Jacob Loo Dawang@jacobdawang.com · 2d ago🧵 NEW POST: Edmonton’s $15M infill property tax dividend Matching permits to assessment data shows that small-scale infill from just 2024-26 will grow the tax base by $1.8B, and revenues by $15M. That's equivalent to a 0.7% property tax rate increase! #yegcc www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/pr...
Flight update: spent two hours on the tarmac, now leaving the plane. But it’s a cave??? There’s some weird looking sheep coming in too but it’s really hard to see.
This apparently happened underneath (and maybe because of of) a sign she had hung on her house that said: "National Guard Stop Being So Embarrassing."
Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · 2d ago"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."
Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

my friend whose life was ruined by killer cops got stabbed to death this morning. He was never the same after they killed his friend and swept it under the rug, it instantly shifted the trajectory of his life towards this. the violence this country inflicts on its poor is demonic

Used to harass us even after this whole thing went down. anyway this is all that remains of the public record of it

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 4d agoI first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 4d agoI really hate Elissa Slotkin's patronizing "my theory of the case is that what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not the other way around" shit. It's one of her canned lines that she uses in her eventual attempt to run for president.
If a technology *can* be abused, it *will* be abused. This goes doubly for those in positions of power. Technology policy can be difficult, but we should never lose sight of this fact.

It's too soon and things have been moving too fast for there to be any fundraising for the Spokane wildfire. But the Colville tribe is nearby and has already suffered wildfire damage this year. If you need to do something RIGHT NOW, this is a good choice

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

The questions are no longer about whether Talarico is ahead and can he win. The answers are clearly yes and yes. Even Fox News now has him over 50%. The question is whether Texas Republicans can successfully suppress enough votes to swing the election. They are taking active measures to do so now.

Part of treating blue states like we're occupied territory is denying us the protection of the military we pay for (protection we only need because of Trump's illegal war in Iran)
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 5d agoMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz responds to Trump: “DOGE took an axe to CISA and left the U.S. exposed to cyber attacks."
Really got to add the exclamation point here - in bypassing Congress and refusing to defend Minnesota, Trump is simultaneously disempowering their elected representatives while exposing them to enemies he made for them.
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
Trump stole grant money from Blue states because we didn't vote for him and his people admitted it in court documents. He vetoes disaster relief requests from blue states to punish us. He held back Covid relief to punish us. He's threatening to lock up our election officials. This is unacceptable.
