It took us the better part of six months to acquire the necessary permits to update our house, and we aren’t even in a historic district. Meanwhile, this MFer bulldozed an entire wing of the White House and has started building this gaudy thing with barely any oversight at all.

If you are a member of the press who does not understand the significance of the No Kings protests, then you don't understand what the Trump administration is trying to accomplish or how authoritarianism operates more broadly. In short, you're not fit to be a member of the press during these times.

Well done. #NoKings

Massive nationwide protests against Oligarchy and Tyranny in the US, hundreds of thousands took the streets across every major city and everywhere in between. #NoKings #3E #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy

Great 🧵 about how to overcome the NIMBY challenges that cities face. DC folk: we see these things every time something new and urbanist is brought to the table. The same cranks show up with the same tired arguments. @brenttoderian.bsky.social speaks to that here. Read up!

DC can do this.

Good one in NYC.

Picard management tip: The line must be drawn somewhere. It might as well be here.

Like @billjank.bsky.social said: this is a quality rant. And it points out why the @democrats.org and their insistence on rituals, procedure, et al, is the way to LOSING EVERY BATTLE WORTH FIGHTING AND/OR WINNING. The old farts and pedants need to stand aside if the party is to ever win again.

Absolutely best rant you will read all day.

Where do you think the world would be right now if Al Gore’s Presidency hadn’t been stolen?

In a session about Amtrak's ability to handle bicycle transport. Some routes (both in California) do really well! But it sounds like Amtrak wants to see demand before offering better facilities. If there's one place where induced demand is needed it's on the trains! @bikeleague.org

Donald Trump is a bully. All bullies are cowards & crybabies. This is the coward/crybaby lashing out. And to all our European allies, good job standing up to this bully. Keep it up. Don’t help him. Don’t cave to him. Punch him in the nose. He created this mess all by himself.👇

And some day in the not-too-distant future the UN may well classify our current president and his cronies as a crime against humanity. It would be fitting. #resist

Once again, @mayorbowser.dc.gov shows fealty to Trump and doesn’t defend the people she is oath-bound to serve. Shameful. Worst DC mayor ever - no competition any more. @councilofdc.bsky.social needs to override this veto ASAP! The people of DC deserve to have MPD for them, not the Feds. #resist

Absolutely despicable move by Mayor Bowser, once again showing how little regard she has for DC residents. @councilofdc.bsky.social should override the veto ASAP.

As immigrant detentions and deportations soar under President Trump’s mass deportation campaign, animal welfare groups in cities like New Orleans scramble to feed, foster and re-home the pets left behind. nyti.ms/3NAyKtV

A normal Congress would simply pass the bill, have the President veto it, and then override the veto

Enough with the FALSE CHOICE between increasing infill density or increasing the urban tree canopy. BOTH are not only possible, but absolutely necessary. Good design is the key. The real design challenge isn’t building density or the space needed for trees… it’s the space we still surrender to cars.

The question that broke America fundamentally was ‘do all people deserve basic rights?’ This question was too hard for us. Too hard for our leadership. It still is. So now all of our rights are in jeopardy.

You don’t see factories that make solar panels suddenly exploding and sending plumes of smoke into the atmosphere.

MAKE SURE that this is the conversation. It’s the reason this horrible thing happened. It’s the ONLY reason. Everything else is a distraction.

This thread is most excellent - and most telling. And it spells out *clearly* why Democrats (and other leaders who still hold out hope that the U.S. can recover from this rapid turn toward authoritarianism & fascism) need to rethink policing, especially ICE. (h/t to @billjank.bsky.social) #resist

Every confirmation of another corrupt Trump lackey is another failure of leadership and courage. Every single one.

Today, class, we will once again discuss “revealed preferences”

This is literally exactly the kind of thinking that lead to RBG not resigning under Obama. Gov. Chad Bianco will be a lot worse for California minorities than seeing Betty Yee's ambitions stymied. Fuck off.

Honored to receive the endorsement of the DC Bike Walk and Bus PAC. Every DC resident deserves safe streets, reliable transit, and a city that is truly built for the people. Together, we will make that DC a reality.

Why are these GOP "leaders" not showing any spine and standing up to the fuckwit at 1600 Penn Ave? He literally CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO THEM! Yet they give in every. single. time. It's exhausting. The GOP has the power to overcome a POTUS veto here. Perhaps they can, y'know, use it?

GOP and Trump own the DHS and TSA shutdown. Pass it on. Call your DNC representatives and tell them to make sure any funding document ensures DHS follows the law, and has officers who can be held accountable for abuses of Americans and those who wish to live here.

Might I make a suggestion then, Iowa...

If this had happened under the Biden administration, Republicans wouldn't have waited for the smoke to clear before calling for Secretary Pete Buttigieg to resign or be fired. Among other demands, Democrats need to make it clear that Sean Duffy has got to go.
