Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

One thing that’s interesting about this is that it shows that despite insisting the wokes overinterpet everything, conservatives are actually aware of and agree with their critics about how coded racist appeals work, they just like them bsky.app/profile/newr...

Black text on a white page that reads as follows: 

Too often, homeless New Yorkers cycle from our hospitals to our streets — making it harder to continue treatment and find long-term stability. 

The City's Bridge to Home program in Manhattan ends the cycle by providing a safe place for New Yorkers to live while they receive medical care, apply to jobs, and find an apartment. The program has been a massive success.

Today, we’re expanding Bridge to Home to Brooklyn and Queens, so more New Yorkers get the help they need.

A good barometer of character is if a person complains about taxes vs just shutting the fuck up about taxes. If the latter, they're fine and normal, if the former, they will likely embrace fascism.

I'll support AOC whatever she decides to do, but Democrats *need* a serious, unapologetic progressive to run in the presidential primary to pull the field to the left. Without one, we'll have Newsom, Buttigieg and Cory Booker trying to out-centrist each other and it will be a disaster.

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

I should add that in addition to being much funnier than anticipated--Musk is going to be intensely humiliated by this movie, it's going to attack the deepest wounds he tries so hard to conceal--it is also bone-chilling. I think he gutted USAID with DOGE to kill masses of people in the third world.

We don't talk enough about the illegal destruction of USAID and its immediate, and long-term, genocidal implications. Most media doesn't have on-the-ground reporting about what's going on, so we're mostly in the dark about the direct impacts.
