and congress exists as a junior partner that really ought not get in his way

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...

Yeah, that’s the America I grew up in. When I say the anti-trans playbook now is the same playbook as they ran in the 90s against gay people, I mean the SAME

3 seconds of googling tells me this is the New York gay men’s chorus at a get out the vote event but wouldn’t want that to get in the way of being a complete asshole towards anyone trying to actually do anything constructive

Unfettered access to one insane friend's media collection is better than any streaming service on the planet

Factory-built housing in the wild! Excited about this 100% affordable 70-unit building right next to BART being built with prefab modules and finished on-site with Carpenters’ labor. Housing innovation has this part of the El Cerrito Plaza going up in weeks instead of months.

lmao these wreckers can fuck all the way off. posted right after Kim got pepper sprayed on the front lines.

i like going on bluesky

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Henry George wrote a famous letter outlining his political theory to Pope Leo XIII, now Leo XIV, 135 years later, reaches a kind of georgism on IP.

they’re making wheat drop his melee brokeaholic cv on x the everything app we have strayed so far from Heaven

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

@idothethinking.bsky.social do you have a 'housing/urbanist starter pack' of books/blog posts? historically ive mostly pointed people to your blog and donald shoup, but was curious if you have some favorites you tend to recommend.

I’m proud to have opened today’s California Gubernatorial Candidate Housing Forum, hosted by @ezraklein.bsky.social and the @nytimes.com One of these participants will likely be our next governor – so tune in to learn where they stand on California’s most important issue.

this is nearing treason impeach them all

I don’t think Americans with hypertension and various other treatable conditions deserve to die. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

The fact that if I ran for local office and won, I would have to take a pay cut to manage a $1.3 billion budget and make decisions that directly impact the well-being of half a million people is kind of insane. Unpopular but true: we under-pay our often disappointing politicians.

in 1.2k reposts and hundreds of comments i saw 1 person who actually linked the full interview. it's an aside - and maybe a lame one, within a larger, vital argument about how democrats instantly give up on their goals at the first 'no.' build the habit of reading the context for stuff people post!

I spent good money on that Nintendo power magazine on eBay. every time chat complained about a the official move names I added 2 more to the queue.

There’s a law underway to stop this by mandating speed limiters in vehicles that rack up a history of reckless driving. but it’s being held up by the state assembly, because the Speaker is… also a super speeder himself. Call Speaker Heastie and tell him to support Stop Super Speeders: 518-455-3791

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

Right-NIMBYism is the generally correct belief that you can keep your city exclusive by blocking new housing. Left-NIMBYism is the mistaken idea that you can keep your city affordable and attainable by blocking new housing.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

It's just unreal how little thought or planning went into starting a new massive war in the Middle East.

Another post from my grandma, this one a fictional piece (which is very rare from all I have of her). It was written in 1979, I think. She got an A- and praise for her "effective use of narrative".

new post from the archives of my grandma's writing that i'm scanning and uploading
