It find it so interesting how to leftists USAID was a right wing CIA psyop intended to destroy socialism and to the alt right USAID was a secret communist deep state destroying America.
The common denominator here is that this the result of Russian & Chinese hybrid warfare
this is a basic test of whether or not you live in reality, let alone your loyalty to the american republic
if you cannot forthrightly state that joe biden won the 2020 election and donald trump lost it, then you don't have the backbone necessary to serve in any public office
@ChrislRamirez@_fat_ugly_rat_ If you oppose interracial relationships, think imperialism is fine as long as you are also fascist and think murderes should face no consequences then I suppose
It’s time to close the loophole that allows city-funded nonprofits to lobby in secret. San Francisco doubled its investment in nonprofits for needed public services since 2019 — yet some of that investment appears to fund lobbying and advocacy campaigns to push for still MORE city funding.

Just utterly depressing that the Democratic party is about to send someone to Congress who opposes interracial marriage for "woke" reasons, sided with Russia's invasion of Putin, and cannot answer a basic question about prison abolition despite being asked four times in a row
It’s a political earthquake.
But when the dust has settled and several very left-wing NYC House Democrats are replaced by new very left-wing House Democrats who also call themselves “socialists” what will have actually changed?

Short term rental restrictions didn’t keep rents low. Banning self driving would cost lives. Congrats to all local politicians and unions
@bigseb31213 This isn’t new, in the past the government banned new development in some second tier cities holding back the broader economy for years, now they want to do the same to London. For some reason British politicians seem to always think the solution is strangling themselves
