I realize how much I’m beating a dead horse here, but it really is unsettling to me how many people on here have leaned into loud-and-proud racism at the sight of any non-white Americans as their way forward If they’ll stir resentment against Khan they will do so against anyone

This is outrageous. Cubans and Venezuelans who came to the U.S. *legally*—fleeing socialism & communism—are being fast-tracked for deportation by the Trump administration without so much as a hearing. If you claim to hate those oppressive regimes, then you can't defend this.

Excellent post from Noah Millman: "What If We Held a Constitutional Crisis and Nobody Came?" (link below)

If you needed more proof that the DC police takeover is theater, here it is: *20 cops* showed up at the sandwich thrower’s home to rearrest him—after he’d already appeared in court. 20 cops. Not sure how anyone who thinks murder is a problem in DC can defend this spectacle.

We’re building homes for AIs faster than we’re building homes for humans.

They are literally having meetings about meetings

This is how stupid Portland's bureaucracy is: PBOT is extending pay to park hours to 10pm in Downtown, Pearl, and Old Town. This is after they just raised the rates, too. Portland is poorly governed, but Portland Bureau of Transportation has to be near the bottom. koin.com/news/portland/…
