Someone bought a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville SSE in the best color combo ever, fully loaded, then drove it 2.3 miles a week & now it's for sale

One of the "peak old GM" products and proof we used to be a proper country

And yet progressive activists aren’t willing to have a conversation about reforming our broken tax code.

It’s not enough to say “we need to raise taxes on the rich.”

We need to fundamentally change our tax system. Some taxes should go up. Some taxes should go down. But no one is doing that work!

Robert Cruickshank @robertcruickshank.com · 3d

Trump 2.0 has really exposed how brittle and broken the West Coast states' tax systems are. WA, OR, and CA all have a 1% property tax cap. WA has a sales tax but no income tax; OR has an income tax but no sales tax. It is not possible to effectively resist Trump without fixing these tax systems.

The news has sent counties throughout California into a panic. The state is bracing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for permanent housing, which is the one thing experts agree on as the most effective way to solve homelessness. https://cal.news/4nBKuZI

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens

Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 4d

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.

"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Do you live in Seattle? Are you upset that a handful of wealthy business owners think they get to dictate the infrastructure of our city and make intersections more dangerous for all of us so they can drive to work easier? Here's a petition worth signing!

This was a national scandal the last time it happened in Portland. Will it even make the news tomorrow?

Masked federal agents dressed like they are deploying to Desert Storm abducted someone tonight in Portland after piling out of an unmarked van by the ICE office. This behavior by unidentifiable agents is not unprecedented in our city.
