@ashleevance Come to Baltimore. It's like a John Waters movie wrapped in a David Simon show.

States should really seize the moment and get weird. I want to cross into a new state and experience the rich tapestry of life

@Vokabre @JewishWonk Two LDS things:
1. They place a high priority on moral public conduct.
2. They are a disproportionate demographic within the US national security sector, and sincerely care about national security.

@JewishWonk I'm not an American, I'll never be allowed to visit, and I have barely any familiarity with the US, but Utah on this graph made me curious about politics of LDS folks.

Grifters and idiots: Trump won because Dems didn't prioritize my [niche issue that never clears 2% in polling]

Gone is a genocidal president too hypocritical to admit it. And in comes a genocidal president who wears it as a badge of honor.

@Sjcolmus @RiehlDeal125 @AoDespair @EdwardWeissWP @reallyliberal8 Personally, Steve, I would like a Dubai-style cluster of luxury residences out in the chesapeake bay built on an archipelago of 23 man-made islands, each one shaped like a different Maryland county all of them arranged around a 1/20th scale replica of Baltimore City.
English
@RiehlDeal125 @AoDespair @EdwardWeissWP @reallyliberal8 But there’s also context to where you’re building. Why not turn Patterson Park into a Soviet-style sea of apartments? Why are we preserving all of this non-tax-generating green space in Druid Hill Park that doesn’t impact housing affordability? Why do we NEED to build in the IH?

I'm with him. And folks know Marty and I aren't often two paired oxen in harness. But the harbor promenade is a magnificent public asset and the best public use might not happen to be the most profitable. And I don't understand how delivering all that real estate to the private sector without an explicit plan to maintain public access and engagement isn't leaning into a coming punch.

Elections have consequences. A smaller council would mean more power for rich donors and less for working people.
Vote No On H!
Jews United for Justice@jufj
Baltimore City: vote AGAINST Question H this election to keep the power with the people! Question H would shrink our City Council from 14 to 8 members and as a result, our Council would inevitably become less diverse and less representative. #BaltimoreCityIsNOTForSale

We hold every person in this country to a higher standard than Donald Trump, the petulant-bully-in-chief.

I made a sub for Ol' Dirty Bastard when I worked at Sheetz in 1995.

@MoreAndAgain Honestly, one of my ongoing insecurities about my parenting is that I haven't moved to NYC so that my son can grow up there.
English
Part of the reason why I hate that so many stories about New Yorkers center transplants is because New York kids get erased.
Folks have no idea what it’s like growing up here, and won’t hesitate to shade the idea of raising kids here.
But, my childhood was fucking magic.

If you were going to choose a metaphor for the 2024 Republican Party, a garbage truck chauffeuring around a billionaire traveling around in circles and going nowhere, all for a photo op, is pretty spot on.
Hey, Dave!@davegreenidge57
He’s just out on the tarmac having someone drive him around in circles. Why do I feel like this will become the defining meme for his entire campaign?

Angry Conservatives:

70’s women’s rights=communism
80’s gay rights=communism
2000’s health care rights=communism
2020’s environmental rights=communism
Today: anything to do with ‘others’ rights=communism
You get it now?

@dave_brown24 "But surely they will be based in the Middle East region you speak of?"
"No, Florida."

"I dream that one day, we shall have combatant commands. Northern Command will oversee the north of the continent. Southern Command, the south. And Central Command..."
