Does anyone else find it completely hypocritical that the US is threatening to “intervene” in Iran if they shoot protesters, while they’re over here SHOOTING PROTESTERS??

So much to say about this. First of all, the cost estimates for adaptation in Marin are wrong. They only consider the costs of keeping tidal waters out- not the cost of coping with rising groundwater behind walls and levees, which is the real hidden flood problem

It’s one of the wealthiest parts of the Bay Area — but can Marin fix its $17 billion problem?
Marin County is one of the wealthiest parts of the Bay Area. But there is no easy way to conjure up the estimated $17 billion to address sea level rise and emergency flood threats.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

This administration absolutely despises children
The Trump administration reversed a Biden-era ban on antipersonnel land mines except on the Korean Peninsula.
The memo, signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, says the reversal would give the U.S. military a “force multiplier” against enemies.

The folk who think a right to housing solves anything are the same people who believe that we can use solve homelessness by relocating unhoused folk into homes that are being shown for sale.
“Right to housing” must hit so hard if you aren’t familiar with any aspect of housing policy at all. It must all feel so simple and easy. I’m honestly jealous of people that believe it’s as simple as pressing the “end homelessness” button. Imagine how hopeful you could feel.

This is intolerable behavior from law enforcement no matter who they are arresting.
