There are a lot of anti-car culture folks who put the cart before the horse and make broad generalizations about how simple it is to live without a car and just bike everywhere and, no.
As more serious advocates tend to acknowledge.
And worth noting also that there's a subset of Americans (namely folks with small kids and/or mobility issues) who end up really alienated by the glibness of bike/public transit folks, who might be more open to car alternatives if their needs were treated with more seriousness by those advocates.
Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership
I think you can worry about American Islamophobia without minimizing American antisemitism. People literally shoot up synagogues in this country, it’s not an imaginary problem or a matter of microaggressions against bourgeois knowledge workers, which is how I see fellow leftists describing it
Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.
These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.
Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc
“As stock market continues plummeting over tariffs trump spends his day at the golf course”
Trump waving
Me leaving in a cab from a party where I’ve just pissed and shat on the host’s new carpet.
Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”
Joe Gallina: If you could speak directly to Donald Trump, what would you tell him?
Gov. JB Pritzker: What does Vladimir Putin have on you?
This whole campaign is disgraceful. This administration which is riddled with actual antisemites is using antisemitism as a stalking horse for its campaign against all universities. A kind of elaborate and hideous gaslighting.
America’s money-in-politics crisis doesn’t just harm our own democracy. It threatens it abroad as well.
The plutocrats are out of control and they need to be brought to heel.
they look at russia — a stagnant backwater — with envy
BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.
Mass direct action.
The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.
Cool idea, maybe I can “exclude” my student loan debt from my debt-to-income ratio when I apply for a mortgage lmao
I don't comment on Ukraine much because I don't usually feel informed enough, but I'll say this: Zelensky is the kind of leader they build statues of that stay standing for three hundred years. Putin is the kind of leader who has statues of himself built that get torn down three years after he dies.
I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.
Thread. Therapists listen to people's fears.
Read a little bit more about this, and goddammit we're getting played you guys. The original link from the ASA is very dishonest. They are moving to the CMS standard for anesthesia billing. In other words, they are going to pay the same way they do for Medicare and Medicaid.
“gender identity disorders not resulting from physical impairments” is such weird wording.
I have butterflied and dry-brined a turkey for the first time and…that was not for the faint of heart
During the Gamergate days, I was a mildly successful Feminist Blogger™ and I was terrified of losing a job or whatever due to some sort of harassment campaign like that. Ten years later we’re somehow still dealing with this nonsense…
Sarah McBride could post a 24/7 stream of videos of all the random people calling for her death. Kamala Harris could have done it just with random people calling her the N word.
Doesn’t work for Dems because the media treats random ppl on TikTok like Dem operatives in a way they don’t for Reps.
reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments
if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything”
pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat
I'm just going to say this:
Actually examine the content that you consume on here. Is someone trying to keep you angry and isolated? Then you're a mark for them. And pretty soon you're gonna be sending them $20 a month for some resistance Patreon that simply tells you how mad you should be.
Ok so this has legit entered my mind a few times this past week. Did NOT need another excuse to drown my post-election sorrows in retail therapy 😂
Every time I bothered to open X for the past few months I’d immediately get served Trump ads. Love to not have those here lol
👀 😂
If Gaetz withdraws or gets voted down, I hope Dems will turn to the question of why the GOP president tried to put a child sex trafficker in charge of federal law enforcement. I have very little confidence in Dem leadership, but that’s not the kind of thing Trump should be able to tiptoe away from.
