It’s funny that @hiappleseed.bsky.social just posts about transportation policy here and not about how their housing guys are:
1. Want to ban county affordable housing programs in Hawaii
2. Pushing bills that fund down payments for remote workers from Palantir, Amazon etc
If you want a weekend read, consider LIMBY's latest. Did a recent UH Paper show that luxury housing resulted in affordable housing or did they play fast and loose?
using a double hyphen since I refuse to give up on the em-dash but also don't want the editor to think I use LLM's to write and I know the editor will correct it before publication.
NEW: This week, Senior Fellow Tom Moore explained how Minnesotans can make Citizens United irrelevant and get dark money out of politics.
In this "pax hebraica," which is neither peace nor justice, a ceasefire is merely the continuation of war in another form, and every opportunity is used to increase Israel's control of territories, for its own benefit, with complete impunity and with the active support of Washington.
The center-right Le Monde editorial board this morning:
You see, the problem with the mechanical "crimes versus not crimes" framework is that it doesn't recognize that when WE use force it's a "humanitarian intervention."
This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.
Must-read reporting by ProPublica.
The war on Iran is yet another reminder that the world will never be safe until the United States accepts and abides by international law.
Analysis of Trump's criminal war by George Scialabba:
Mahmoud Sabri
Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.
Even the GOP is saying “the media is sanewashing us. We meant the terrible thing”
3. Trying to erode the home rule that Prince Kuhio fought so hard to establish
4. Pushing to allow investors to buy taxpayer funded affordable housing
Prolly cause it’s all part of the full alignment with Koch brother funded “Grassroot” Institute on Housing. Massive whiff from these guys.

Brah they do not read bills. They just vote as told.
Let the legislature know they’re nuts!
The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit
I love how “Mideast war intensifies” is somehow biased. These guys really are wanna be dictators.
The Military:
poisons our aquifer
refuses to engage with community
tries to steal ceded lands
decides they can just bomb a bird sanctuary cause fu
causes lead poisoning in Ewa
The Hawaii Legislature: “god we really should do something about this….maybe we need a PR campaign for the military”
The state wants to use tax payer money to run a multimillion dollar ad campaign for the US military…the US military. The guys who just spent $93 billion on lobster and steak and grand pianos.
Tell the leg we have actual needs. Testify no on SB3240.

Another gem. cannot get enough of the kind of remixing of classic Hawaiian music into more modern forms.

Celebrate by getting some actually good fried chicken at Itchy Butt and reading with your kids in the park….not with this dogfood.
NEWS: Trump officials are floating a supplemental spending bill for the Iran War - while Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon just spent $6.9 million on lobster in a single month, $1,844 on an office chair, $26,000 on “sushi preparation tables” & $98,329 on a grand piano.

lmao. It’s so uncomfortable to watch Barron these days. Seems like he has despaired of getting a red cap so he’s put on a red hat
We need more music like this. Iterate on our roots. Dont just sell out.

Promises "some of my favourite creators", but God isn't even on the list. Shocking.
Highly recommend this thread describing real-world experience by teacher and students authorized to observe immigration court. Spoiler alert—It’s a disturbing report.
To anyone who says, "They should just do it the right way": this is the space that many "do it the right way folks" are experiencing.
Federal officials designed court structures to make immigrants fail, to leave them in terror.
This setup is not only unjust--it is anti-justice.
Deflation is a hell of a thing.
