The Supreme Court really needs to crush rent control once and for all.

[𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖊 🕯 @atlanticesque]

I disagree with Paladino on a lot, but this is basically true. And it’s not a secret!

Mamdani and his allies have explicitly stated they want to hold landlords underwater with rent stabilization until they’re forced to liquidate, and left-wing nonprofits can take the buildings.

“Policing should be more targeted” lolololol

Let me tell you a story about targeted policing. So Seattle got speeding cameras a few years ago, an advisory group had to recommend where to place them.

One thing they hated was that if the cameras were simply put in the most dangerous places—with the most dead children—it would be disproportionately in PoC neighborhoods.

So the working group wanted to move some cameras into whiter neighborhoods.

But think about the implications for a second: local residents are the ones most likely to be caught speeding and local residents are the ones most likely to die in collisions.

Targeting actual need of speeding cameras was deemed racist. So the implication of the group’s recommendations was to literally kill poorer children of color, so that more white people would get speeding tickets.

So…what *is* a legally acceptable way to check who is a citizen, if not a federal database?

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the use of a federal database to check citizenship, saying it could wrongly purge voters. https://t.co/SEXwxtny7t

It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. Police officers responded to a scene where shooting had been reported. They asked a guy if he had a gun. He said no, the officers asked him to "hike his pants." The guy had a .40 calibre pistol that had been stolen from an FBI agent's car two months earlier.

The lower court threw out the guy's conviction on the grounds that he should have been able to walk away from the cops, but didn't because he is black and had reason to be afraid - he felt "compelled." So even though he cooperated with the cops and the gun was found - no can prosecute.

The cops did their job, found a stolen pistol, probably prevented some future crime - but SCOTUS basically sides with the thief.

@davidenico @JenniferLe47190 @josh_hammer You're gonna be waiting a while.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

This is another great example of how Candace either doesn't know, or doesn't care, how Charlie actually lived his life.

She ridicules the idea that Charlie would talk to people like @josh_hammer or rabbis about how to frame arguments on Israel before debates, because he was "smarter" than them. Instead, they must have been threatening him, she says.

Well, I was a part of that prep work, and they weren't threatening him. Instead, it really was just debate prep. Charlie always knew he could be better and was eager to get advice and guidance from other people he thought could help him. He was so successful not because he was innately smarter than everyone, but rather because he had so much humility.

I can see how Candace might be unable to relate to a person like that.

[Britta | NoSoup4Knowles @nosoup4knowles]

Candace says that Charlie tweeted that he was leaving the pro Israel cause the night before he was assassinated

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

@JenniferLe47190 @josh_hammer Whether or not he needed it, he asked for it.

Charlie Kirk posted this a year ago today, and given the last 72 or so hours on this platform, it's safe to say it rings more true than ever.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

During our last AMA segment, Daisy got a question about following Charlie's sabbath practice that turned into a moving reflection on how becoming a mother helped her get through the tragedy of last September.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

Glad to see this resolved positively.

[Obscure Moderator @ObscureMod]

The Community Notes process has to be fixed! I’m glad Vinnie admitted how wrong he was. However, I think the biggest takeaway from this clip is just how misleading the Community Notes have been!

Especially against @TPUSA and the people who defend them.

Today is an emotional day because this will be the first of a lifetime of Father’s Days that Charlie’s two kids will acutely remember their dad being missing.

It is our responsibility to do the work to make the country a better place the way CK intended & to not allow the world to forget the heinous anti-Fatherhood message that claimed his life.

Pray for his family today, hold your loved ones close & commit to the work this year.

@CynthiaOct22 @ElleRen7 There is a psalm between the first and second readings.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

@ElleRen7 Those are the four readings at today’s Catholic mass.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

@BlakeSNeff I thought you were catholic? Where did the four readings come from?

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

Some great readings at Mass today:

Jeremiah: "I hear the whisperings of many:
'Terror on every side!
Denounce! let us denounce him!'
All those who were my friends are on the watch for any misstep of mine.
'Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail, and take our vengeance on him.'
But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph.”

Psalm 69: “For your sake I bear insult, and shame covers my face.
I have become an outcast to my brothers, a stranger to my mother's children,
Because zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me.”

Romans: “But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come.
But the gift is not like the transgression.
For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.

Matthew: “"Fear no one. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.
What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.”

@restoreorderusa Incredibly depressing that a city as old and historic as Boston has that monstrosity as its city hall. Should be blown up.

[Sum🅱️oi 🇬🇷☦️ @Smthingedgy]

The true difference between left and right wing is whether your takeaway for this is "he ruined that kid's life for $2200" or "that kid ruined his life for $2200".
Everything else is downstream from that.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

@StevenGlinert @AndrewSethMeyer How readable is it? In my experience Chinese history is a pain to digest generally, not the least because I’m terrible at remembering the names.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

There's a lot of dry, dark comedy in how Fehrenbach explains regime after short-lived regime that takes power, fusses over offices and titles and military uniforms and makes grand promises, then runs out of money 8 months later and gets overthrown. I think this one chapter alone had 5 coups in it?
