I have a feeling Tony Blinken's legacy is not going to age well.

Wow. Secure Funding Group received over $1million in taxpayer-funded PPP handouts.
Then went on a house buying spree in San Diego. 1 of which ended up on Airbnb.

The climate is incinerating, wars are expanding, nobody can afford health care, the election is awash in dark money…and yet much of the press corps seems mostly interested in covering an inane sexting scandal that reads like a shitty Bonfire of the Vanities parody.

I remember during the fight over fisa reauthorization watching a high profile dc journalist who was romantically involved with a congressman in support of it reading talking points directly from the national security state. I don’t think I saw a single media outlet discuss the conflict.

@sfmcguire79 These people fighting over who “isnt white” is unseemly and embarrassing.

@ZombiePanther2 Dems have become a party of timid orthodoxy. From NPR to the New Yorker it's all the same stories, in the same breathless tones. The most compelling selling point has become, "Or else." Lessons might be learned after a hard loss.

@atrupar Kamala is the candidate of wealthy, college educated professionals. They want cheap goods and services, to feel virtuous, and lucrative laptop work. The class divide in this country has never been starker in my life.

ridiculous and a terrible look for the Teamsters

No endorsement from the Teamsters

@unusual_whales She says she's going to build housing because California finance/tech are all-in YIMBYs, and that's clearly who she's listening to.

Question: Housing prices might reignite and become more expensive with rate cuts.
Jerome Powell at FOMC: Housing inflation is the one part that is dragging a bit... we still do not have enough housing. Housing supply is not something the Fed can fix.

Overheard convo among folks from a private high school:
Could an Algerian kid join a black student association? One reply: he didn't have "black" ancestry, so no.
We're training kids to be more, not less fixated on genetic ancestry, to sort, affiliate, & exclude based on it.

Waiting for someone to write an article about how many academics have turned away from UP monographs to pursue trade books, and how that speaks to the collapse of university humanities, and, finally, how the best trade deals go to those for whom a collapse exits in different 1/2

@Robkearney1981 @AlbertoMiguelF5 You are correct. They immigrated from Lebanon to Mexico City, so it's a slight cultural difference.
English
@5Precepter @AlbertoMiguelF5 Maronites are Catholics and always have been (just a different Rite then the Roman one).
English
That's the way I see it. Hezbollah and Iran have been waging war on us for more than 40 years.
English
@Robkearney1981 @AlbertoMiguelF5 My family is Maronite (now Catholics) and this is really simplistic.
English
@AlbertoMiguelF5 People also overlook that Hezbollah has been warring and commiting atrocities against Lebanese Christians, especially Maronites, for decades now. The less Hezbollah that exist in Lebanon, the better for Christians there.

Really good segment. Thanks for sharing this with us, Omar. I feel for the doctor and appreciate those who have reached out to him.

We rode along with some Haitians in Springfield, Ohio getting picked up in the early morning for work. This van gets those that don't have transportation to their jobs. Part of why Haitians are settling in Springfield is because demand for work is high.

@NathanJRobinson In construction and machining there are no sick days. stay away from coworkers if you can. don't invite friends over, but you work through it. It's good for you.

does he think that, like, illnesses aren't real? does he think you can't infect other people when you're sick? does he think you should just like go in and vomit on people? i don't understand!

@keithellison @anneapplebaum Now you're posting neocons like Appelbaum with approval? Is there a war she hasn't supported other people's kids dying for?

@keithellison @VP @KamalaHarris @GovTimWalz Wait, I thought you were telling people to vote for Jill Stein?

I am voting for @VP @KamalaHarris and @GovTimWalz on September 20 in Minnesota, first day of early voting. Get your vote in early.

@annbauerwriter Bus drivers are my favorite people in the world. Once I was talking to a bus driver lady who worked at LAX and she started crying as she told me the plan was to automate train lines and get rid of the buses.

This is probably my most progressive position. I, too, think public transit should be free. (Also well-run, a good employer, and so easy to take it eliminates the need for everyone in society to own a car)
Shirley Leung, PhD@shirleyswirley
Libraries are free. Driving on most roads is free. Public school is free. Calling the cops is free. Parks are free. How does free public transit differ from any of these other things besides that we don’t already have it?

@StatisticUrban Texas is YIMBY paradise. Enjoy it and leave the rest of us alone, please!
