People just do not understand how much the WPA changed this country. So much of our now disintegrating infrastructure was built then. So many of the roads and bridges here were made under it. But oh we can't do that now, Elon needs more AI-generated CSAM.

I *so* want to see discovery.
"Patel would be luckiest if The Atlantic succeeds at getting this thing dismissed right away — no, really. Because if this case goes forward, he’s stuck with discovery."
Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.
“We have lost so many exceptional scientists and other employees of HHS…the just decades of institutional knowledge that we have lost is absolutely devastating”.
This was my comment about RFK Jr. saying that HHS is now hiring thousands of people after firing thousands of brilliant scientists.
Landlords threatening to call ICE on immigrant tenants is despicable behavior – and it’s also illegal tenant harassment under New York law.
So I’m glad that the City Council is taking action by extending & expanding on the “Certification of No Harassment” pilot program I won back in 2017. (1/2)
HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
Trump is robbing you to enrich himself and his friends.

Look, the political situation is bad but I love my life. I have a wonderful loving partner, a great career, great friends, and amazing family.
It all starts with accepting yourself for who you are and finding joy.
Screenshot of a social media post by Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) that reads: "One of my biggest hopes for the future is that we can come up with some sort of test in utero to determine if a child is going to grow up to be transsexual, and then opt them out of the gene pool. It's, I can tell you firsthand, it's a horrific way to grow up, one that no ethical person should want to inflict on a child. The reason the trans community is so unstable online is the developmental damage that we invariably get. It's like a house being built where every floor is leaning, and by the time you get to the top, the entire structure is unstable. Repairing that damage has taken me a lifetime."
Brianna Wu advocates for the extermination of trans people by engaging in eugenicist selective abortions of fetuses determined to be trans.
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.
ill loan them the money but they gotta promise to use it to buy things from me and they have to start paying for the things now and i’ll give them the money later and the things much later
Expanding and rebalancing the Supreme Court was proportionate a *decade* ago. It has long since stopped being merely 'proportionate' or 'intellectually and historically acceptable'; it is a prerequisite for stopping Republican fascism and building American democracy
a proportionate *and necessary* response, without which the current extremely illegitimate Republican Supreme Court will thwart other such responses.
YIKES!!! 🚨 Breaking news at Queens Park
FYI re: FOI
Ford just scheduled a late-night sitting to ram through a law that would permanently hide his phone records, while under RCMP investigation. The NDP are staying up all night to fight it.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Starbucks: Screw you, Seattle. All our unionizing woes will be over once we leave you for Tennessee.
Tennessee:
it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone
You know what's embarrassing? A province with 85,000 homeless people and counting. Try putting our tax dollars to better use.
He's doing himself no favours.
That's the point. It's always been the point.
If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood
"The report had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, which includes dozens of scientists, according to two of the three people who spoke to The Post."
I know it’s not possible and would spell economic disaster for countries like mine, but my lord the entire world should just stop trading with the USA entirely. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
This was an FOI request from advocay group Safe Parkside - exactly the kind of information Ford wants to hide.
