Here's the deployment map of states activating national guards, btw, in case you were curious about how the NeoConfederacy has expanded since the 1860's.

DC statehood shows Dem weakness goes back a while.
Occasional lip service, but barely even that, and effectively took the stance that hundreds of thousands of US citizens should be disenfranchised because it’s unfair that they’d elect Dem Senators, which would make the Senate less disproportionate.

In what is presumably a punishment for striking, Philadelphia is now making workers wait in unsafe buildings until someone from administration can come and verify things like "the power is out" or "it's 85 degrees inside."
So that's fun.

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL

The municipal workers strike may be over, but District Council 33 members must now contend with the swing from the high energy on the picket lines to feeling “demoralized” at work.

The city of Philadelphia has allocated $750,000 for all library programming at its 55 branches (including Central) for FY2026.
It's spending $1.3 mil on new "slightly different shade of blue" cop uniforms.
Just in case you weren't clear on priorities here.

Philly workers went out on strike—and came back with a deal that nobody seems to like.

I will never forget the way our “pro-union” Democrat mayor used lawfare, intimidation, and a disgustingly cynical PR campaign to bully and break down some of the most essential and underpaid workers in Philadelphia—and nobody else should either.

Rich people wasting money. Two young women dead in the last decade so these folks can unload groceries.
Some residents of Pine and Spruce Streets have sued to stop the city from establishing neighborhood loading zones opposite the bike lanes along the corridor.
The zones are intended to complement a new ban on vehicle drivers stopping in bike lanes.

People tell me to be safe while biking, and while I appreciate it, what I'd really appreciate is people going a step further and pondering *why* they think biking is unsafe. Because then they'd have to grapple with the fact that we've designed our society to make biking "dangerous" for many people.
