I am so tired of seeing comments to sue DHS or ICE or the regime. We are not in normal times, this is authoritarianism, you don't get justice under a dictator
Not sure who needs to hear this? But you can’t sue a dictator away

It's crazy how we in North America have made a necessary tool, elevators, so fricken expensive because we refuse to align with international standards
The United States has the fewest elevators in the rich world, with Canada only a bit ahead. We teamed up with @uytaelee.bsky.social of About Here Videos to investigate why, exactly, North America sucks at elevators.

And this is what fascism looks like. It was never going to be a violent, hostile takeover in the US. It was just about time, pressure testing our constitution, and bullying the media to "fall in line".
Welcome to Fascist USA!
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

Exactly! A bunch of childish men LARPing WW3 🤦
My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

The words of a #tyrant and #dictator. The #US intends to invade the Americas, all other countries should be on high alert! All in this government are complicit, Dems and Repubs, there is no difference
US President Donald Trump threatens to invade and attack other countries: “We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us." #VenezuelaInvasion

It’s important to contextualize just how much less safe American drivers are than everywhere else in the world, and it’s getting worse!

Imagine that, lower the number of cars in the city and your air is cleaner! We need more of this in all cities! We deserve to breathe clean air!
Congestion pricing is working so well it has helped clear the air in all parts of NYC, according to a new study.

So, if you had doubts about the US being a #fascist state, I hope this clarifies some things on how this Trump regime wants to play in the world
The United States and Russia have officially formed an alliance against Europe, Ukraine, and Canada.

Pit the people against each other by enabling a system that allows you to report others. First media that you don't like, next it will be neighbors they're suspicious of. Full blown #fascism on full display in the US

That many MAGAs helping for a normally safe red district tells you everything: the resistance is strong, and they’re worried. Tomorrow matters. Please vote. 💙

The Trump administration is clearly anxious about tomorrow’s special election in Tennessee’s 7th District. Their rally was essentially a gathering of the MAGA elite in Tennessee. Donors, state representatives, five members of Congress, the governor, and then-Speaker Mike Johnson all flew in.

I wasn't aware #international law specifically said the #US #military can kill unarmed people in "self defense", but aim no #lawyer
FOX: You said the follow up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors?

LEAVITT: The strike was conducted in self defense to protect Americans

Curious why a longer mortgage isn't the answer? Read last year's piece: “The 30-Year Mortgage Was Bad. The 40-Year Mortgage Will Be Even Worse.” buff.ly/wWm1C0K
The 30-Year Mortgage Was Bad. The 40-Year Mortgage Will Be Even Worse. | Strong Towns
The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates. Some people are celebrating the move as making housing more attainable, but it's really just reinforcing the housing trap. Need proof? Look no further…

Honestly the dumbest thing anyone could propose for Americans already struggling to find homes in a housing crisis, let alone buy one. It's turning home ownership to home bank renting 😡🫩
Last week, the Trump administration announced support for a 50-year mortgage.

Except, this won't make housing more attainable, more affordable, more stable.
