you know what's weird? i think shorts are for children, but i also think skirts are fine for any person of any age

all drugs should be legalized, regulated, and taxed

i am willing to entertain a licensing scheme for some drugs

like, you want to use meth or heroin?

great, pass a test and you're good to go

just like driving a car

schedule 1 is not drug control, it is abdication of control

you want to leave drug manufacturing in the hands of the black market

weird

i went to college in south dakota, where straight men wear shorts year-round
they must be stopped

i am against shorts on straight adults too

my firmest belief is that shorts are for children

i don't think its expressed enough that we don't really have *a* government anymore. nationally policy is being directed and created by like roughly half a dozen factions (and maybe like 50 to 100 total individuals) on a totally incomprehensible and erratic basis

Friendly reminder that they would confiscate rifles when Cheney decided to visit some bases in Afghanistan because they were convinced a serviceman might try to take things into their own hands

The slow-growth coalition that has dominated big city politics for the past 50 years is losing its grip on power as an ascendant YIMBY movement demands new homes in the places people want to live.

The DoD’s commissaries, more than anything else, are the best example and, as the military often does show, through a twist of irony, they show that there are often strong verticals to the state taking a direct stake in orchestrating the supply and delivery of an important but low margin service.

Mamdani announces transition team:

All-female team led by Elana Leopold, a known Dem strategist; also Melanie Hartzog, who once led the NYC’s health and human services and budget offices; former dep mayor Maria Torres-Springer, and Lina Khan, the former FTC commissioner who campaigned with Mamdani

I thought she was Catholic?

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

Was just thinking about how much money politically engaged plutocrats have set on fire this year to achieve less than nothing

Zohran Mandani is the face and future of young Dems

Nick Fuentes is the face and future of young Republicans
