Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

Since I regularly piss off YIMBYs, I want to make sure its clear that I completely agree with @maxdubler.com. I don't believe in so-called "inclusionary" zoning. Directly provision housing and have standardized, simple rules for private development. You have to keep focus on the big picture.

Boston’s chief planner is a true believer in the San Francisco model, in which you make it impossible to profitably build apartments by-right so developers are forced into a politicized discretionary negotiation with the city, which relaxes the rules in exchange for below-market units.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

I don't know what's going to happen in this Brazilian election, but imagine watching these early results as one of those Mayors that shut down bus service to screw with Lula's voters.

Democratic leaders knew for decades what the Federalist Society was doing, and about the numerous student radicalization groups like TPUSA. They knew that far-right investors were propping up people like Limbaugh and Hannity. And ignored the pleas of @hartmannreport.com to do something.

Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott $500K in campaign cash. Musk's companies have received $1.6 billion in tax incentives and $30 million in grants funded by Texas taxpayers. Texans deserve to know what else he's gotten in return.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." ~ F.D.R

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia. There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.
