Take their survey and ask for protected bike lanes, and that the project be extended to National Bl, to connect with existing bike lanes!

I am going to leave the Platner thing alone soon I swear, once I'm done being disappointed at people for whom "no literal Nazi tattoos" is a bridge too far, but I want to point out something is off here about his statements and I think this might be another lie. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The US military already has a policy that checks for extremist, racist and sexist tattoos, and Platner added that the Nazi connection never came up during security screenings, including when he joined the army national guard after his marine service and later for the state department when he worked as security detail for the US ambassador to Afghanistan.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

IHUFFPOSTI
"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

hot take: a big reason for the collective anxiety around free-threading is the result of decades of copium where we assured each other that it's good, actually, that #Python has a bad threading story, because threads are dAnGeRoUs and our feeble minds need protection

It’s given us all sorts of important knowledge about the health of Americans and they just ended it.

Big crowd here at Riverside City Council in support of a resolution supporting local enforcement of recent laws requiring law enforcement (including/especially ICE) to identify themselves. A lot of students speaking out. Continues to be crazy that a ~60% latino city has only 1 latine council member.

It’s even worse. It’s reversing 400 years of Anglo-American constitutional development going back to Charles I’s personal rule when he refused to consult Parliament over spending and governance. Trump and his GOP lackeys are undoing stuff the Founders saw as fundamental to our system.

We are living through the most consequential shift in the constitutional government of the United States in over a hundred and fifty years and nobody seems to have even noticed yet.

I now realize that for my entire adult life, I've had a very narrow conception of what "supporting and defending the Constitution" means. Standing on business when armed agents of the State are knocking on your door is way more important, by a country mile, than anything I did overseas

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.
