@jasonc_nc I take "vehicle needs" to mean "regular maintenance," so it's funny to hear someone use the term to mean "the entirety of the urban built environment."

I’m happy to report that American manufacturers sell truck chassis that are perfectly capable of all the tasks below with a wheelbase and turning radius that allows for narrower lanes, intersection bump outs and other street improvements in our cities.
We just have to wean American fire departments off of their unhealthy addiction to unreliable, less-safe, oversized custom chassis from defense contractor subsidiaries.
In return we get fewer injuries and deaths, they get fewer calls to accidents and we all save a lot of pain and expense.

@fortworthchris @AustinTunnell Respectfully, this approach is dumb and has no merit. It's not just firetrucks- it's utility trucks, moving vans, car haulers, and big rigs who service homes. They will shrink in time. But ignoring those vehicle needs is retarded

@soclose2me Meanwhile, CSG-10 continues its long voyage to the Gulf of Oman, and dozens of C-17s continue to ferry ordnance to the war theater.
We are being sold yet another deception. Gentlemen cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. Unrestrained war will resume by the end of the month.

In case you’re wondering why the townie side of Boston has become totally irrelevant outside of Southie and parts of Dorchester it’s bc they’re like this

We should not be giving out grants or cash for summer block parties. Fiscal discipline requires us to immediately eliminate any program that is unnecessary during these challenging economic times. We must account for every dollar we receive and spend.

There is a statistical delta opening up in the Persian Gulf. A Bermuda Δ where oil present and futures diverge, where public opinion and markets do not merge, where global prices do not converge, and where—as Gramsci said—“a great variety of morbid symptoms [emerge]”.

Who would AOC's running mate be? If she picked someone with leftist cred like Kshama Sawant or Jill Stein that might help her with the tanky vote. But someone like Rahm Emanuel could help in swing states.

@LisaKeshet @RabbiPoupko Actually the orange on the Seder plate is a modern Passover tradition symbolizing the inclusion of LGBT Jews and women within the Jewish community

Why does the Palestine Lobby feel free to appropriate our culture like this????
Aber Kawas@AberKawas
Passover is a call to stand against oppression, and a time to come together to retell a story of collective liberation. I was grateful to join a community Seder with Table of Nations in Elmhurst, who beautifully embody the Passover appeal to “let all who are hungry come and eat.” Joining my Jewish brothers and sisters @JFREJNYC for their Seder in the Streets, we marched to say ENOUGH to Palantir’s deadly collusion with ICE and the detention and deportation of our immigrant neighbors. And as Israel escalates their attacks on the people of Lebanon, I rallied alongside @jvpliveNY at their Seder to Break the Bonds, demanding NYC divest from municipal bonds that fund Israeli war crimes.

@LisaKeshet @RabbiPoupko Hey Lisa I can't help but notice this photo you posted of your Seder plate.
English
The answer to why the Palestine lobby feels free to appropriate Jewish tradition is: 1) Antizionist Jews invite them to appropriate (hint, the orange on the Seder plate).
2) Insidious religious supersessionism operates in a system devoid of respect for the Jewish tradition by its usurpation.

@ripplebrain The West is still in denial about their loss. Many stages of grief to go through before acceptance.

During the first few weeks of this conflict, we had people confidently asserting that the free hand of the market would guide shipping companies to send tankers through the strait even if every other one was getting hit with a cruise missile. Now here's the Telegraph saying ships won't pass the strait even in peaceful conditions because the Iranian approved corridor is kind of narrow

Is it odd to tout one's geopolitical expertise while keeping silent during 2.5 years of genocide?
Seems odd.

I have a PhD in political science from Oxford, focused on US foreign policy; worked as a State Dept. official in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East; and wrote a celebrated foreign policy book taught at universities like Princeton. That's why I get geopolitical questions.
