Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.

It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.

This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

Zohran Mamdani being sworn in a few hours after Trump gives up on militarizing cities cannot be overemphasized
starting the new year with:

—massive D overperformance in Iowa to hold a state senate seat
—Trump giving up on national guard in blue cities
—Mamdani sworn in

seems like a series of good omens, maybe.

A large outer city office building with zero parking?

Oslo just posted this planning proposal for review. It’s 16.000 sqm., 500 % FAR, 900 desks and will *reduce* traffic when built. It’s possible after Oslo abolished parking minimums a few years back.
