Fiery Core

@RecoveryDoctor Balance is not NIMBY. Berkeley is special because it’s human-scale. California has huge swaths of land for new growth that doesn’t render Berkeley faceless like Soviet-era Moscow.

NIMBYs? In Berkeley? Who knew? berkeleyside.org/2026/03/06/ber…

@SFBusinessTimes Berkeley won’t be Berkeley anymore if such massive buildings keep going up. We need to be creative to keep California livable & special, use our land thoughtfully. saveberkeleyshops.org

@current_kev Yes. Pretty steong earthquake in San Francisco @ 1:40 a.m.

WTF 5.1 magnitude earthquake just rocked my shit in San Jose anyone else feel that?

Change is underway in the Middle East: “The U.A.E. is lobbying for a UN Security Council resolution” to force open the Strait of Hormuz. They support fighting for regime change in Iran. Freedom for the people of Iran 🇮🇷 and the world! @WSJ @summer_said wsj.com/world/middle-e…

@clairlemon Israel might have the expertise to help the U.S. deny the theocrats a nuclear bomb. Nuclear terrorism is not in anybody’s interest.

The irony is thick. Jewish DA Jeff Rosen, whose father survived the Holocaust, charged hate crimes for Muslim victims: • 2019 Sunnyvale attack → hate crime • 2025 Morgan Hill Ramadan assault → hate crime But in 2026, two Israeli Jews beaten unconscious at Santana Row, attackers yelling anti-Jewish slurs? Rosen’s office: assault only. No hate crime.

The truth about Israel's status as an Apartheid/Colonized state from an Ethiopian Jew

@BriannaWu Stay strong, @BriannaWu. You have many allies.

For Trump II, I’ve tried very hard to not automatically think all Trump voters are my enemy. The comments to this post make me feel naive for that. They are horrific. Clearly, a great number of you delight in hurting transsexual women and see torturing us as progress. The most charitable read is you don’t understand what happens on a physiological and psychological level if you force someone post-vagioplasty off HRT. We produce no natural hormones. I would get osteoporosis. My bones would shatter. My vaginal tissue would start to break down. My energy levels would dry up to the point walking would be exhausting. And that’s before you even get to our psychological health. It would utterly shatter me. These drugs cost nothing. Without insurance, Estradiol is $8 a month. The government can bulk negotiate that for a fraction of a fraction. But even that read is naïve. All the information is out there for any conservative to read. In some level, you clearly want to genocide us. We are your fellow citizens. No matter what your grievances are with us, the comments here are disgusting, unAmerican and uncalled for. There is nothing trans activists have done with sports that justifies this policy.

@BriannaWu Terrorism and antisemitism are bad planks for a Democratic Party restoration. Thank goodness some Americans said No.

That’s so surprising that the endorsement of a flat-out terrorism supporter that sabotaged Kamala and hates Jews did not lead her to victory.

@ADLCalifornia Why did Jeff Rosen not charge the antisemitic attackers with hate crimes? They reportedly shouted anti-Jewish slurs as they beat the two Israelis.

Statement from ADL Central Pacific Regional Director, Marc Levine “We are grateful to the San Jose Police Department and Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen for their diligent efforts to swiftly identify, arrest and charge the suspects in the vicious crime in San Jose last week. This attack is part of a deeply troubling pattern of antisemitic incidents targeting individuals perceived to be Israeli or Jewish. No one should fear being targeted for violence because of their identity, language or perceived connection to Israel.”

@OpentoDebateOrg @reason @nickgillespie Gen X is expected to say, “Whatever” when people ignore us, but I love @OpentoDebateOrg so I wish you’d include my cohort in “Generational Divide” conversations. We have real wisdom to share!

Are we living through a Golden Age of News Media, or a moment of profound fragmentation and overall decline? In this episode of “Generational Divides,” @reason editor-at-large @nickgillespie leads a wide-ranging conversation about how journalism, algorithms, and audience expectations are reshaping the media landscape in real time.

@JohnFetterman is what we Jews call a mensch. He stood up for what’s right: Ending the religious dictatorship in Iran. Thank you, Senator! 🙏🏼

Getting back to the IDF knowing that you are part of a biblical time of defeating nowadays Haman🇮🇷 right on Purim and free the people of Iran

Buried halfway through this news report is an acknowledgment that @abcnews have known about Muslim youths attacking gay teenagers via Grindr but have waited 2 years to report on it. abc.net.au/news/2026-02-2…

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family? Is the president working to keep Americans safe both at home and abroad? Is the president working for you?"

@reider @JillFilipovic What’s the long-term solution? If other armies use robots that think faster than humans, they can kill our soldiers & destroy our robots faster than our people can respond. How can we not fight fire with fire?

Not enough headlines are focusing on the fact Hegseth specifically wants Anthropic to let robots roam and KILL without human oversight.
