Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Remember Keith Porter Jr. in LA, too, killed by an off-duty ICE agent who lived in his building. #KeithPorterJr #ICEkilling 12310
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Fine, but just admit it and be up front about it. Own that the wealthy real estate and tech interests who fund you are in it for themselves, too. And stop pretending you're out to save the world with deregulation (or, ahem, "legalizing" housing). You're not a benevolent society. 300
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I could go on and on, but just remember this whenever you see @clarajeffery.bsky.social express enthusiasm for YIMBYism. It's about gentrification, not altruism. And the real Mother Jones would not be proud. 330
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 16/11/2025And what's up with the main image for the article? It doesn't make sense. YIMBYs constantly rail against single-family homes, yet, it looks like a giant Wiener is bringing a single-family home to... where I can't tell. Or is he removing it? And is that construction crane in Alamo Square park? 330
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 15/11/2025YIMBYs grossly oversimplify economics, as if supply and demand were the only factors, just as they do the nature of their crusade itself. It's them versus the NIMBYs, in a strictly bipolar world of good and abundance and prosperity versus evil. Such rhetorical framing suits their evangelism. 240
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 15/11/2025YIMBYs are oblivious, willfully or otherwise, to the simple fact that they relentlessly parrot the same Reaganomics/supply-side economics that exponentially accelerated income inequality over the last 50 years. Sorry, JFK, but a rising tide does not lift all boats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_... 850
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Now that the US is directly at war with Iran, I'm reminded of the Millennium Challenge war games... "Red... destroyed sixteen warships: one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of Blue's six amphibious ships... the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenn... 200
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Will the tanks ever leave DC after Trump's jingoistic birthday bash? Maybe, maybe not. He clearly likes the idea of troops in US cities (Los Angeles). He wanted them to shoot George Floyd protesters in the legs during his first term. Plus, never forget the J6 attack on the Capitol. 110

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Thank God. #BarbaraLee is pulling ahead of #LorenTaylor in the special election for Oakland mayor. She's over 50%, which means RCV doesn't even matter, but she's even further ahead there. alamedacountyca.gov/rovresults/2... 160

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 17/04/2025DOGE has installed Musk Starlink terminals at government buildings, for God knows what. To siphon data? To use AI to enable their schemes?

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Jeff Bezos and/or his sycophants at the @washingtonpost.com don't want us to see criticisms such as this. Editorial cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social resigned rather than submit. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui... 111
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Have you seen The Invitation? I feel like, as a society, we are living through a similar scenario. Everyone is being polite, afraid of offending anyone or breaking decorum, despite clear signs that we're in the presence of a dangerous cult about to run amok. 120

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 25/09/202323 million Americans believe violence is justified to return Trump to the White House. Maybe they all aren't willing to go down themselves on behalf of Dear Leader, but many millions of them just might be, and they've been stockpiling crazy amounts of weaponry. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/24/u... 100

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 11/09/2023First, it is definable by law. See screenshot. Second, no one is "choosing who gets free speech rights." The law requires social media companies that make over $100M/yr to report their own Terms of Service and metrics on their ToS enforcement. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTe... 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 09/09/2023Btw, the tank in tankie is state power squashing dissent. It's definitively anti-change. 020
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 08/09/2023Joe Biggs swears that Trump will pardon them all. He'll keep clicking his heels together three times and waiting, and waiting and waiting. One day he'll sprout those magical wings and feel the warm embrace of Trump. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a... 000
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 08/09/2023700 years Trump's followers will serve, or close to it. I still can't see Trump ever being sentenced to serious time, like years. If history is any guide, he'll get a plea deal like Spiro Agnew and disappear into the night. Maybe he'll abscond to the UAE. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 08/09/2023Sure, their lawyers argued they were scapegoats for Trump and one cried in court during sentencing, but that was just for show, to fool the court. They still believe in Trump, even tho he doesn't give a shit about them and could have pardoned them before leaving office. www.npr.org/2023/09/01/1... 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 02/09/2023The Florida red wave in 2022 was DeSantis and former-Republican Crist suppressing Democratic turnout in Florida by nearly a million votes, in a state that hasn't elected a Democratic governor since 1994. 160
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 28/08/2023Apparently, this is a thing he regularly does, blame racism and racist violence on those struggling for equal rights and justice, even calling rep Ayanna Pressley and author Ibram Kendi the "modern grand wizards of the modern KKK." No, fuckwad, the modern KKK is the just grandkids of the old KKK. 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 28/08/2023Fuck Vivek Ramaswamy and his exceptionally foul and dangerous anti-Black racism. Never heard of him until last week, but he and his fake-ass phosphorescent teeth can fuck off.

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 24/08/2023Reaganism/supply-side economics/market fundamentalism is so deeply ingrained in the American psyche, so normalized, that YIMBYs believe it's the natural order of things, and are unable to recognize their "supply and demand" mantra for what it is or to imagine any serious alternatives. 110
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 24/08/2023Hey, I was able to screenshot at least half of the deleted post, because someone quoted it and it still shows there. The second paragraph expressed surprise that otherwise intelligent people still believe in Reaganomics. This is the post that prompted Jamelle Bouie to tell me to fuck off. 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 24/08/2023He clearly knows the power of his influence, with 40k followers here and 400k on twitter, so he should really chill out on jumping to "fuck you" as his immediate response to a reply he didn't like. 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 24/08/2023Today I learned that if someone blocks you on Bluesky, your first reply to them is disappeared, never to be seen by anyone ever again. Kinda messed up, but, on the other hand, it stopped the YIMBY swarm from further attacking me. bsky.app/profile/jbouie.bsky.social… 110

Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 16/08/2023Zero tears for the guy who kicked off his political career in 1992 by inciting a racist cop riot, exploiting their anger over a plan to civilianize police oversight by New York City's first Black mayor. In short, fuck Rudy Giuliani. 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 15/08/2023Always the slippery snake, just today, Trump openly went after a Fulton County GJ witness. Who's going to hold him to account for that? It's outside of the jurisdiction of Chutkan. Is it an obstruction of justice window of opportunity before he's indicted in Georgia by Fani Willis this week? 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 14/08/2023Of course, Trump carries on attacking the judge, prosecutors, and others, pushing the envelope further than anyone else would be allowed to. He's taunting her to make him a bigger martyr in the eyes of the MAGA faithful. As much as she want to keep politics out of the courtroom, it's still there. 100
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 14/08/2023"Your client’s defense is supposed to happen in this courtroom, not on the internet." Within hours of the hearing, Chutkan issued a protective order limited to "sensitive" materials, for which Trump's lawyers are supposed to babysit him when he's viewing them. 120
Dave Id @daveid.bsky.social · 14/08/2023Not playing, Part 2: The Judge On Friday, federal judge Tanya Chutkan reminded Trump's attorneys that he's a defendant in the case, not a political candidate, and warned against any attempt to intimidate witnesses or prejudice potential jurors. "I see the possibility for a lot of problems here." 110
