Unpopular opinion: boomers brought y’all womens’ rights, the environmental movement, Civil Rights, gay rights, urban gardens, organic agriculture, and bicycle commuting. Also: weed. So quite painting with an ageist broad brush. Boomers are not a monolith. It’s a class war not a generational war.

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

“Maxwell transcript shows uneasy mix of flattery and denials.”

Not just a random Fed. This is Trump attack dog Ed Martin, who is their “weaponization” head, who posed in front of her house in an act of doxxing and intimidation. He is investigating her and yet here he is lying to a neighbor about why he is lurking there.

Whazzup, Nashville? Think making our housing market even more investor-friendly will actually help the affordability crisis?

Nazi River Rampage! One boat. Sixteen tourists. A ten mile underground tunnel.

YIMBros are just as pompous, insufferably smug, logically fallacious and ill-informed here as they were when they hing out on Xitter. Dunning-Kruger…

YIMBY is all about One Weird Trick, confirmation bias (uncritically believing bs developer-lobby white-papers masquerading as research), and the Unseen Hand of the Market. Bike Bros are about “if we build it they will come” followed by “its not working because we gotta build MOAR”.

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.

Autoblocking anyone who cheers that the Cuban woman and her children were terrorized by ICE because “most Cubans voted for Trump, so fvck them”. You are not progressive, you are a shitweasel and a horrible human. I wonder if most of them are actually MAGA ops/chaos agents?

We are 10 years into the failed YIMBY project, and it’s clear that the for profit real estate industry is not coming to the rescue to deliver housing for the working class.

Disaster capitalism won’t deliver the housing we need. Social housing will.

Should we trust a housing policy “discussion” driven by a real estate attorney, an investment banker and a developer who moonlights as a self-styled “urban planner” who writes alt-weekly articles that cloak their radical pro-developer upzoning agenda in the a misapplication of civil rights history?

WILLIAMSON COUNTY PASTOR @pastor4justice Kevin Riggs on the @SenBrentTaylor @RepChrisTodd Republican bill attacking churches and charities for helping immigrants: “This bill is both improper and immoral.” (H/T @southernchristians.bsky.social )

So, it turns out that Ridellan doesn’t actually treat ADHD effectively. In fact, 40 years later, doctors still can’t even agree what it is, much less what causes it.

Yikes. This is shocking even by Trvmpworld standards.

For now I'm going to follow mostly Nashville accounts because the national noise on The Bad Place has drowned out my local politics feed.

Happy Easter. The descent of that other platform into sludge continues. Let’s see how many of my favorite accounts have migrated here.
