This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

Long shot, but I think the AI bubble is so big, when it bursts it could destroy the credibility of tech to the point where obvious scams like crypto only survive in a highly politicized manner (e.g a hobby horse for the far-right & grifters)

200 liberals who show up then go for Brunch afterwards are going to be far more effective at stopping an ICE raid than 10 die for the cause dedicated leftists of the correct tendency (e.g whatever tendency I personally subscribe to).
If you wanna go to brunch with your friends after attending a protest, you should do that. Please don't listen to miserable dweebs like this guy who turn meals with friends into a purity test.

As much as Trump made things worse at ATC, Democrats also ignored the ATC understaffing crisis, which more or less summarizes the cycle of ATC conditions since Reagan broke PATCO.
Reagan, Bush & Trump made things much worse and Democrats at most give minor improvements, but ATC still can't strike!

Decades of Neoliberalism fed a monopolistic environment that stifled innovation to the point that we’ve now reached widespread decay.
Prioritizing short term profit over longterm sustainability was always going to catch up to us. Now, the wealthy require authoritarianism to keep things going.

Around now is when #Berkeley landlords start asking students to sign a new lease for the upcoming school year.
Spread the word- most tenants can now switch to month to month. Useful for those graduating early or going abroad.
Many other new rights also, see

how did nypd overtime become so abused that it’s now the subject of a federal sex-for-ot probe?
it all boils down to the way adams chooses to lead - with cliqueish gluttony behind a weak facade of technical leadership - per former commissioners, nypd members: gothamist.com/news/police-...

Mayor Adams vowed to rein in NYPD overtime. It spiraled out of control instead.
NYPD veterans described a breakdown in the chain of command, where City Hall's involvement fostered dysfunction instead of oversight.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)
The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.
