"look at how the elections in France turned out! you need to vote in November!" Yes, we agree that a parliamentary semi-presidential system with multiple parties provides opportunities that are not available in the US thanks to the Electoral College and FTTP voting. Your point being?

Goddammit before you start another goddamn rant about the goddamn presidential vote in any goddamn direction PLEASE remember the fucking Electoral College renders 95% of any such discourse absolutely meaningless.

a restaurant in ann arbor put city council contact info on a sign by their cash register because the owner was mad that a protected bike lane replaced four (4) metered parking spots, and #a2council has gotten emails thanking them for the bike lane as a result

It hasn't even been a week since congestion pricing was supposed to into effect, and we already have a high-profile death in the CBD zone caused by an out of state driver. Guess what I'm going to be telling Hochul today when I call! (518) 474-8390

you have to wonder whether this would've been one of the cars congestion pricing took off the road gothamist.com/news/nypd-3-...

NYPD: NJ man charged with drunk driving after 3 killed in July 4th LES crashgothamist.com Responding officers say they smelled alcohol on the driver

my takeaway is that we should complain to managers about bad public transit near their shops more often

I also think it has to do with who complains. If you drive to a store or restaurant, you might tell the manager, “Ugh, parking sucks around here.” If you walk, bike or take transit, you probably don’t say anything. That leads to business owners believing that all their customers drive.

About 15 years ago I wound up in the hospital the first week of August. As I'm lying there in my bed with an IV and heart monitor, the phlebotomist taking my blood leans in and whispers "See all those doctors in the hall? They were med students six weeks ago!"

Fun fact: if you injure yourself and go to the ER on July 4th, you are likely to get taken care of by a doctor who has exactly four days of experience! 🙃

fucking hate fireworks

lol bruh are you literally living under a rock?

The "prison rape" joke is inherently deeply homophobic, and it does not become magically less homophobic just because it's being weaponized against a white supremacist piece of shit like Steve Bannon.

It should not be controversial to say that prison sexual violence and/or coercion is never a good thing or an appropriate thing to joke or threaten about, even when the target is someone terrible. It is a deeply fucked up, traumatic part of our carceral system.

there's a certain irony that liberals who have spent four years yelling at leftists who criticize Biden at all for any reason have now, in one week, done more damage to Biden's candidacy than all those leftists combined

I think the freakout has been absurd and overblown and far more damaging than the debate itself, which would have been survivable if everyone had been willing to circle the wagons and push back on it I am, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, extremely concerned that the damage cannot be overcome

I never want to hear liberals claim leftists who criticize Biden are "helping Trump win", ever again.

Breaking News: President Biden told a key ally his campaign may be unsalvageable if he can’t convince the public he’s up for the job. The conversation is the first public indication that Biden is seriously considering whether he can recover after the debate. nyti.ms/4cHJgGu

The NYPD restored more than 2,000 missing discipline records to its public database of uniformed officers, weeks after ProPublica revealed data reliability issues. But it also removed case numbers, making future oversight more difficult.

this is so ridiculous. hochul is on the record praising the toll schedule six months ago! in today's call I asked if she could comment on whether she was lying then or is lying now gothamist.com/news/ny-lawm...

NY lawmakers weigh lower congestion pricing fee – but Trump could kill tolls if electedgothamist.com State senators confirmed to Gothamist they’re discussing a Goldilocks price for the tolls that’s low enough for Hochul to swallow but high enough to raise sufficient money for the cash-strapped MTA.

This 100% explains why the pope keeps calling people the f slur.

@winemomculture.bsky.social come get your people

Veep has prepared us all for this scenario

"Now the president has no limits on his power, so I can't do anything to stop Trump." - Biden, the sitting president

Democrats once again default to their classic position of "this is bad, someone else should do something about it."

Biden says public must block Trump if Supreme Court will notwww.politico.com Biden called the court's immunity decision a “terrible disservice” to the nation.

Literally seeing this sandwiched between two posts about the Trump immunity SCOTUS decision. If Trump doesn't have to obey the law, why should anyone else have to?

I don't get it, why can't they commit fraud? Congress is doing it, scotus is doing it, the presidents do it, the wealthiest people in the world do it, everyone they are told to look up to and respect are celebrated for it. Why wouldn't they think they could commit fraud? It's the American Way.

Gen Zers are so disillusioned with the economy that they think it’s OK to commit fraudfortune.com A third of Gen Zers either know someone who has participated in payment fraud or have done so themselves.

The reason the NYT is publishing this piece is because your calls are working. Keep it up! Call Hochul and tell her that the MTA has already lost $2.5 million since yesterday due to her decision to block congestion pricing. It needs to go into effect NOW. ☎️: 518-474-8390

All of you have done a great job calling your elected officials. KEEP IT UP!!! www.nytimes.com/2024/07/01/n...

Hochul Is Pressed to Resurrect Congestion Pricing With Lower Tollwww.nytimes.com In conversations, New York legislators have suggested a way to bring back the program, possibly with a toll below $15.

As far as I can tell, Biden can legally murder Trump, as long as he does it using government forces and claims it is to defend against an enemy of the state (ie, an insurrectionist).

it sure seems like they've made it legal for Biden to drone strike Trump

Biden has the obligation to do the funniest thing ever. bsky.app/profile/cmhe...

seriously, they are missing such an opportunity with this messaging

A huge winning message for the Democrats is "you will not have to think about this guy ever again"

Why is Kathy Hochul so bad at everything

NYC congestion pricing was supposed to go into effect today. Let's see what Governor Kathy Hochul -- who intervened to prevent the policy leaving a multi-billion dollar hole in the MTA's budget and canceling service improvements and needed station upgrades -- is up to. Oh. Oh no.

Personally I go for LGBTQ+ Max.

LGBTQ+ sounds like a premium subscription tier to the queer community
