  • Even if this exact version gets passed into law, courts are going to kill the ban on venture capital buying homes or the rich assholes will just find a loophole, and the slashing of regulations and subsidies just mean for profit developers are going to get paid taxpayer money to build barely affordable shit boxes that will fall apart in a few years

    We need actual public housing and to tax the big investors out of existence

  • "Plan to close doors in front of smouldering crater where barn once stood under consideration"

  • Furthermore, Miguez’s campaign responded to the Guardian’s list of questions about the police report by providing a 24 February email sent by the accuser’s father to the state senator’s office, which had the sentence: “Everything my daughter has reported about you were lies and she is a liar and has a drug problem.”

    The email doesn’t elaborate on precisely how the author knows his daughter told lies, and he didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. But Miguez’s campaign said in a statement: “The woman’s father gave permission to share this email with you.”

    This is like the most abuser coded series of actions and statements short of actually assaulting someone I can imagine

  • I found folding chairs for $30 each just now without even trying, there is absolutely no justifying $1000 on a damn chair

  • OK, well that ain't Newsom. He may win the primary if we're unlucky but there's no way he's winning the general without turning out the whole Democratic party, and this transphobic nonsense he chose to engage in has made sure that won't happen.

    Fortunately, there's still plenty of time to rally around a different nominee

  • Green and Menefee will go to a runoff in May. Green swatted away questions about the age factor on Wednesday, declaring, "I am generational change."

    Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say when you find yourself paraphrasing mother fucking Emperor Palpatine it's time to stop being a senator

  • Eh, that's what they're trying to do, but that's always what groups like them have tried to do throughout history and it never really works for very long. We aren't reaching the end of anything, it's just the next stage of the game.

  • I really doubt this person is being genuine, I'm fairly certain I remember them complaining about progressives calling out moderate bullshit not too long ago, so unless a username got hijacked or something I think they're just stirring up shit

  • It will be done in a thorough and competent manner, like the Epstein file release(s) /s

  • I definitely think it would be a good fit for other comms but I also think it fits this one. The fact that a bunch of dipshit white supremacists in Texas trying to get laid actually does give a lot of insight into our politics is something that feels to me like it could have been a bit on a sketch comedy show in the 90s but here we are.

  • Not like they're putting a gun to Gavin's head and forcing him to repeatedly be a transphobic shithead (like, he has been this way for years in multiple interviews with multiple outlets now)

    If we don't want the left getting demotivated we should get leaders who don't attack us all the time

  • I think we know how an administration that employs Kristi Noem feels about dogs

  • Do you honestly believe we would be here right now if we hadn't let the Biden administration and moderate Dems bungle this issue? The only thing proposing that noxious piece of trash legislation did was allow the fascists to say "see? even the libs know migrants are a problem."

    This lesser evil canard completely misunderstands politics and racism, it doesn't work like an inoculation where doing a little racism keeps us from going full racist down the road, it works like heavy metal poisoning where the shit just builds up in our systems.

  • Agreed til the final paragraph, but that 2024 bill was authoritarian trash that never should have been proposed in the first place

  • If you needed a lawyer for some reason, would you refuse to hire a woman because you thought your jury might have misogynists on it?

  • Sounds pretty Presidential to me

  • Yeah, the Trump administration have always been fans of things that sounded better in the original German I guess

  • Yeah, only reason this is happening is because they would've run into legal problems trying to say this was a Governors Association dinner when their vice chair and about half their members objected
