This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed.

He lives in a fantasy world and he's directing that our military be allowed to kill protesting civilians. There's really no other way to read this.
Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

SCOTUS: We stopped Affirmative Action to ban targeting based on race, but we allow legacy admissions, white Afrikaaner "refugees," targeting of Latinos, over-policing Black communities, & bans on Afghan refugees and South Korean workers—because its okay to target based on race to help white people.

I maintain that LA is the perfect ebike city, tons of 3-5 mile trips, some hills, good weather but heat is an issue, etc

The dent we can do on traffic & parking issues in LA by getting people to e-bike travel is huge. should be encouraging this on a mass scale

Sad to report that while COVID boosters are available at my local Vons pharmacy, Kaiser will not reimburse for them and isn't offering booster shots directly

Why is the rent so damn high in LA? Simple economics: the demand for housing is extremely high and our housing supply is extremely low.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

We can't talk about what's going on without talking about the deplorable state of law enforcement in this country and Democrats can't do that until they discard reflexive rhetoric like "Of course we have to respect the police." No we don't! Not when they act like this! And you should say it!

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

6 years ago I expressed a then-divisive opinion among housing advocates: that I was skeptical that ADUs made any meaningful impact on housing need, and that they were an easy distraction for politicians to support in place of more meaningful reform. I was right:

Experts are divided: is any new development in California's housing crisis welcome, or are certain types of housing more needed?
