What is keeping the stock price up?

Scott, is this real? She effectively doxxed a student at UCSF where she was a professor?

Atrociously poor judgement.

Another thing, what exactly was Scott’s documented involvement in this thing? Other than Dr. Marya’s accusation?

In your hour if need, perhaps the Trans community’s darkest since AIDS, he has not flinched through death threats, bomb threats, absurd personal attacks, not one inch. Worth a moment’s consideration. TC 👋

wonderful humans on the planet. But they are moral leaders and symbols of our common humanity, not politicians.

BTW, Scott is one of the strongest allies the trans community has now Ms. Adorable Ears.

Cup your ears, stomp your feet, and tell me a story I don’t know about LBJ, FDR, or Valera or for that matter Gerry Adams.

I’ve had the good fortune to meet and know slightly the generation that passed Good Friday. Not a single angel in tge bunch.

Irish Religious Sisters are maybe the most

Everyone who eventually sits at the table where peace is made will have drawn blood at one time or another.

Sweetheart, Angels don’t make history. Nelson Mandela 100% knew, understood and practiced tribal politics. So did de Klerk, so does Marwan Barghouti, and so does Scott Wiener.

This is going to be one of the biggest real estate debt financing deals ever if it gets close to happening.

Thank you I did see that.

Any idea who the money is at this point?

Fachtna Fáthach @fachtnafathach.bsky.social · 4d

Are there any serious builders and developers mixed up in this?

If Sobrato and Irvine Company were doing this, I would take it more seriously.

No, it is how ordinary people perceive the world: anecdote and lived experience.

Perception IS Reality

You are not arguing with me, you need to win the allegiance of 10 million+ Ivans.

“My parents cannot get a green card after 20 years/get right with the law.”

“XYZ people made asylum claims and then disengaged from the process.”

“Democrats take is for granted.”

Get real.

Voters did that already. I ain’t saying a damn thing our party was not told tens of millions of times.

Fachtna Fáthach @fachtnafathach.bsky.social · 4d

No, its an attempt to narrow this discussion to the perceptions of people like us, rather than the general public. Its an argumentative tactic.

Fachtna Fáthach @fachtnafathach.bsky.social · 4d

This is not about a couple of over-educated nerds like us on the internet.

Get over yourself and ask why an essential Democratic constituency decided to punish the party.

Oh please

Fachtna Fáthach @fachtnafathach.bsky.social · 4d

afford to lose put us over a barrel.

The inability to of white liberals like us to deny reality that conflicts with our own values system is weakness NOT strength.

Fachtna Fáthach @fachtnafathach.bsky.social · 4d

I already have 👆the asylum/green card double standard was a big middle finger, Latino citizen voters (especially men, including many of my friends) did not buy it, and it exposed an incredible lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

Pal, there is nothing to say. A legacy constituency we cannot
