He’s probably fleeing in terror from the miasma that took out Gordo

The best part is the Bals des Pompiers (Firefighters’ Balls) the night before. Most fire stations have a giant block party and fundraiser that goes well past midnight.

Fête Nationale itself is pretty similar to our Independence Day, there’s military/veteran parades and fireworks.

The dems have painted themselves into another lose-lose corner, but the choice is clear. The fascists will break any deal and fuck them over, so they need to hold the line and refuse to support the regime in any way. Force the R side to own the disasters fascist policies cause.

Modern fascists love coopting symbols of resistance and unity. The Gadsen Flag is a great example.

GenX and Millennials think they're the goonies, saving the neighborhood from the evil developer that wants to build a country club where families live.

That trope is effective propaganda against good development. It makes alleged progressives favor million dollar townhouses over apartments.

The DC occupation is really pulling back the curtain on the fact that these fascists are terrified of their own shadow.

They define "crime" as people who don't look like them doing anything at all that makes them even slightly uncomfortable.

Every major city should be adding at least a mile a year per million people in the metro area, whether TBM, cut and cover, or elevated guideway. For at least a decade.

He explicitly wants to ethnically cleanse American cities. He's trying to provoke violence so that he can send people to camps.

PHL is pretty close. And the arrivals lane requires going past the train station.

Unfortunately 30 minute headways make it a poor option unless you're going to center city or the northern suburbs.

There is a monument to Arnold's heroism in US service: www.nps.gov/places/boot-...

It doesn't mention him by name, so it's an interesting way to memorialize the historical you significant actions of an eventual traitor.

The key difference is MAGATs want to honor traitors for killing Americans.

Also, Majority-Minority districts are essentially federally mandated packing gerrymander. They serve a purpose, but it's important for Democracy to balance that in other districts so that essential minority representation isn't suppressed by making other districts non competitive.

2584 passengers on/off last year. Only worse station in PA is North Philly.

They could probably be refurbished and used for Keystone Service.

Extend the L along West Chester Pike to at least Newtown Square, with a branch to Media, where they'd need a short tunnel with a terminal station. On the other end extend farther up Frankford and branch via Bustleton up Castor.

The legend of Lee might be part lost cause bs, but a lot of it is also postwar US generals trying to build their own legend.

It’s the same shit you see with WW2, pump up your enemy to cover your own failures
