This is outright murder. The FIRST ACT of the Dem president in 2029 MUST be to indict Trump, Rubio, and Hegseth.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2d agoRemember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
Yeah. The Tacomas are coming for them some day though.
I’m still in full touch the stove mode. They’re going to learn the hard way and they richly deserve it.
Clearly a lot of opinions about this. I love the discussion. When I did my comment, i'll admit I was short sided of the history. When I compare the crap Nixon did to the every day nightmare of Trumpy, it is impossible to compare the two. I compared to watergate. Not the politics. Trump 1000% worse.
I wonder how much the decline in pensions caused housing policy to go haywire
Dan Seitz@dseitz.bsky.social · 2d agoOnce you understand that most older cohorts have a financialization of their home as their keystone retirement plan, if not their ENTIRE retirement plan, a lot snaps into place with current housing policy, and the coming disaster becomes even more serious.
TIL that Mohamed Atta was a professional urban planner, of the preservationist nimby persuasion, and that his graduate school thesis was about how high-rises ruin neighborhood character 😳.
![Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta that reads, “ At the Hamburg University of Technology, Atta studied under the guidance of the department chair, Dittmar Machule, who specialized in the Middle East. 19] Atta was averse to modern development. This included the construction of high-rise buildings in Cairo and other ancient cities in the region. He believed that the drab and impersonal apartment blocks, built in the 60s and 70s, ruined the beauty of old neighborhoods and robbed their people of privacy and dignity.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:42w75ppgdk7goly4ip7ebmrh/bafkreigusvnskzzu6o6c7ckveqfer7zdussf5vcsvt32h4jolv5hctzt2y)
I have nothing new to add really, just shocked we aren't building Open Streets all over our cities. This is still the only one for miles by me. (31st Ave in Astoria.) It's absurd.
Like, for Lucas’ many, many weird flaws or idiosyncrasies, the first six movies are clearly about fascism. How it happens, how people stop it. The Disney era didn’t even have to be about that - but it didn’t really decide to be about anything in particular, except about Star Wars.
Mad respect to the Bulwark The people who rooted for Iran 🇮🇷 both times
When we came back from Japan, I changed my phone clock to twenty-four hour time because I was hilariously bad at using it and I wanted to practice. It’s been over three months. Mostly, I’ve succeeded in never knowing what time it is.
that’s it, we’ve peaked. Call it a day, go start your weekends.
It’s crazy, I think I finally really understand that saying “politics is just war” -Clausewitz
The opposite – it was a debunked conspiracy theory back then and now has become received wisdom (it was always obviously true)
Do yourself a favor and bump this for Charlie today

What if instead of DOGE bros they’d given that power to @stephenjacobsmith.com
That is a pretty good explanation of Donald Trump’s cabinet, now that you mention it.
Yes, just as French haute cuisine restaurants emerged during the French Revolution and democratized access to fancy food by employing chefs who had been servants of nobles
