This often “heartbroken” lady seems weirdly over-invested in the city council’s business

Really embarrassed that this is one of my reps on City Council. Dan needs to either represent his actual constituents or resign.

About one minute later, at roughly 11:32 am, Councilor Dan Ryan asked Morillo a clarifying question about whether people would be using the algorithmic price fixing software she was trying to ban if they owned 20 units or fewer. Morillo responded, and Ryan continued with his public statement at the meeting.

tbh I think the Mercury buried the lede, which is that an Oregonian comments section troll / real estate developer appears to be using Councilor Dan Ryan as a mouthpiece

Of course it’s Dan Ryan taking this clown’s counsel. Of course it is.

Amazing to learn that Isaac Chotiner can apparently just come for you in your replies. Like suddenly realizing you're swimming in open ocean

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Extremely satisfying and fact-filled takedown.

Bari Weiss Signs Huge Deal To Usher CBS News Into Its Vichy Era | Defector On Monday, newly appointed Paramount CEO David Ellison announced that his company had acquired the Free Press, the smirking blood-and-soil blog founded and run by former New York Times hall monitor…

How could the Free Press be worth a reported $150 million, and why is its oafish founder about to oversee a huge press operation? Respectively: It isn't, and she shouldn't. defector.com/bari-weiss-s...

(seeing the president wandering around on the roof while the economy adds 3 jobs per month amid weekly pedophilia revelations) time to sign a billion dollar settlement with this man

If you don’t do anything else today please read this entire post of Mikel Jollett, and then, this 4th of July weekend, recommit to resistance!

She’s unrecognizable even from her former heavily enhanced self

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

There are actually some good uses for "AI."

No there aren't shut the fuck up.

Should you be concerned about a sharp rise of COVID virus in our wastewater? What Cleveland health officials are saying The data provides an early warning system and encourages preventative steps ahead of time.

Really need to stop with the “Should we be concerned?” and only the immunocompromised, vulnerable, & elderly are at risk re: COVID. We are all at risk & vulnerable! Be concerned! And please wear a well-fitting respirator & protect yourself & others.

Every day that we continue allowing ourselves to be restrained by systems that have been completely corrupted and perverted and to look to elections that may or may not happen and may or may not be free or fair, we lose precious time to organize and do what must be done.

Stop waiting.

Authoritarians and their benefactors the wealth class use our systems against us. Liberal democracy becomes a weapon, a cudgel, a cage that gets increasingly smaller and smaller and more and more cruel.

The social contract is broken. Continuing to cling to it is a surefire route to disaster.

The Supreme Court is illegitimate.

Not just because it is stolen, and it is, and not because it is corrupt, and it is, but because it is wrong and it does not represent the interests of the people.

We have to get comfortable with unchaining ourselves from tradition, norms, and decorum.

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

I’ve masked in public indoor spaces for five years and not been sick a single day. Guess that makes me an idiot 🤷🏻‍♀️

You: masks are good and I could have saved myself from being sick by wearing one. But I’m glad I didn’t wear one and I’m glad my students don’t wear them.
Umm okay … sounds super logical. Get well soon.

The road to hell is paved with maintaining decorum.

Thanks! They’re 12” x 12”

I think a lot of quilters keep their QC submissions under wraps so it’s a chance to finally show them off plus the QC reject hashtag on IG is so 🔥
