WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Portland protestor frog costume: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge pepper balls?

Morpheus from Matrix movie: No, Frog. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

"The energy of people opposing immigration enforcement downtown stands in contrast to the relative inaction by city officials, including Mayor Daniel Lurie [who] has mostly remained quiet on Trump’s orders for mass deportation."

I just can't get over the differences in scale between Ballard Link's Westlake Station as proposed and the original Westlake Station, off to the left.

Ballard Link's Westlake has two separate entrances underneath separate buildings, with one showing a long tunnel to get to the train guideway. They are at least five stories deeper than the original Westlake, which is tiny and only around 10-15% of the size

is bridge crossings just busses that cross the bay bridge or is it GGT/other transbay trips

Bay Area transit riders have fully returned to the system since 2024 with more unique riders than in 2019 🎉

Each rider though is taking fewer trips/month than in 2019, so the next stage of the recovery requires retooling transit to better service more types of trips

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

If the regime does go after DSA, the appropriate response will be for as many people as possible to become dues-paying members.

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 13h

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Note how the SF Standard adopts conservative slogan/framing, rebranding supportive housing as “drug-tolerant housing.” The same could be said of any apartment building, condo complex, or single family home, but the term will only be used to describe the housing low-income people occupy.

SF Standard headline:
Officials want to halt city funds for 'drug-tolerant' housing
