This! More homes = landlords compete over tenants instead of tenants competing with one another

Everyone should cancel Disney plus and Hulu streaming right now, right after reading this. I also would boycott the movies and product and Disney visits until they turn this around. They can cave to fascism, we don’t have to.

Delete your Disney Plus Subscription

“Holy crap!” Watch this @Tesla FSD fail after making a right-turn, forcing the driver to take control to avoid an oncoming semi truck. Ban it now!

Equity planners: we must expand opportunities for marginalized communities to build generational wealth. Marginalized communities: I would like to sell my house to a developer at a huge profit and move out of the neighborhood where racist policy forced me to live. Equity planners: not like that!!!

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc. Via @theconversation.bsky.social

$73M is around half a million service hours. That’s a lot of major frequency and span improvements, and they would be a better use of the money.

Cuomo’s car parked (illegally) outside union HQ. I asked a cop nearby if it was parked illegally. He said “yes.” Why? “Because it got two tickets already”

thing about Cuomo is his posturing as the "get stuff done" candidate is complete bullshit. he *sucks* at management. an overconfident, sloppy moron who constantly makes howlingly bad decisions bsky.app/profile/timm...

I thought my job as Senator was to try to keep my constituents alive.

Republicans, in their vindictive desire to smash California's climate policy, have handed Democrats a tool to tie up Senate floor time indefinitely. From @ddayen.bsky.social prospect.org/politics/202...

The way the CBC uses ‘elected or leading’ to keep track of election results is absolutely ridiculous. “If this holds, the riding would flip” - CBC anchor

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

BREAKING: Massachusetts House introduces the "Legalizing Massachusetts in All Massachusetts Communities Act." The bill would require all municipal zoning ordinances be updated to ensure they are no more restrictive than dimensions and uses of housing already there.

A Virginia law allowing judges to mandate speed limiters in dangerous drivers’ vehicles could spark similar legislation regulating excessive speeding in other states.

James May, former host of [checks notes] Top Gear, welcome to The War on Cars.

Circling back on this…

lmao getting fact checked irl

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

The Dems who joined the GOP on today’s cloture vote: Cortez Masto (NV), Durbin (IL), Fetterman (PA), Gillibrand (NY), King (ME), Hassan (NH), Peters (MI), Schatz (HI), Schumer (NY), Shaheen (NH).

Anyway I just sent a fax to my senator. faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

If Sen. Schumer votes to proceed with the GOP-only budget bill…he no longer deserves to be Minority Leader. Period.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

When calling senators also ask them to oust Schumer as minority leader!

I cannot emphasize this enough: no one will remember the shutdown even happened when it’s time to vote next year. One way or the other!

If you pass this CR I will be pushing my senators to remove you from leadership. You are failing us.

VOTE NO on cloture.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Schumer doesn't deserve to be minority leader. #ReplaceSchumer

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

A rent freeze and free bus fares would be devastating to New York. Ideas that sound good, but have huge negative second order effects.

This is the first yard sign I have seen in Princeton for the upcoming Democratic gubernatorial primary and it's for @stevenfulop.bsky.social!!

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Phil Murphy’s decision to side with Donald Trump in opposition to congestion pricing is one of the most shameful things I have ever seen from a democratic politician. he’s literally screwing over his own constituents who are benefiting from less traffic and better transit

Roughly 30% of the reason I am rooting for Mark Carney for Canadian PM is it would be incredibly funny to have a guy go from Governor of the Bank of Canada to Governor of the Bank of England to Prime Minister of Canada. 1792 ahh career path.
