One of the most important model city-building projects in the world. “Initially, everyone thought it would cause gridlock. But people adapted. Now we can’t imagine the highway ever being here.” The fantastic people-place that replaced an elevated highway, transforming a city & improving traffic.

Just sitting here thinking about those “price of eggs” Trump voters who are gonna get a multimillionaire Treasury Secretary who supports giving even more tax cuts to the super rich but does not support increasing the federal minimum wage. Great job. Bravo. You fucking idiots.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

The capitulation is complete. Jodi Ernst signals her support of Pete Hegseth, an alleged sexual predator. Ernst, a veteran and a survivor of sexual assault, has no principles. She's chosen to risk our national security by installing an unqualified hack to preserve her power.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Sen. Reed confronts Hegseth after he claims 'DEI' doesn't put 'meritocracy first': "All of your public comments don't talk meritocracy. They talk about liberal democratic efforts destroying the military ... That's a political view. Your goal, as I see it emerging, is to politicize the military."

U.S. California Republicans in Congress fled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida as Los Angeles continued to burn. They attended parties with Trump while people tried to save their homes. This is what rule under oligarchy looks like. #LAfires

My frustration is with people who will be taken seriously by many of their fans, going on a podcast with millions of listeners, and spewing unproven BS that could sway people away from best practices in the medical world.

P.S. regarding the thought, “Yeah…but they have nothing left to lose. They already know they’re dying” I would say, yes…that point carries some validity for that particular individual. On a larger scale, however, it would no doubt cost the lives of people who might have otherwise..1/2
