You can't be a sanctuary state or sanctuary city if people can't afford to move there.
Also, if people are looking for where queer people live: btime.org/c/queer/map. There are cheaper cities with sizable queer populations.

The only way to take the party left, BTW, because I know whose saying shit like this, is to retain power, take more, and obtain a greater voice for that wing of the coalition in a government they helped create. There's no universe where a loss takes this party anywhere but to the right.

Biden was never my preferred D candidate for president but his presidency has outperformed my expectations on policy and competence. The Democratic Party, like our national democracy, is a geriatric institution, but I prefer it to alt-right white-nationalist fossil fascism.

Boeing is pleading guilty to a fraud that killed over 300 people. Their punishment is fines. At least one person made a decision to perpetuate this fraud, so why is nobody going to jail? If corporations have the same rights as people, they should face the same criminal liabilities as well.

There was lead in EVERY tampon they tested.
There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic.
Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. 🙃

Project 2025 is the GOP party platform they've been too afraid to write down since 2020. It is a collection of all their policy positions and plans for remaking America into the upside down, mirror universe version of itself. That's why they don't want you to read it.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.
