Putting a ton of housing—including many affordable units—on top of a grocery store in a transit rich corridor is exactly what we should be doing and if NIMBYs hadn’t been so recalcitrant over the years they would have more bargaining power now but oh well www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

So you’re telling me that when your country welcomes talented people from around the globe, and brings them together in world-class universities, they make discoveries that save lives? Interesting.

Probably not even real. Dems always want to think R’s regret their votes. Pro tip: they don’t and will do that voting again, Charlie Brown.

I can not say how much my mental health has been held together this year by knowing so many people doing so much good work, people who are just trying to help each other.

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw
WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.
A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.

This table topped with coffee beans was in the green room at MSNBC for at least 15 years, back to when Morning Joe was sponsored by Starbucks. The beans were fuzzy in places and had lost their smell.

Today was MSNBC’s last day at 30 Rock, and I guess the beans aren’t making the move.

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state

Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline

He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

I'm gonna need folks to understand that just because the worst people in America are obsessed with GLP-1s exclusively because of weight loss does not mean they are not LIFE SAVING for a lot of people.
