#Grateful. 2 min walk from my condo, almost paradise! Toronto!

#SocialPrescribing. Walking in nature, the 4 seasons, with family, friends, others.
Toronto's winter? Mostly mental, just 123 cm of snow over 5 months, nothing!)
Winter is a small price for magnificent fall & spring.

By proceeding to not pay federal taxes before seeking approval from the IRS, I am forcing the issue in a strategy called “stake-driving”
By proceeding with the demolition of the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom, President Donald Trump forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."
How Trump Demolished the White House East Wing
By putting the demolition of the East Wing before the necessary approvals for his ballroom, President Donald Trump borrowed a tactic known as “stake-driving” to force an outcome.

one thing you’ll notice if you read the Free Press is that whenever Trump does something flagrantly illegal they bury their coverage in these just-asking-questions “is it legal?” pieces

If Mike Johnson is content to (and empowered to) keep the house recessed indefinitely and Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about reopening the government, it’s difficult to see how this ends. At this point even the senate ending the filibuster doesn’t seem in the cards, or enough.

I tend to think of affordable housing as less a category to be built and more a target to obtain as in, "build so much market rate housing that the market rate is broadly affordable."

That can and should involve a lot of government financing and public housing projects.
Motherfucker we have a market economy. Somebody going to make profit building shit. That's how it works. That's why they do it.
"no one should make a profit building necessary housing" is one of those things that sounds based and radical... for like half a second, before you finish thinking it through
Aha! We were by there a couple of months ago, but not when we needed lunch so just peered in the window - will go next time we're in town. I see the artful application of mustard is part of the experience.

Genuinely hope hundreds of people are asking for refunds.
If you donated to Platner via ActBlue, you can get a refund!

Contact them NOW and ask for your money back!
I donated to his campaign. I was pissed off when it was revealed he worked as a merc, and debating what to do when the tattoo & queerphobic posts came out.

I contacted ActBlue, asked for it to be returned, got an acknowledgement of the return a few hours later; 2 days later it was in my account.

This ICE removal operated by Omni Air International is now making its second stop, in Sri Lanka. So far, migrants onboard have spent 34 hours in handcuffs, leg irons and a waist chain. There may be more stops.

Omni and its parent company were purchased in April by private equity firm Stonepeak.
