Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

She fucking killed an entire family while speeding in her Mercedes SUV and they’re not going to even take her license away??

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ β€œnew restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

a literal parking lot

Currently dialed into a community board meeting where a bunch of boomer NIMBYs are trying to argue this NoHo parking lot needs to be preserved and not turned into affordable housing.

god, NIMBYs are beyond parody. they must be politically crushed

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

It’s an affront to the idea of a written constitution that this case will reach oral argument.

I honestly do not know if most liberals and leftists are aware that β€œMexican” is a slur all by itself in the Red Country but that is in fact the state of affairs

Keep that in mind when you feel the urge to indulge the endless whining about β€œsecuring the border” to satisfy some potbellied Iowan hick

Decades of restrictive housing policies by liberal cities and states are finally coming back to bite us in a major way.

If we can't create the conditions for a massive blue state housing construction boom as soon as possible, we're cooked.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call β€œsymbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Sometimes you just have to look a nice 78yo left-liberal white lady in the eye at the Hanukkah party and say β€œno, there is no upper limit to how many people can live in the Bay Area; and I believe that we are morally called to welcome the stranger, which means being ok with neighborhood change.”

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

Hochul Approval/Favorability Ratings Down a Little; Maintains Huge Lead Over Delgado Among Dems; Leads Stefanik by 20 Points, down from 25 in September – Siena Research Institute

New polling in New York State shows that 60% of the population supports increasing taxes on the top 5% of income earners.

New Yorkers are also in favor of increasing taxes on large corporations based in the state, 60-30%.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

"Hunt: If he does run the city as a communist, are you going to have any regrets? 

Sliwa: Why should I have regrets? I trust people. People are going to make the choice. I'll live with the choice. I'd like them to choose me. But if perchance I lose on November 4th, I will improve, not move. I was born in this city. I was almost killed in this city. I'll die in this city. I'll be buried in this city."

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

It’s worth considering how an Andrew Cuomo mayoralty would objectively be a disaster and everybody knows itβ€”especially his backers. But they don’t give a shit about the day after, only thwarting the rise of any potential alternative. A striking demonstration of the nihilism of the political centre.
