That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
This should make everyone who doesn't want to live in a fascist oligarchy 10/10 made at @democrats.org. Don't give them another dollar. You can make a much bigger impact locally. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...
Author of Democrats’ 2024 Autopsy Says Party Left Out Key Chapter

"These young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality."
![“Years ago, I encouraged the WNBA leadership: what’s our stance? What are we going to do when this occurs? Are we going to be ready? Are we going to be reactionary? And so I think it would make sense for our league to be leaders in this space,” she said. ” … I’ve chosen to educate myself about the space. I’ve chosen to listen to transgender families, and what I know is exclusion is not the answer. We’ve got to find a common ground and be inclusive. That’s the space. I think if we all come from that.”
Reeve then pondered the real issues facing women’s sports and whether the people attempting to “defend” them even know what they are.
“The [transgender]issue isn’t as big as the issues that we have in women’s sports,” she continued. “Whether it’s cisgender men that have held us down for years in spaces like being able to have access to facilities and uniforms and locker rooms, all the things that these young girls that are sitting at games with anti-trans signs, do they understand actually what the real problems are and how they’re being marginalized? We’re still not in a space where we have equality. We don’t even have the Equal Rights Amendment in all 50 states, right? So there’s real issues. This is an issue that I think that we can thoughtfully work through, and that’s my hope."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ljtaqjfy2qlxv2u5sb6njbhr/bafkreict6exctik6d3kjui5h7qjmkk4v465o7sv5twonjaw5rzudxfbv4i)

If you live or work in NJ I would encourage you to call your scared and/or incompetent state reps. My state senator, Renee Burgess is currently pursuing a vanity license plate bill before asking Senate President Scutari to fix this bad bill. P.S. if they're this scared, they need a new job.
peter k@peterskim.org · 5d agoUntil they fix this stupid law, if you’re not an NJ resident, I would think twice about going to NJ with an ebike, whether it’s for transportation or recreational. If you don’t have a drivers license for whatever reason, you cannot legally ride an ebike in New Jersey! 🤬
Cathy Englebert is 💯 the wrong person to be dealing with this shitshow. It might be time to dig David Stern up so he can tell these people to fuck off and rig a few games for fun.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 6d agoOh, so those girls at the Seattle Storm game were being obnoxious the entire time trying to provoke people and filming the reactions for content. Of course.
I am begging wealthy people affected by various new taxes to continue posting about the specific ways they are affected by them. Get really detailed about it too. Trust me it’s going to win lots of people over to your side

This is one of the best things I've read in a while about the psychology of car supremacy, and how those of us who even *question* it are viewed as heretics. Thanks to @pflax1.bsky.social for sending this my way.

Good on Kyle Shanahan to correct the record of his crash to spare the 21 year-old driver a world of pain. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/... But it sure sounds like the police were trying to cover this up and I do not understand why police lying on reports is not a more serious offense.

The thing I like about Troy Jackson is that his campaign is about how Susan Collins is bad because she’s a Republican and not about how Democrats are bad. Real improvement over Platner.
This Aidy Bryant impersonator owes her an apology and it's impossible to believe that @democrats.org could possibly think this person and her 90 year old friend can win what's essentially a popularity contest in the year 2026. How are they still doing this.

That the Democrats can't figure out how to fire this loser is on brand with not releasing the 2024 autopsy and that Chuck Schumer also has a job. The DNC can't only be a tool to stifle challengers the maintain the consultant class status quo. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...

As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.
