The "both sides are bad" crowd are annoying enough, but the "Republicans are more left then the Dems" people are downright wreckers. Like so called anti-imperialists cheering for Russia.

The south sierra is ok this year so oddly enough SoCal and the south San Joaquin will be least impacted but it’s really looking like curtains for the Colorado basin. Grim stuff.

Irish elevated to founding stock, it's like he's allergic to reading a history book
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

The underlying problem is that stopping the lawless authoritarianism is ultimately not a legal problem, & there are no actual legal solutions to it. It is a political problem, & the only solution is a political one requiring a majority of votes in the House & 67 votes in the Senate.
Our court system is largely working, with the exception of the most important court
Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

What I hear from people in housing in Boston is that you’ve moved very slowly on rezonings, and the permitting numbers do bear that out. Boston went from permitting way more housing than NYC under your predecessor to falling behind, even though we’ve both got the same interest rates.
