The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!!

The Framers foresaw this problem and figured legislators' ambition, self-preservation, and self-respect would drive them to act against a tyrant.
The Framers didn't expect a majority of Congress would be cowards and fools who cheered it like pigs celebrating the arrival of the butcher.

If you think that every single thing we’ve seen the Trump administration do has been completely predictable and you’re using your gift of second sight to yell at randos on Bluesky who also think it’s all bad, you’re just an asshole.

question, what specifically happens to prices in the 5 to 10 years it takes to actually create the manufacturing capacity needed to produce the goods in question?
My push for tariffs is based on the consensus that it’ll unleash domestic manufacturing — and my desire to create an economy that’s built *for* American workers.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

So even when a white person is clearly at fault, the real fault lies with people who aren't white.
Convenient! And really fucking racist!

J.D. Vance uses DEI to cover for a potentially white male pilot being at fault: "When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means, on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government, but on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there."
Hesgeth and Vance use the Washington D.C. airliner-helicopter crash to make anti-diversity, equity and inclusion points, suggesting it was to blame for the collision.
The Vice President didn't even open his remarks by referencing the victims or families - just straight into anti-DEI points.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out
FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

Yes and I’ll add: they’re acting like this because they believe they have exactly one shot, and that it will be gone forever if they lose this round. It’s our job to prove their fears are justified.

Among the worst features of how we talk about crime is the use of “criminal” to describe ppl who have not been convicted of crimes. Arresting criminals. Prosecuting criminals.
Criminals are not “found.” They are made, following processes are constitutionally due. No one is a criminal upon arrest.
