After the right-coalition cheered the 1/6 insurrection, paying a foreign authoritarian to cage deportees in a brutal and abusive prison system, blowing up boats with unarmed people on them in the name of stopping drugs, and wanton corruption, no one can take this seriously.

Yay we reduced housing supply by stopping all those luxury condo high-rises! Now the rich people are gonna *checks notes* outbid working class families for the more affordable units and exacerbate gentrification…
nyc: vote “no” on all ballot proposals
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Both the theory and […] empirical evidence supported the premise that increasing the supply of housing reduces sales prices and rents or moderates their growth and therefore makes housing more affordable to low- and moderate-income families.

Just dropping by the Trump rally to get the pulse of what's going on in the country....

We are the stage where the President is openly Islamophobic, makes sexual comments on stage, and everyone around him still cheers like he is God himself. sad stuff all around
Trump: And you know who else is really arrogant? The guy from Michigan. I've been watching him. I call him Mohammed. It’s Abdul Mohammed. I call him Mohammed, not knowing his middle name was Mohammed. I almost got it right, but I'd always call him Mohammed. He said, why does he keep calling me Mohammed? I said, you know why? Because I'm president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.

It's extremely weird that a member of Congress often hosts a political show on a news network. "But it's OAN!" OK, it's still not normal. People on the right would have an aneurysm (understandably) if AOC had a show on MSNOW. It's quite literally propaganda.

Apparently Netanyahu is trying to find 11,000 votes in Georgia and hopes Mike Pence does the right thing.
I can't express how disgusting this statement is, and how little Netanyahu gives a hoot about his own country.
הליכוד:
הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים.
מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד.
אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים.
אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות.
זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

Is growing squash the best use of publicly owned land in Manhattan 2 blocks from the subway?
This community garden having ZERO open hours after 2pm isn't great either.

What a weird post. If you've never heard about Cassavetes, it's because you don't know much about movies. Which is fine, but it's strange to act like it's some mystery.
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently?
I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire.
They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos.
I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?

There is an immense need for Democrats to *actually* govern; safe public transit, safe streets, build housing, focus on growing the city, prosecute crime, and not listen to the deadenders with mental illness

Guy whose mother-in-law is named Lakshmi Chilikuri pretending that Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan are too tough to pronounce.
Vance's "I'm just a good old boy"'s act grows more tiresome and less believable by the day.

Good man. God bless him and his family and friends. Infuriating.

It’s not uncommon for survivors of sexual violence to delay reporting.
There are many legitimate reasons why - one being fear they won’t be believed.
Because very often there’s no evidence. Just word vs word.
And they see what “Christians” like this say 👇🏻

has there been a proper reexamination among people who thought trump was the less hawkish option in 2024? it can't just be "we were lied to"...he almost started a war with iran the first time! nearly everyone who wanted a war with iran supported him!
Joe Rogan, quoted by Bloomberg.
“What Trump stood for, some of it turned out to not be real. Like one of them was the no wars. Well, look, we’re at war with Iran. So that wasn’t real.”

This is absolutely disgusting and understand that this is who Donald Trump has made allies with. It’s like ISIS with a bigger army, probably worse, actually. Attacking children, animals, rescuers, all of it. They have no place in a civilized world.
russian terrorists attacked with an FPV drone an animal shelter in Kramatorsk, causing a fire on the second floor of the building where many cats were located. After the firefighters arrived to put out the fire and help evacuate and collect the animals, a russian drone was waiting in the sky… after which it crashed into the fire truck as well.
Throughout the full-scale war, this shelter served as a refuge for stray animals and people with pets. The animals that were inside during the strike were carried outside, but some of them ran off into the surrounding area and got lost due to the explosion and shock.

Hard agree on this. At this point it's time for way harder penalties on DUIs. There really is no excuse.
