Nithya Raman in LA is the first Leftist mayoral candidate to learn the lesson of Mamdani: "Affordability in the front, Abundance in the back" A platform to deliver on egalitarian values & assemble a popular mandate with a clear plan for inclusive-yet-explosive economic growth

Finally, the Dark YIMBY leader we deserve

There are children all over the world, right now, suffering and dying from diseases that humanity cured nearly a century ago, because this administration thought saving each American the cost of a sandwich per year was more important than preventing their deaths, the evolution of

wild times we are living in: Hochul and Zohran want to streamline regulations to make it easier to build housing …while the republicans want to keep bureaucratic red tape that makes it expensive and difficult to build housing

Some people are literally dead because Trump won in 2016 and 2024. Quite a lot actually, because of Covid. But hey, you're upset that your guy lost a primary by not getting enough votes. That's what's really important.

If the outcome of this war is that Iran is MORE geopolitically important than they were before, and the whole world just kind of accepts they get to control and toll Hormuz, and MAGA somehow declares it a victory anyways, I'm going to become the joker.

truthfully nobody is "winning", both sides are now engaged in mutually assured destruction while the world teeters on the brink. Iran's suffering enormously and may tread into failed state status after this while the US is losing priceless assets+enormous reputational damage.

He's literally just a brain damaged toddler that demands people give him awards and tell him what a special little boy he is. Trumpism must be erased from the government. It is totally un-American.

Finding out Gaza City is twinned with Tel Aviv was a punch in the gut, there really was a time people thought better things were possible

New Yorkers can’t afford to wait any longer. Let’s cut the red tape and let them build.

I've never been much of a "FAFO" person. Not blaming those who are. It's just not my personality. That said, I'm looking at the economic indicators rights now and it does look like the entire country might be about to be in for an extreme "FAFO" moment.

Democrats need to go dark woke on this immediately Every hospital and clinic that closes should have a massive 4-story sign that says THIS HOSPITAL IS CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE REPUBLICAN "BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL." VOTE IN NOVEMBER

>Nation named hungry >round bellied leader >named Victor Orbman Wtf is this Kojima writing

There is a real documented effort by autocratic regimes that all support each other, all using back channels to evade sanctions, to dismantle Western power, especially when it comes to America, by dividing the West. These states have little in common other than an antipathy

I am optimistic about this country's ability to assimilate immigrants and their children into American values, and less optimistic about our ability to assimilate citizens with a seething hatred of immigrants into American values.

The Saturnal doom loop is a broad political church

I'm not sure about you, but I think the collapse of US hegemony, a global price spike and recession, and a new ground war in the Middle East are far worse than drag queens reading books at the library.

My older sister got cancer when she was 21 - Burkitt Lymphoma. Had either of my parents gotten that cancer at 21, they very likely would have died. Instead, she got treated, recovered, and became a doctor. Things can get better :)
