I wanna know the three percent of my neighbors that don’t find any of these to be key issues. I just wanna talk with them. I just wanna talk.
You think we can talk about ending the hostile military occupation of our cities yet or

#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Trump, GOP lawmakers and even some big-name Dems are once again calling for the repeal of Section 230, as if that would be some cure-all for misinfo on social media.

But as @jkosseff.bsky.social told @propublica.org in 2021, that's just not true. Read here:

Gamergate never ended, it’s just became the world we all have to live in.

Thanks, we all hate it.
The funny thing is, I thought the sudden wave of people telling me I need to die was about the white-on-white crime tweet, but it wasn’t.

It was just about me being a liberal woman who occasionally, as a freelancer, as a small part of my career, works for Blizzard

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
the entire media ecosystem is just not built or ready for events like this and far right billionaires like larry ellison buying news orgs will only make this worse

Aldermanic prerogative is another thing, driven by meetings filled with rich old people who think THEY should be the only 30 floor building on the block.

Both are issues, but the smaller guy *is* actually somehow worse in this situation in this context
Private equity and foreign buyers are not the people gumming up the works at every city zoning meeting. That would be old hippies yelling about trees and Gen Xers who don't want multifamily buildings next door
Not a huge Derek Thompson fan but he's straightforwardly correct here. Financial institutions own a tiny percentage of US homes and generally rent them out rather than keeping them vacant. Preventing BlackRock from buying housing wouldn't do much to help affordability.
