Subpoena Elon @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Get him in front of Congress @replsimon.bsky.social!

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social do something!

Getting on @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ass to actually grow a spine and fight with @indivisibleeb.bsky.social

OAKLAND: Please join us February 18 for a candidate forum featuring candidates for Mayor and District 2. The election is just around the corner. Sign up here: www.eventbrite.com/e/oakland-20...

Tonight, hear from candidates for Oakland Mayor and City Council on housing, environment , and transportation issues - special election is April 15. Downtown above 19th St BART.

Protesting the coup today, thanks to @indivisibleeb.bsky.social Down with Trump!

there are protests planned at state capitols, city halls, and other civic spaces all over the country tomorrow: www.commondreams.org/news/anti-tr...

Added three more accounts to the DezNat blocklist today. When you encounter more, send me a tip via DM.

Tomorrow is #TeslaTakedown! You can make new events or sign up anytime at teslatakedown.com. For utmost safety, go anonymously and masked. Please be peaceful, safe, and cooperate with the police. Below are a few tips from the toolkit and this from @aclu.org: www.acludc.org/en/how-defen... Let’s go!

The US Nuclear weapons agency meets DOGE: "Managers with the National Nuclear Security Administration are frantically calling employees back and telling them that -- as of right now -- they're not fired, despite some receiving termination emails and phone calls on Thursday." This is a *mess*

I really love Oakland.

This is so bleak

horse in the hospital, but the horse has nuclear weapons is the thing

If Senator Van Hollen actually believed this, he would bring the Senate to a halt himself to delay RFK’s confirmation vote by weeks. But Van Hollen does not have this courage or strength of vision. He will not object to unanimous consent because he doesn’t want to work weekends. More… 1/3

I was waiting for this post today.

Milwaukee leaders are fighting to prevent the deportation of a local teacher and mom of two US citizens. She has an ongoing visa application after fleeing gang violence in El Salvador. Trump is lying to you when he insists he’s targeting only so-called “criminals.” www.cbs58.com/news/milwauk...

If CA Democrats ever feel like not being Donald Trump's unpaid interns any longer, they could eat TX and FL's lunch by simply building housing in existing urban spaces. Both states are facing an imminent insurance collapse and you can't retain knowledge workers with Cletus laws like this one.

Total triumph of the scammers imo. You're a sucker if you're not tricking people out of their money full time. Why am I working a job instead of pretending I invented intelligent robots or pretending I'm auditing the government

I've been using Duck Duck Go for years. I haven't missed Google at all.

@infinitescream.bsky.social

This is really bad.

they really killed him during a bird flu epidemic unhinged behavior ☠️

Just about any city that wasn't founded for trade or grew out of some economic activity like farming. The US is full of them. Vegas, Austin, Indianapolis, Columbus, Raleigh, Knoxville. But Las Vegas is probably the worst.

Literally immigration is our superpower. If we push it away, if we create a society that immigrants don't want to come to, we're done. But if we invite immigration, if we increase it, we continue to hold our place of power and influence.

This is a big example of why state elections for offices many people don't think about much ate really important.

So, @planetjoseph.bsky.social, you very need this.

“If deBoer were honest—or perhaps if he knew what he was talking about—he’d admit that no amount of assimilation is enough to win over nativists, unless of course it’s coupled with a massive decrease in immigration, legal or otherwise.” Straight 🔥 from Gaby Del Vale.

I was going to make a joke post, but it just seems wrong right now.

This is a big risk for parking reform going forward: abolishing minimum off-street parking mandates is easy. But we got them because cities refused to price/manage curb parking. If we don't set up more parking benefits districts, I predict minimum off-street parking mandates will make a comeback.

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening. https://youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE

Incredible news from Cambridge, and a welcome antidote to the 'fiddling around the edges' approach taken by many cities that have passed meager upzonings.

not sure how you can see this and not immediately call for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to step down from any leadership positions. he is absolutely useless

What's stopping members of Congress from bringing along Capitol Police who were there on January 6th to federal offices being taken over by Musk and Co.? Aside from jurisdiction obviously.

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.
