Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
fully agree with this
this one is very funny actually!
i stopped watching the news for a few days and it looks like we're going to war with venezuela
happy birthday dom

ELECTION RESULT from Alabama: Paul Prine, the former police chief of Mobile who was fired last year while facing a damning report about his departmentâs use of force against Black residents, has lost the mayoral race. He came in third, and will not move forward to the September runoff.
Amazing victory for Cracker Rights.
I was this manâs business staffer. He knows nothing about business and heâs actually rather stupid about the private sector altogether. All he knows is how to curry favor with private sector leaders to fund his campaigns. By âpro-corporateâ he means pro grift.
i know fascism is an aesthetics-first cruelty movement but there is something so deeply shameful that the "upset about cracker barrel" people are occupying cities and kidnapping people and, by and large, every institution in america is chill-to-enthusiastic about it.
Gavin Newsom will be interviewing the old Cracker Barrel logo on his podcast.
AOC and Bernie are among the most popular political figures in the country. Kinda weird for that to be the case if they're using this supposedly toxic language.
i am far from an alarmist but i have been operating under this assumption since he won. itâs why i thought that he should have been asked, at some point, whether he intended to leave office on january 20, 2029.
this is a very bid deal.
Trump is about to put me in jail for no reason. But Iâm still proud that I wrote in Dwight Eisenhower instead of voting for Kamala Harris
i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not
My opinion on the 2028 presidential primary is that we shouldnât make any decisions until we see how many of the candidates end up as political prisoners
Workers under cover of night removed a rainbow crosswalk outside of the former Pulse nightclub, apparently as part of state and federal transportation officialsâ aim to wipe âpolitical bannersâ from public roadways. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/21/r...
this is profoundly fucked up. they are criminalizing trans existence.
so she admits there is a lack of progress
This is genocidal rhetoric calling people cockroaches. This is exactly the language used in the Rwandan genocide.
The Trump administration is going to try and deport tens of millions of legal immigrants on visas. The goal is ethnic cleansing on a mass scale. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
interesting
I can only imagine the show federal officers are going to put on for Trump tonight. Stay vigilant out there. If you see anything, send to marisakabas.04 on Signal.
Would it be legal for Trump to cancel the presidential election? These Federalist Society judges think so.
stop and frisk has always been fascist politics.
you have my vote, Andrew Cuomo!
rightwingers love to make fascist art with ai generators, ai image generation is the aesthetic of fascism
I do not trust the impulse to defend conservatismâs reputation from the results it has very deliberately and persistently manufactured right before our eyes.
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
Thereâs an essay to be written about how this administration is more or less preying on young adults to do their public dirty work because they donât think through consequences. Itâs similar to the personal essay industrial complex of the 2010s, but with much direr consequences.
I remember when Chris Matthews was worried that if Sanders were elected President that he and other enemies of the regime would be executed in Central Park but heâs okay with a military occupation of the nationâs capital
Just to be clear because it apparently confused some people, I think what Gavin Newsom is doing on Twitter is great. I just think the conclusion from it should be âall/more Democrats should be doing that,â not âthis soulless, transphobic opportunist deserves to be president now.â
i mean, it *should* but that would be a pretty naive expectation
It used to be far-right groups who flooded cities wearing masks and military gear, looking for a fight. Now itâs anonymous federal agents who are violently attacking people on the street. newrepublic.com/article/1992...
How are we supposed to coexist with people that think nonstop about injuring and/or killing others?
The purpose of the second amendment has always been to empower white men to use violence to control space. And the purpose of this instruction is to make it easier for white men to murder people of color in DC.
Imagine the power the Phillies would unlock if their hot dog buns were even a little good
Just going to say that there is no need to exceptionalize immigrant jails because every US jail and prison is like this. All of them without exception.
also, very weird photo?
andrew cuomo is a craven, disgusting, predatory piece of shit and it's very important he lose this election.
this is (1) not a distraction, (2) not able to be disentangled from the military occupation of multiple us cities, and (3) the greatest threat to liberty in this country since jim crow
At (another) Hamptonâs fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: heâs expecting Trumpâs help to defeat us in November. âI feel good about that,â Cuomo said. New Yorkers wonât.
New from me: Trump is a dictator who must be removed from power and we need to state that out loud. open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...
Itâs not, they have, and by doing this, Hakeem Jeffries is once again supporting a narcissistic sex pest with a record of corruption (who is the reason NYâs gerrymandering is what it is and why Jeffries is not speaker!!) over the rightful winner of the Democratic Primary.
Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.
That tracks I guess
Even just inverting the filibusterâ60 to hold legislationâwould be enough to force the Senate to do its goddamn job. We truly have a do-nothing Congress and it starts with the Senate insisting that theyâre feudal lords and not public servants. Laziest motherfuckers out there.
Iâm still thinking about this from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social a few days ago:
There are no distractions everything is bad Hope that helps
Remember when Israel and their defenders used to get incredulous when they were compared to the apartheid regime? They have almost inarguably become something even worse.
this is true.
We shouldn't let the idea this might be *a distraction* end up *distracting us* from the fact these are really disturbing developments that he's plotted for a while.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Crime rates in all three cities have gone down, and in Baltimore at astounding levels, in part by treating crime as a public health crisis, rather than a "need more cops" crisis. popular.info/p/the-secret...
There's a subset of liberals who have made an absolute art of living the life of a preemptively-boiled frog
Beyond the immediate use of this to crack down on immigrants and people of color, I will bet you that they're going to target LGBTQ bars and drag events. With direct police powers, they'll have free reign to do whatever they want.
Good for him
Thanks, but you could've pushed for DC statehood at any time.
DC is FORTY-ONE PERCENT Black. Do you understand?
starting to think maybe RFK Jr. was telling the truth in the hundreds of podcasts and speeches he did about being anti-vax and then lied that one time in front of Congress
when some smug little piece of shit says he got jumped for no reason it's always for the obvious reason
is she getting footballed? or is she just carrying water for him

When I was very young I used to think landing an NYT opinion commission was proof of being a Very Smart Person, and. Lol
A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.
This is a must read on how the ADL radicalized itself under Jonathan Greenblatt and became a deeply illiberal and authoritarian organization solely committed to censoring its critics and shielding Israel from criticism. nymag.com/intelligence...
âItâs not enough for the nationâs most important newspaper to chronicle democracyâs decline. It must, at some point, affirmatively oppose it.â trib.al/QAK9NSw
Lol fuck her
This post and clip both read as if they're the setup for an "and here's what we're going to do about it" post, but ... no. That's it. That's the whole thing. Just "Here's what the GOP is doing." That's the message.
imo racists are the real racists
I love imagining a world in which Trump illegally takes power for a third term but follows the law in every other respect.
why is it called the perverts calendar
Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
Iâm fired up for the Dems to take back the House and continue to work with Republicans to pass legislation that continues to harm Americans. Cause they will and say working in a bipartisan fashion is what Americans want.
someone save these people from themselves
I'm about to do it. I'm about to say "imagine if Biden did this." I don't want to but I must, because it'd be very funny. Imagine if Biden said his uncle told him how brilliant the Unabomber was a decade before he was identified. Imagine the very funny NYT push notification you'd get on your phone.
Stop calling it Alligator Alcatraz and call it a concentration camp
Parents insist their kids go to college to get business degrees. Administrators respond by defunding the humanities and social sciences, while hiring business profs at ~2X what historians get paid. Meanwhile, businesses say over and over that they want to hire humanities and social science majors.
transgender people are the core demographic trumpism is targeting as a wedge. if you are unable or unwilling to see this now, by the time they come for you it will be too late
hi @politico.com my name is marisa kabas and i publish the handbasket and you basically copied my story and then linked me in the 23rd paragraph of your story without specific attribution: www.politico.com/news/2025/07... here's my original: www.thehandbasket.co/p/fema-david...

Trump regime ICE forces brutally attacked a man who screamed for help at a Walmart in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Walmart staff removed the witness filming, the employees were collaborating with ICE in covering up the incident. #3E #StopICE
Some of my fellow Jews think a college kid wearing a kaffiyeh is a greater threat to their personal safety than an authoritarian government rounding up people to send to torture camps and the world's richest man who made a Nazi AI, and I'm really not sure what to say to them anymore.
"Fury over our Nazi propaganda proves we should continue to publish Nazi propaganda." - NYT senior reporter www.semafor.com/article/07/0...
It seems to me the significance of this whole saga is the NYT unquestionably published a racist attack, as an institution theyâve decided theyâre not going to acknowledge or apologize for that, and their unrepentant attitude is likely to shift the whole landscape. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/04/u...
This is the worst possible framing of the past few months. It's fascism, a stacked court, a compliant and spineless Congress, an international mess on the economic side, and an illegal bombing. But sure, a "winning streak." @nytimes.com doing NY Times thing.
In 2023, the United States budgeted $12.8 billion to build new affordable housing. Weâre about to spend nearly four times on detention centers what we spend on housing. https://trib.al/hHq48nP

charelle parker is an idiot
give the dc33 what they are asking for ffs
theyâre not allowing elected officials to see the concentration camp because itâs a concentration camp
hail to the thieves
This isn't freedom.
Very normal reaction to seeing the will of the people voting in a city a thousand miles away from where you live.
The Republican Party is the verminous, bigoted party of ignorance and anti-Americanism, striving to turn this into a totalitarian blood-and-soil shithole.
