Since we’re talking about this, the US has been majority urban since the 1920s. A solid century now. We have excellent data that shows how detrimental, how fatal (especially for children!), how economically unsustainable rural living is, and how much more productive and functional cities are.

at this point i am relieved, if anything, that "the police" have not been deployed to "fight ICE" because they will simply start maiming and killing protestors, together

Hey @jeffwhitmire.bsky.social

How about a watch along of “You Might Be The Killer”?

Self-driving gets pushed back yet again. We're not going to solve car dependency with robots; we need to provide more alternatives to driving - and discourage avoidable car use - especially for the enormous number of short, single-occupant trips
Mercedes-Benz’s Drive Pilot system, available on the EQS EV and S-Class gas sedan, has been temporarily scrapped.

“We know another system will come with the next two [or] three years with much more customer benefit."

I’ve said this before, but he’s surrounded by reporters all of the time, and if these reports are true they are covering for him. It isn’t just gross, it’s symptomatic of all sorts of concerning states.
Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

That’s how he feels about the entire populace.
Asked afterward whether he regretted it, Sabula said:

“I have no regrets whatsoever.”

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

Yes, exactly.
Every over-the-top statement from Miller, Homan, etc. should be heard as "this was supposed to be easy, I imagined everyone cowing in fear, it's very frustrating that they're not."
Minnesota protestors aren't just helping their community, they're bogging down the regime, protecting other cities too.
Yes, I think statements from Miller and Homan are frustration that they've been dragged into a massive mess that's slowed the entire process way down and bogged down far too many resources.

But the Trump rule of never backing down prevents them from changing course.

Just a reminder that 62% of Americans agree with Greenland's PM.

Less than one and five back Trump and Vance's madness.

Some conditions requiring abortion to save life of mother: infection, pre-eclampsia, organ failure, placental issues, hemorrhaging, genetic or structural abnormalities. If you don't have the training or research abilities, leave healthcare to professionals!

Sweet living fuck. Complete monsters.
That first photo is a gut punch. A bunch of heavily armed goons too scared to show their faces bullying a scared kid with the full force of the federal government behind them.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

I always assumed perfidy was just a synonym for evil. I do not enjoy learning new facts this way: by the government committing specifically perfidious acts.

“The agent was in fear for his life, so he followed his training.”

Which apparently, specifically, called for him to blow a lesbian’s face off.

Bovino is fearful and paranoid, so much so he had to go piddle rather than piss his pant.
My mother grew up in Birmingham, AL. Upon seeing this at her local Target, she said something that stopped me in my tracks:

“Not even Bull Connor did this kind of foolishness.”

It’s a pretty interesting moment when the ruling class starts to figure out what actually keeps the gears in our country turning:

The unpaid labor of organized gangs of women. (Frequently, but not exclusively Wine moms).
