Republican Sabotage Transit in Phoenix
YouTube video by HistorySock
youtu.be
My latest video:
Republicans have sabotaged transit in Maricopa County. From appointing transit board members who never show up to creating unreachable goals and sabotaging light rail through Prop 479, this is unacceptable. Also, Aliens. And a republican says school bus stops are entrapment.

Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

Republicans who pretend to be concerned about political violence when their culture of political violence splashes back on them need to be loudly shouted down and chased out of the public square.
BREAKING:
Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.
This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.
The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

It's so blatantly disingenuous. Because of course Mazzig isn't suggesting that the West Bank be given back to Jordan, he just wants an excuse to deny Palestinians civil and political rights in the country they actually live in.
Great example of what I was talking about, here is Hen Mazzig saying something he knows is untrue but that he thinks you'll believe.
In 1988 the Jordanians ceded its claims on East Jerusalem and the West Bank with the expectation that the Palestinians would soon receive their state.

There was somebody a few weeks or months ago saying the Iraq war was not about oil, despite the US saying they would confiscate all oil money.
It's nice that there will be no plausible deniability this time.

The truly wild thing is this isn’t even true, a shit-ton of their oil reserves on paper are heavy tar sands and every US oil company will take one look at that at $80/bbl and walk away because it isn’t close to economically viable.

I think Democrats should double down on trans rights now. It's obvious that most voters don't care about it so you might as well stick with your principles and goad Republicans into focusing on it at the expense of everything else so they're the ones who look like freaks.
