Housing is genocide sign seen at a NIMBY protest today against a mixed income high rise.
The new homes are less than a few blocks to a trolley stop.
And the neighborhood is majority white and middle to upper income.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

A question I’d like to answer is how our municipal institutions find these 24-28 year olds who all believe that “new development is creating gentrification” are the only people they talk to +60 year old home owners?
Like how are people in their 20s renting not a major consideration group?

The full time job of the modal person with the title of "city planner" in the US is to be a steward of segregation.

much of the work on AI-generated misinformation focuses on regular users/communities, while ignoring how political and economic elites can seal themselves into a hermetic slop box -- a repeat of the same mistake we made with radicalization and conspiracism in the previous decade
oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

I think the crazy thing here is to continue to elevate oltmann—this just gives him more listeners and a broader audience.
Maybe he incites violence but he’s been talking like this since at least 2021 and it’s never really lead to anything—as far as I can tell this is about boosting subs

Oltmann: “I think violence is the probably the only solution at this point… I think it’s going to take someone doing something very drastic or a group of people doing something drastic… So maybe we do that. Maybe we have 50k people that show up… and shake the walls around Polis”

One of my last interactions on the old site was having a ghoul named “Forest Mama” spew racist rightwing hate in mentions for posting “I love Denver, it’s a great city.”
I subsequently got 500 replies all of which were some version of a burnout divorced dad telling me Denver was a “shit hole”

SLOMW is both low brow drama and a genuine portrait of a bunch of women who have found massive financial success clashing with a patriarchal power structure and culture they’ve been a part of almost their entire lives.

I bet if you asked most of these people would describe “socialism” as what we have right now but “more like Europe”.
And when pressed further it’d be like “America but with NHS, affordable and available childcare and rent control”.
And not “a centralized planned economy of the proletariat”
