I drive a hybrid but it's true that I think abortion should be legal and that storming the Capitol and threatening to murder members of congress unless they overturn the election should be illegal.

Biden on whether Trump is an insurrectionist:
'Whether the 14th Amendment applies or not, we'll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There's no question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on it.'

Colorado, the 14th Amendment, and the right’s January 6 revisionism

Accountability for the events of January 6, 2021, is playing out in an environment in which the Trumpist media have developed a twisted alternate narrative of that insurrection mediamatters.org/january-6-insu…

'It's a bad idea to keep Trump off the ballot because he might respond by leading his supporters in a violent insurrection' strikes me as both a reasonable point and very much a statement of the problem.

Our Misinformer of the Year is the legacy news media, which spent much of 2023 downplaying Trump's incendiary remarks and hazardous policies. The year was full of warning signs for how the press will cover Trump '24.

This real estate guy lost all his money because Austin built a bunch of new housing, which raised vacancy rates and gave tenants more leverage to demand lower rents in the existing building that he invested in.

If you want to screw landlords and speculators, build more homes.

This isn't a House appointment projection map, this is a home construction map, and it's devastating for Democrats in our most progressive places that they're inaccessible.

1/ Two weeks ago, more than 750 Washington Post employees walked off the job for 24 hours to demand The Washington Post negotiate in good faith for a contract that keeps pace with inflation and our competition.

Instead, they returned with peanuts.

The RSF seized the city of Wad Madani after ceasefire talks with the Sudanese military failed, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee. 'Women traded tips on how to prevent pregnancy or induce abortions in case they were raped.' washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/…

Things are worsening in . It is looking likely that the country will be fully taken by the RSF which will create another catastrophic situation in the heart of Africa and MENA regions. Expect a flood of refugees to countries that have their own conflicts. Russia wins again

'The market cannot provide housing for everyone and no capitalist system has done so without government intervention. But is California and New York becoming more capitalist while Texas and Florida is embracing leftism?' - Darrell Owens darrellowens.substack.com/p/progressives…

You cannot end politics. You can do your best to make things better. Sometimes you'll succeed, and sometimes you'll fail. But tomorrow is another day. And that's the most successful system for governance anyone has come up with.

Social media is great because there’s always someone out here trying to drag you for normal opinions like “trying a violent revolution has some downsides, perhaps we should stick to electoral politics.”

'When we were a culture that really valued family and really understood the natural order that God intended, man serving God, woman following man who serves God, man and woman developing and nurturing children. You only needed one vote per household.'

Huh. Apparently 'lying to investors about the development of ... electric trucks in order to inflate the company’s stock price' is illegal. techcrunch.com/2023/12/18/nik…
