“Bankrupting municipal budgets, fuelling preventable diseases, & helping to cause #ClimateChange — that’s how you start a conversation about why suburbs need to change, & why more of our growth should go to infill and transit-oriented development. The argument isn’t ideological, it’s mathematical.”

#Republicans worship a leader who tramples the rule of law, hailing every scandal as genius... yet they’re quick to vilify Biden. Double standards much?! When their KING rewrites the rules, justice becomes a joke, and #accountability is only for the other side. www.politico.com/live-updates...

There is talk of Trump dropping Peter Hegseth as his Defense Secretary nominee. Good. As @premthakker.bsky.social reports, having read Hegseth's books, some of the Fox host's views on Muslims, women, Israel and more, are truly shocking:

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

Why should President Biden explain himself. He pardoned his son who’s been villainised by Trump and his cults for 10 fucking years. Fuck off with your hypocrisy & for the democrats who are making their opinion known, you can fuck off too. Biden is protecting his son.
