💯. And it’s on purpose. Know that this explains so much of American politics at any scale. Ppl want sweeps so they don’t have to see poor ppl & purposely ignore the lives destroyed. Ppl want to stop housing so they can preserve their 1 special tree & purposely ignore the environmental damage. To be
the thing about american voters is that they don't like when bad things happen on their tv and want the bad things to stop, but that doesn't in any way connect to larger causes

Here is the same thing but with every downzone area I can see circled. I count 37 total areas. Some are the neighborhood center shrinkage that we knew about, but others are... just entire corridors getting chopped

Super helpful. Especially disappointed to see further scaling back of density close to Pinehurst Station, around Haller Lake.
Here is a "lighten" effect animated GIF so it's easier to see all the individual block downzones en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_c...

ICE appears to be hitting the SGV (Alhambra area) and SFV (Sun Valley) this morning. Multiple sightings.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

I’m saying
There are entire textbooks for planners and engineers to reduce runoff quantity and improve quality.

Let the pros cook. Making a regional stormwater control plan for an infilling city is a dream project.

Meanwhile, these bozos don't know the difference between area and volume.

Here's the video he starts talking about the night raids towards the end, it's sickening

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

A reminder that the King County Prosecutor is up for reelection this year.
The King County Prosecutor's Office is currently doing an exceptionally exploitative presentation about sex trafficking to the Seattle City Council that includes slides of identifiable bloodied, brutalized women and identifiable women who are nude or nearly nude.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

My little bit of crafting joy: made an iOS Shortcuts script that sets as wallpaper this particular Pacific Northwest and ocean view, from the latest NOAA geostationary satellite image.

Now I have it automated to run throughout the day and can look at real satellite imagery on my lock screen.

Rivera keeps saying they're only talking about specific kinds of nonconsensual sex work, but the prosecutors have made it very clear that they consider all sex work nonconsensual.

Every single time I try to adjust my priors and give 'AI' the benefit of the doubt, something else happens which shows everyone who is pushing this is doing so with reckless disregard for the potential harms or fully cognizant of what they're breaking.

MAGA will always be escalating.

A political party tries to court your vote.
An authoritarian regime tries to keep you from voting and sow chaos and spread violence to seize control over elections.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Minneapolis you are an inspiration
I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.

The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.

People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.
