health of a society is inversely proportional to how badly you need a dashcam in it

If China bombed a school on a military base in Honolulu and assassinated the president and major Republicans *and also* Schumer, Harris, Sanders, AOC, etc. in the name of No Kings, how exactly do you think that would affect the liberal opposition in America?

The trend shift in adults per family household is so insane.

its even more insane that every important policymaker and economist thought we were slowly soaking up a glut of homes even into the 2010s.

And it’s even more insane that there are still supply-crisis skeptics today.

DeKalb legislator not seeking reelection to Georgia Senate Sen. Elena Parent, D–Atlanta, announced March 5 that she is not seeking reelection to state Senate District 44 this year. Parent has served in the state Senate since 2015 and previously served in the ...

she was the minority chair in the georgia house, btw. not just anyone. there was a lot of anger in our community over her refusal to fight for trans kids, especially. other democrats should take note

Josh Barro on Twitter saying "I'm sorry, who decided that males have a right to play in girls' sports leagues? Some people just made this shit up and decided it was a civil right."

It makes me really sad that Ken White (who I genuinely respect) still podcasts with a transphobic motherfucker like Josh Barro.

Why are 50,000 housing units entitled in San Francisco, but not breaking ground?

Last year, I authorized a first-of-its kind study from our city's analyst division: comparing our city's post-entitlement permitting system with other cities to understand how to fix this.

Here's what we learned:

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.

Screenshot of a tweet from Mike Berg, Sen Sheehy's staffer saying "Our excellent Capitol Police dropped off a patch for Senator Sheehy after he helped them remove this unhinged protestor from the hearing." with a photo of the patch.

If you're wondering about US Capitol Police's opinion on Senator Tim Sheehy after he attacked a protesting veteran that they were in the process of also attacking... they gave him a patch.

This is what the Capitol Police think of protesters. Remember j6th with that in mind.

hate knowing that this skeet is gonna get the "apollo gift of prophecy" meme appended to it in like 3 years

Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

I always tell my friends who are looking for a man over 40 that I have found them. They are all at physical therapy.

You touch on this on the article, but another key fact is that these primary challengers were not "rogue" Democrats. The state Dem party under Anderson Clayton pulled support for the incumbents for their anti trans and anti immigrant votes and actively encouraged the primary challenges.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

That the Sheriff is elected, has no tax powers, gets all his money from the C&C of SF, authorizes all overtime, and that state law forces SF to honor authorized overtime, is a major flaw in the system.

"Frankly, I don't care for it"

Telling the platform about that frank someone put in your messages

I wish more folks knew about message franking. But I can feel the monkey paw's finger curl as I type that.

I did, once, wish more folks knew about Trust & Safety work

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

There are good kings and bad kings, the difference between the two matters, and you’d much rather live under a good king than a bad king. But ultimately the risk of the bad kings far outweighs the potential upside of a good one. Exact same principle applies here. Too much tail risk.

We'd all be happier if we lived somewhere walkable (The Deep Space Nine space station)

Just realized that with Abolish ICE at +11, it's polling over 30 percentage-points ahead of Trump approval. Guess that means if the media wants to be representative, it should give at least like 40% more airtime to people who support abolishing ICE to Trump supporters

read in the papers an unleashed dog went inside BART tracks to cause a major delay and had a flashing vision that one day we will get Platform Screen Doors in the Bay Area too and we will ask what took so long for something so obvious
