Well, that was rough, but I've learned a few things:
1) There is a movement in Wisconsin waiting to be tapped
2) If a campaign has an actual policy platform, lots of people will engage with it
3) 85% of the analyses you see from people who don't live here are total bullshit

Who is the "you" in "you can't build anything" supposed to be? Has the DSA been running NY and SF for the last 30 years? Did they write these codes? These are failures of the Democratic establishment. He's talking to himself. The left being referenced got here yesterday.

The fact that we have allowed these companies to functionally do whatever they want — putting this technology, built upon stolen materials, out into the world in this state, whatever the consequences — should disturb us at least as much as Trump as a phenomenon has.
Absolute morons, and traitors to class solidarity
We need a Secretary of Labor that’s pro-labor and will work hard on behalf of American workers. That’s why the Teamsters Union is supporting Lori Chavez-DeRemer to be confirmed as the next U.S. Labor Secretary.
Listen to Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien make the case why everyone should support the bipartisan, pro-worker movement to confirm Lori Chavez-Deremer as Labor Secretary.

A prisoner from Jabalia in northern Gaza, released in today’s captives exchange, arrived at the hospital in critical condition. He had been severely tortured, his body emaciated from starvation, and his tongue swollen. Palestinian prisoners continue to endure harsh conditions, with widespread reports of ongoing torture.

I'd argue Daniel Penny is more of a danger to society than Luigi Mangione
ALT Two Wall Street Journal headlines. One about a person of interest in the CEO death questioned the other about Daniel Penny being found not guilty.

Israeli media reporting that the IDF is declaring northern Gaza effectively ethnically cleansed, not event a hint of pretense now that its election day

Here's bodycam footage I obtained showing that Mayor Breed's teams stole a man's clothing during a homeless sweep and when he returned from work they refused to give it back even though it was sitting in a truck right next to him waiting to be trashed.
Today, I was with our encampment team in the TL, where they were helping people and cleaning up the area:
• Helped a DV victim into shelter
• Connected a disabled woman with a hotel room
• Placed an individual in an involuntary hold for care
• Connected someone with Journey Home
This is an example of the daily work they’re doing to take care of our city.

I would say that the only upshot of this is going to be that people will die on the street, but I kind of think that’s a feature, not a bug for the mayor and governor. there’s no morality there to appeal to

I'm sorry, I need to make a few points.
1. This is an awful tone to take, as a leader, when talking about government action to forcibly, sometimes violently, remove people from a place where they are seeking stability.
fuck. this one hurts, way too young

Best ELO album. Never underestimate the power of proving your dad wrong (Jeff Lynne wanted to convince his classically-trained father that pop music had range and depth too)
Never Forget Joe Lieberman's greatest moment. Truly earned the "Loserman" title. c-span.org/video/?c4670364/u…

“As applied to an individual who lacks another place to sleep, a local law banning sleeping in public at all times and in all places violates the 8th Amendment bc it effectively criminalizes the status of homelessness,” Pres Biden’s Justice Dept wrote in a filing with the court. – at San Francisco, CA
“The Biden admin has now made clear that it is a cruel and unusual punishment to jail homeless people who have no access to shelter. That is exactly what SF has been doing for years. You cannot arrest your way out of the housing crisis.” -Zal K. Shroff
