They omit that the proposed tax rate on second homes of non-NYC residents worth $5m is .5%, or about $25,000. Essentially a pittance for them. From the tenor of the article you would think people are lining up with pitchforks outside their homes. Fuck the Times.

Do you not understand the purpose of your vote in a primary?
One of the biggest lies in American culture is that the wealthy got wealthy by making morally good choices (ie working hard) and the poor got poor by making morally bad choices (ie being lazy and irresponsible) and that they both deserve what they got.
I usually try to explain it like this: picture Curtis Yarvin as Phoebe Bridgers. Now imagine they're Hungarian. Doesn't look so much like the Challenger disaster was caused by adult Bluey fans virtue signaling now, does it?
without commenting on any of the new allegations about either platner or mills, i just have to say: schumer recruiting mills (and mills accepting!) was an enormous own goal for the institutional democratic party
when the margins in the senate are this tight this kind of fuckup is discrediting
Respectfully, he has to do more to convince me he isn’t lying — his character deficiencies make the leap of faith very, very difficult.
I cannot wait until May 15.

Life long Knicks fan who cannot root for the Knicks until Dolan is cold and six feet under. All my homies hate James Dolan. Fuck James Dolan.
I know people bristle at the idea of leftists who police language but a big reason it happens is because, especially as it relates to politicians, the language we choose serves as an entirely accurate predictor of the types of policy decisions we would make & who we would & wouldn’t place value on
my youtube carousel is 60% "emergency meal plans" and "how to live out of a storage unit" despite me not searching for and not watching that content
Emeshyon Wilkins mattered
Police said he pointed a gun at them. Body cam footage shows police shooting him in the back of the head as he ran away from them

People willing calling people by their chosen names of Clavicular or Sneako but complain about trans people pronouns. Get fucked
It’s so naive to think Collins doesn’t have 3 more scandals locked and loaded for after he wins the primary. He’s such a liability.
ICE agent tells the New York Times they were nervous showing up in Minneapolis and how they travelled with “girly suitcases” to not be detected.
A Senior ICE official details how officers would block in and kidnap United State Citizens.

Wasn't on my radar. I'll check it out!
He really churns them out, which I respect. He knows what people want from him and is happy to provide.
I’ve really enjoyed Ann Leckie’s work, and NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth series is some of my favorite contemporary SF.
Haven't read any Weir. Tchaikovsky spins a great tale, and I generally find his work enjoyable, but his prose is meh.
You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar
if you wanna see wild deep state shit, just watch and try to wrap your head around the list of democrats who vote this month to let tulsi gabbard and kash patel use wiretaps without a warrant
Motte and Bailey. No one in this thread is talking about homeless vs unhoused other than you. We are taking about an abusive man using degrading language repeatedly to demean people, then not take responsibility, and insist that he has changed and grown and deserves forgiveness.
Bi-weekly revelations like this:

It’s not a slip up, lol. It’s a pattern. You can’t hand wave this away in light of his (undisputed!) history.
For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.
Workers I spoke to are pissed.
Graham Platner casually using the r-slur in an on the record interview.
I think people are struggling to understand why things like this aren’t disqualifying and completely undercut his story of personal growth.
Keep going, buddy!
JD Vance went to Hungary to stump for a guy who thinks Vance's own marriage is wrong.
I hope he's feeling humiliated today. But I doubt it.

Typical Platner defender, everyone!
You stopped making sense a long time ago. Defending people who use ableist slurs sure must make you feel righteous. Enjoy.
