I also felt that they were particularly kind to visitors, because for a long time, visitors didn’t come there. The reputation was that it was too dangerous.
So people are particularly warm and hospitable, at least in my experience.

For both, the idea that they are violent is a hold over from a time that they were in the 80s and 90s. Both cities have changed completely since then.

In a separate letter, a former employee described Pete Hegseth at a bar drunkenly chanting "Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!" while on an official tour.
The New Yorker acquired a whistleblower report on Pete Hegseth's tenure at Concerned Veterans for America, which describes him as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity—to the point of needing to be carried out of group events.

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house were racist comments about their Black son in law coming to visit for dinner. Little did they know his car was prepped and ready for his dinner for one.

The Republicans set their own agenda when they were out of power. They CRT'd themselves back into controlling Congress.
Their superpower is knowing how to control the conversation no matter what.
Democrats have to start doing that. Right now is the time to start. Reactive politics fail.

This and a significant portion of Biden voters didn't bother to show up. They sent a clear message she isn't the one. All the people talking about how she's institutional, complicit in Palestine and wasn't elected because there wasn't a primary. They got what they wanted, she's letting 'em have it.

I'm convinced that this is more or less projection; Moderates don't really hold any strong beliefs but instead take whatever position lets them be seen as 'normal', and so when other people have different positions, they assume that they're also taking these positions more or less just to fit in.
There's a strange idea among moderates that radicals take far left positions for the vibes, or to posture, or just because they're radical position. We take these stances because we want a livable planet, we want people to have good lives, and because in many cases they're winning positions.

She had no days off for 100+ days & I am sure she's managing her own disappointment. Give her a break.
I do find it insulting that Kamala Harris seems to have completely evaporated since the election. You asked us to put our faith in you and then you left us hanging out to dry in our darkest hour. Not what a real leader would do.

Yes, X is "bigger" than Bluesky. But only if what you are posting advances Musk's ideological agenda.
Other information is suppressed, no matter who you are.
Major breaking news from the NYT, with 55 MILLION FOLLOWERS, gets almost no engagement.

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.
