At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at
@alanakinrich.medsky.social
for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

Remember, Zohran's primary win doesn't count because RCV isn't democratic. Also his general win doesn't count because if you took all of Silwa's votes and reallocate 100% to their presumed second choice and also somehow come up with another 2%....

This is great and all but it's also a damning indictment of NYC housing policies over the last 55 years.

Whelp the closer we get to Berkeley city council's first meeting on commercial corridor upzoning, the more upset the local NIMBYs are getting. First sign this letter:

It's crazy that we have this incredible concert venue in the midst of Berkeley but we severely limit the number of shows to appease a handful of NIMBYs who apparently weren't aware that there was a university here when they bought their homes. Thousands of people vs dozens.

This is a clear sign that Democrats are being too harsh on Republicans. Voters want a positive message and bipartisanship. That's why it's important that Democrats take the blame on themselves to appeal to middle class moderate voters Where do I go to collect my party strategist paycheck?

Can’t really articulate how furious it makes me to see gentile politicians wield fake charges of antisemitism against Mamdani. It’s not just the plain Islamophobia, it’s the fact that they’re needlessly stoking tensions in a way that puts Jewish New Yorkers at GREATER risk.

Do you think, I have not just cause to weep, when I consider that Zohran at my age had conquered so many shitty centrist Dems, and I have all this time done nothing that is memorable?

Speaking of peak masculinity, a buddy and I spent all day yesterday nailing up a tin ceiling in my dining room and it. Looks. Wild. (The blue paint is just the primer color and wallpaper is being installed in a week and a half)

Spotted in Berkeley. One of these trucks has a useful bed for hauling things and has clearly put in some hard work. The other's bed is barely big enough for its owner's insecurities.

I was at an event a few years ago with Rafi, right before he headed out on a trip to Israel. I asked him to look at how vibrant of a city Tel Aviv is and that apartment buildings on Ocean Beach would not destroy the city. He literally did this meme.

Pritzker invokes his own Jewish background in responding to Trump: "Stop tearing down the Constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about anti-semitism. When you destroy social justice, you are disparaging the very foundation of Judaism."
