Another stupid hit piece regarding California high speed rail project which was started under a R Governor. This was followed by various R grifters suing to get monetary awards which delayed progress. They actually ignore a section of right away that is currently being used on a daily basis.

CAHSR is expensive, but its high price tag is largely a function of being a huge project. Per-mile costs compare favorably to other domestic transit projects - transit in the US costs 3x the global average to build!

Trump is once again proposing to destroy Alcatraz — a globally popular tourist attraction — by wasting billions to turn it into some sort of prison gulag. It’s an absurd, idiotic idea, a complete waste of taxpayer money, and yet another sign of Trump’s dementia. Back off.

There will never be a coalition between Marxists and Liberals. Any Marxist promises of alliance or compromise are only intended to disguise the blade they intend to drive into your back. It's entirely about removing obstacles to power, and Liberals are little more than just another obstacle for them

This is not a drill. Absent stable long-term funding, Caltrain, like BART, will crater & potentially shut down entirely. Muni will reduce service by as much as 50%. We can avoid this disaster for the Bay Area by passing two funding measures on the ballot in November: …

In a plan set to go before board members, staff conjured a future as bleak as the one BART presented last month, with stations potentially mothballed and stretches of track left empty.

Anyone who has supported Ukraine throughout the last 4 years already knows what Jacobin is. In the communities that raise money for Ukraine and support volunteers, that magazine and the people who write for it, are at this point seen as a part of the propaganda wing of the enemy forces.

I think the whole logic of the U.S. “checks and balances“ system would work a lot better if we had multiple parties. That way, if one of them gets an unhinged President into office, the Congress isn’t paralyzed enough by that party’s obstruction efforts to implode. The checks can actually balance.

Something a lot of people don't know is that the Soviet nuclear arsenal was built with nuclear material from the Czechoslovak gulag mine at Jachymov. Because Soviet mines produced nuclear material that was too low grade, and would have required a too expensive enrichment process to make the bomb.

It's always the same with commies who say "I am pro Ukraine now, forgive what I posted in 2022". You go to their profiles, and they constantly repost pro-Russian scum: Mark Ames, Aaron Mate or Ryan Grim. Do these people think everyone else is too stupid to notice what they are doing?

10 years ago, Brussels and the entire country stood still. 🇧🇪 This city showed resilience in the aftermath of attacks, and collective strength helps to heal its people. Today, we honour the victims and those who still carry the weight of that day. We will never forget. 🕯️
The image is a watercolour-style drawing of 35 lit candles with the colours of the Belgian flag in the background (black on the left, yellow in the middle, and red on the right). Below the candles, there is a phrase that reads ‘Remembering the Brussels attacks’ with a horizontal bar underneath in black, yellow, and red, representing the Belgian flag. In the bottom right corner, there is a logo of the European Union flag.

In the first 2 weeks of the Russian invasion, Russia sent the units of its notorious riot police militia OMON into Ukraine as part of the invasion force. They were intended to crack down on protests in occupied cities. Instead, they got slaughtered by the Ukrainian army. So... no.
