This is a bit obscure, I know, but something I've never figured out about Rebecca Solnit is how her nativism escapes scrutiny. She wrote a piece years ago about making a bunch of $ selling her house that is overtly anti-Asian.
It's all kayfabe. Far more effective with voters than liberalism

Just to be clear: he was working in the US without authorization prior to getting a visa. I had a friend who found himself in the same situation 25 years ago (his employer didn't file required paperwork) and he was banned from the US for 10 years
This tool is part of the incoming mayoral administration in San Francisco. Brought to you by the "moderate" wing of the Democratic party
It has been incredibly difficult to get a refund for these metal-infused granola bars. Manufacturer says to go deal with the merchant, merchants want nothing to do with it

A British force led by Sir Kieth Streamer would get annihilated

Also an indictment of Obamism, which people have now experienced for 12/16 years. Eg Obama took 6 years to get employment back, did nothing to stop foreclosures, Biden cut 25M people off Medicaid and supported rate hikes to 5.5%. It's like the Clinton quote, except the Dems are weak *and* wrong
Saddam Hussein had multiple independent security forces, and they would break into each other's barracks, put guns to people's heads, claim they were going to overthrow him, and let the others figure out whether to go along. Easy solution!
I mean, even if you ignore every other person on earth, Netanyahu openly wishes for violence on the diaspora and pushes Soros conspiracy theories, so I'd say it's a pretty significant threat
My 8yo while watching the Jets lose to the Blues: "you're right that the Jets are cursed"
Let's not forget Biden cutting 25M people off of Medicaid. Half a million people in Pennsylvania alone. Bernie couldn't damage the Democratic brand that much if he tried to
I recall it fondly. She's a very strange fail daughter.
At this point, is there any reason to keep the Epstein story quiet just to protect Bill Clinton?
If you didn't get Covid five times a year, it would be a lot easier
All because he was worried about Phil Murphy losing
Yep - should have announced it at the convention, complete malpractice

One of the most-baffling moments of this batshit campaign is Kamala saying she'd legalize weed on Oct 14 and got absolutely zero traction. The one thing she promised that's broadly popular and she did it in such a weird way (part of the 'black men crypto' package) that she got no mileage out of it
The thing is, insurance companies want more customers. They make more if people are insured. So he made nobody happy
Biden is just...a moron. The Covid health emergency gave him wide latitude to provide health care to people; he could have, eg, insured everyone. But he was ideologically opposed to it, and look where we are now
I've seen a lot of takes in the last week, but not too many that noted Biden personally kicked 25M people off Medicaid and fully bought in to raising rates to 5.5% to punish workers
Brooke Jenkins is so incompetent as SF DA that she's getting fewer convictions than her recalled predecessor. You can only hope
As @seangentille.bsky.social wrote so eloquently, 'Rudy' is an atrocious movie, and his story is not even remotely inspiring
The day after the 2004 election, NPR was telling us that Bush had won some massive mandate and this was the will of the people. I changed the station and have pretty much never listened to it again
People also say that Garry Tan has blocked half of San Francisco on Twitter. He's hated and he knows it
Progressives are 40% of the electorate. There's another 10% that are persuadable. But then there are 38% immovable establishment Dems and 12% republicans. So the stars have to align to win a citywide race. And the mayor and the media would rather align with Fox News than cover progressives
Check out the hate that this AstroTurf PAC is getting. There are lots of vocal haters out there. Local press pretends we don't exist.

Yes, the mayors who got 53% and 50.6% of the vote are horrible people. Just like the guy who got 50.4% in New York is horrible. Doesn't reflect on New Yorkers in general.
Original statement: "San Francisco is awash with weak ass people in general." The city with the greatest proportion of its population that opposes the democratic party from the left is not a mirror of a wealthy university. Do you realize how many of us hate Garry Tan, David Sacks, and Peter Thiel?
What does San Francisco, a city where the Green party got 47% in a mayoralty race, have to do with Stanford, a private university 35 miles to the south?
