YIMBYLAND When it leads to displacement they literally are

“The future is tenements” says our progressive leadership. You will own nothing and be happy.

I would just once love to see a TV news interviewer ask a major American political figure why Israel has a right to defend itself but Palestinians do not given that the overwhelming majority of those killed since 1948 and October 6 have been Palestinian and not Israeli.

This is *not* just another statistic. This is the most damning indictment of the calamity we're visiting upon our living planet. 🌏

The fact that Democrats removed 16 and 17-year-olds from this bill is unconscionable.

YIMBYs are really like "San Francisco can't compare to the world's greatest city, Houston"

Is there anyone credible out there can explain in simple terms why this isn’t a truly terrifying image? Like, why isn’t this headline news almost every day?

Tree planting and biodiversity offsets give the impression we can just create nature, or replace what we destroy. But we cannot No technology can create a 500 yr old tree, the only thing that can is 500 yrs Nature is irreplaceable, and we must treat it as such

Notable that the GOP can’t even avoid engaging in hate speech *at a hearing about the rise in hate crimes.* Sending all the love to my brilliant friend Maya Berry, who responded to Kennedy’s corny slack-jawed yokel routine with far more patience and class than he deserves.

Steve McGuire These people fighting over who “isnt white” is unseemly and embarrassing.

The climate is incinerating, wars are expanding, nobody can afford health care, the election is awash in dark money…and yet much of the press corps seems mostly interested in covering an inane sexting scandal that reads like a shitty Bonfire of the Vanities parody.

oh huh

Wow. Secure Funding Group received over $1million in taxpayer-funded PPP handouts. Then went on a house buying spree in San Diego. 1 of which ended up on Airbnb. 4338 33RD PL Apr 12 '21 2560 E ST Jan 27 '22 1719 33RD ST Oct 11 '21 Omar Garcia & Diego Palomera Jr

I have a feeling Tony Blinken's legacy is not going to age well.

A periodic reminder that Republican Party and legacy conservative media has every bit as much contempt for the working and middle class as the most hostile New York Times reporter.
