He literally campaigned on this lmfao people are fucking illiterate
Q. What’s one issue in politics that you’ve changed your mind about? A. The role of the private market in housing construction. Q. How so? A. I clearly recognize now that there is a very important role to be played, and one that city government must facilitate through the increasing of density around mass transit hubs, the ending of the requirement to build parking lots, as well as the need to up-zone neighborhoods that have historically not contributed to affordable housing production — namely, wealthier neighborhoods.

@matthewdownhour.bsky.social i was going to respond to the comment in response to mine but i am skeptical this person is a good faith engager. i have blocked but you may want to consider doing so as well. (cw: transphobia)
KG @kdh52.bsky.social I don't give a damn what your pronouns are. Newt Calkins Yeah, that sounds about right. Rather than admit the possibility you were a wrong jagoff, get angry and double down. KG @kdh52.bsky.social Whew, you guys really are obsessed over pronouns. No wonder the country turned right. Let me know when leftists finally pick up a win somewhere.

ok this is ancillary to the point but the person you’re arguing managed to include an emoji of the UAE flag rather than the Palestinian flag in their bio, which was too fucking funny not to note
Screen capture of @sekhmetnakt’s bluesky bio. It includes the hashtags “#FreePalestine” and “#WeStandWithRussia” and displays emoji of the Emirati and Russian flags. There is no Palestinian flag visible.

And of course the mythologization of Rabin leaves out how the man himself characterized the Oslo framework and only offered Palestinians an “entity” that is “less than a state”.
We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority. The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines. And these are the main changes, not all of them, which we envision and want in the permanent solution: A. First and foremost, united Jerusalem, which will include both Ma'ale Adumim and Givat Ze'ev -- as the capital of Israel, under Israeli sovereignty, while preserving the rights of the members of the other faiths, Christianity and Islam, to freedom of access and freedom of worship in their holy places, according to the customs of their faiths. B. The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term. C. Changes which will include the addition of Gush Etzion, Efrat, Beitar and other communities, most of which are in the area east of what was the "Green Line," prior to the Six Day War. D. The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

I Guess Guy: A two-panel image taken from an issue of the webcomic series Gunshow by K.C. Green, originally published in November 2010. The panels show a frowning person looking very disgruntled with their arms crossed in the first panel, followed by them throwing their hands in the air and yelling "I GUESS" in the second.

The entire canal was officially completed on October 26, 1825. The event was marked by a statewide "Grand Celebration", culminating in a series of cannon shots along the length of the canal and the Hudson, a 90-minute cannonade from Buffalo to New York City. A flotilla of boats, led by Governor Dewitt Clinton aboard Seneca Chief, sailed from Buffalo to New York City over ten days. Clinton then ceremonially poured Lake Erie water into New York Harbor to mark the "Wedding of the Waters". On its return trip, Seneca Chief brought back a keg of Atlantic Ocean water, which was poured into Lake Erie by Buffalo's Judge Samuel Wilkeson, who would later become mayor. The Erie Canal was thus completed in eight years at a total length of 353 miles (568 km) and cost $7.143 million (equivalent to $199 million in 2024). It was acclaimed as an engineering marvel that united the country and helped New York City develop as an international trade center. On August 12, 1833, the Town of Chicago was organized with a population of about 200. Within seven years it grew to more than 6,000 people. On June 15, 1835, the first public land sales began with Edmund Dick Taylor as Receiver of Public Monies. The City of Chicago was incorporated on Saturday, March 4, 1837) and for several decades was the world's fastest-growing city.

unfortunately had to block the guy who responded to me by literally shrugging at 600,000 dead iraqis. really astonishing shit from self-described leftists and progressives.
melari.bsky.app: both kennedy and markey had previously opposed marijuana legalization and both had flipped in favor of it long before the 2020 primary. that's a pretty weaksauce excuse for supporting an enabler of one of the worst global crimes of the last century Moot Dengrich: Don't run a cop in 2020. [shrug emoji] melari.bsky.social: using a literal shrug emoji in response to the deaths of 600,000 dead iraqis is an extraordinary act of rhetorical callousness and cruelty, even setting aside that you are doing so in response to an arab. i do not believe this conversation or any future conversations will be productive.
