Wealthy people will always have the nicest housing available.

If you fail to build new housing, you are forcing poor people to compete with wealthier people for that existing stock.

That is not working out for folks.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Watching a video from @nerd4cities.bsky.social where he roasted a city and then saw my home in the google maps fly-over view he used 😭

I don’t understand people who say that the midterm elections won’t be rigged. Of course the most corrupt president in history, who already tried overturning one election, is going to try some shenanigans. At a minimum we’re looking at gerrymandering and throwing out mail in votes or the like

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

They should all face primaries.

This should terrify all: the arrest, detention in whereabouts unknown, intent to strip of residency status & deport in violation of immigration law, apparently for the content of speech & exercise of the right of assembly & association, in flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment.

I’ve heard from some that they were unaware of today’s boycott, but I’m hoping this can be at least a first step and that we can get some momentum for a bigger boycott soon. Maybe we need some better physical advertising with flyers and such

It seems with some camera prices blowing up the last few years that you can only pick three of these:

-Great image quality
-Jacket pocketable
-Good ergonomics/controls
-Priced under $600

I really need to check out some micro four-thirds though

If I were president, my top priorities would be:

1. Sanctions against Israel and ending genocide in Gaza

2. Overturn Citizens United and eliminate corporate influence in politics.

3. Nationwide zoning and regulation reform, and incentives to build a housing surplus

The Democratic Party needs to get serious about fixing the housing supply crisis. It’s a shame how many democratic nimbys there are absolutely ruining this country
