Trump is driving up housing costs. Tariffs are jacking up the cost of building. Deportations are harming the construction workforce. By gutting HUD, DOGE is undermining rental subsidies & mortgage assistance for first-time homebuyers. We already have a housing shortage. Trump is making it worse.

once again I have to invoke the specter of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who is in Hell now. under Reagan, the term "government spending" was effectively demonized. fuck you, Reaganite ghouls! spending money, on its people and their needs, is the function of government! public works are good! say so!

I probably don’t have to say this because we all know it, right? (RIGHT??) but: This is absolutely NOTHING to do with antisemitism. Trump and his cabinet and Musk and his lackeys are absolutely drowning in actual antisemitism. Jews are just a tool to them, to wield whenever it suits their agenda.

Nazis and Zionists—with VAST overlap—are seeking to end higher education in the U.S. on the grounds that campuses have not been sufficiently violent in suppressing the free speech of anti-fascist students

Folks, allow me a moment to encourage anyone seeking a talented journalist, writer, and Russia expert to look closely at @laskin.bsky.social, who recently lost her job at Meduza due to layoffs triggered by the USAID collapse. I will gladly sing her praises from the mountaintops.

Pointing out hypocrisy on Palestine by bringing up Ukraine has always had its limits because it doesn’t acknowledge how Ukraine itself was and is treated.

when i visited the front in 2015 i met a Ukrainian sniper in his late 50s or so who had fought in Afghanistan. hated it. never ever wanted to go to war again. but he has two sons so he picked up his rifle again so they wouldn't have to. I'm sure they've joined by now. Hope they're alive.

Above is what happened to AfD’s support after Musk zoomed in to their rally, below is what happened to the Left’s—if you’re wondering about his ability to play global puppet master.

Once again, the rise of the AfD and its relatively greater popularity in the East has led to yet another round of discussion around the legacy of the GDR and contemporary German politics. A short thread:

Hmmm. Mix increasing delinquencies in subprime non-QM loans, gutting the CFPB, and gutting the FHA (which helped rescue the housing market in 2008+). And throw in lots of layoffs. Perfect recipe for a mortgage crisis. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I am extremely upset about what’s happened between the US and russia. Like I can’t even articulate it. So many Ukrainians died for freedom, so much pain and suffering, only to be undermined like this by cynical great powers carving it up like a thanksgiving turkey

If you get paid this week & have extra cash, please consider buying a warm hat or pair of boots from our registry!

There's never a bad time to execute your ideas & to move from theory to action. This is a particularly good time for this. If you think that you know how to do a thing, do that thing. No permission needed. Try it out.

Something people (including me whoops) have not been mentioning much, is that LA is straight up on it’s 4th day of anti-ICE protests, predominately led by the HS students. As in students are ditching class to walk out to protest ICE in our city.
