France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education. Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.

Aline started working at age 12. Over the next three decades she built La Barrique, a restaurant in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, from scratch. She cooked, served, and became part of the neighborhood. On October 17, rioters broke in, destroyed the place, punched her in the face, and set the building on fire. By morning her restaurant was ashes. 34 years of work, vaporized in a single night. Obviously, Aline is an immigrant, one who went to work every day, contributed to the economy and served her community. One of liberalism's fatal flaws is the fear of drawing distinctions. Distinctions between men and women. Distinctions between cultures. Distinctions between countries. Because apparently noticing any differences means that you are violating your commitment to equality; it means that you are discriminating, and in the hierarchy of evils in the liberal world, there is no worse sin. This is literally baked in to the French national motto: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité Égalité means equality, specifically social or political equality. Which means that drawing any distinctions is the same as discrimination. But this is completely untethered from reality because these distinctions are REAL. And if you craft and enact policies that ignore these distinctions, the chickens (ok since this is France, the Gallic rooster) will come home to roost.
🇫🇷 Owner of La Barrique, Aline, was beaten and disfigured. Her restaurant was completely burned down. She has lost everything...

תקשיבו זה הסרטון הכי מטורף שראיתי עד עכשיו. תראו איזה זעם ואיזה טירוף. יש פה איבוד שליטה טוטלי של כוחות הביטחון במרסיי. לא ברור מה הולך להתרחש. אם מקרון לא יפעיל את החוק משנת 1955, יכריז על מצב חירום, יפעיל את הצבא וירחיב את סמכויות המשטרה - צרפת בסכנה רצינית. הבנאדם לא באירוע!

Here's the darkest truth. Many of my fellow Democrats can't look closely at the Israel situation because it requires you to consider politically inconvenient truths you can't voice to the NPR pledge mug crowd. ✅ A lot of Muslims believe insane conspiracy theories about Jews and are bigots ✅ The Palestinians will continue to try to annihilate Israel regardless of what Israelis do ✅ Israel had a responsibility to its own citizens to prevent another October 7th. It may be distasteful to see the horrific images of war, but that's the reality of war ✅ America is letting scores of people into the country with beliefs exactly like Hamas. This is bad public policy for all Americans, not just Jews. I did not enjoy having my eyes opened up on any of these things. I understand they make me socially radioactive to a lot of people that have never run from an incoming missile into a bomb shelter. But it doesn't make them less true. And you have to actually go to Israel to understand it. When I was last in Area B of the West Bank, I was being escorted by a former IDF officer. We rounded a corner, and he puts his hand out ordering me to turn around. I look up and across the security fence, Arabs with guns are staring at us. It's so easy for Americans to whine about this situation when they've never stopped for lunch next to soldiers patrolling for suicide bombers. Republicans are very bad at governing, but they do understand that bad people exist in the world and sometimes you have to defend yourself. Until Democrats can grasp this simple truth, our analysis of Israel will continue to be dead wrong.

shout out to the guys still running universal basic income experiments to figure out what people will do with free money from the government as if we don’t have like 100 years of welfare data, and as if that answer isn’t basically just: rot, demand more free shit, crime

Cancel me. I don’t care. None of these people are trans. They have zero literacy in gay culture. Expanding a life-or-death healthcare issue to include bored progressive communist women was a historic mistake.

By now you’ve probably heard of the woman who was fired from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society following complaints that she culturally appropriated her Burning Man cornrows. Well, we got ahold of an internal document one staffer sent to volunteers and it’s an employment lawyer’s dream come true. Excerpts below or hear all about it on next week’s episode of Blocked and Reported (up now for Primos, unlocked Monday) blockedandreported.org/p/epi…

NEW: Haverford Professor Guangtian Ha has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking a Jewish colleague. Posing as a MAGA anon on X, he allegedly messaged another Haverford professor around 50 times between October 2025 and May 2026. In addition to posting vile antisemitic messages (see below), he allegedly posted his colleague’s “home address, infant child's name, a photograph of the family's mailbox, countless antisemitic slurs and threats, and reference to real-time observation of their home.” The target’s wife twice moved out of the home with their three children because they were so terrified. Ha is a member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine. He has called complaints about antisemitism on campus “Zionist witch hunts.” Originally from China, he is an associate professor of religion at Haverford who studies Islam in China. He holds a PhD in anthropology from Columbia. His dissertation is entitled, “Religion of the Father: Islam, Gender, and Politics of Ethnicity in Late Socialism.” He won the 2023 Clifford Geertz Prize in the Anthropology of Religion for his book, The Sound of Salvation: Voice, Gender, and the Sufi Mediascape in China. He is “charged with one count of cyberstalking pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2). The statutory maximum for cyberstalking is five years' imprisonment, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment.” Here are some of the messages he posted (brace yourself): “Jew, get the fuck out of my country” “Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion” “If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special camps and receive special treatments” “LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons.” “@[Victim 1] Eliminate the jewish cockroaches. Exterminate the jewish state. [Victim 1], you will have nowhere to go. Your family has no future in the US. Give it another 10 years, and you shall see a true holocaust.” “@[Victim 1] Fat jew, leave lower merion.” “@[Victim 1] Jew, watch your [Victim I's minor son's true name]. There shall be a sign.” After the victim took security precautions: “@[Victim 1] The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave. Blurring your home on google map and installing a security camera next to your mailbox won't help.” “[Victim 1], the jewish state will stop existing, whether you like it or not, which is why as an Israeli zio jew you want to recreate america in 'iSrAeL's' image. This won't work. You and your family have no future here. Homeless dogs jews will once again become, if you do survive.” “That's right[Victim 1]The end of American jews is close. Let's start with the jews in Lower Merion. Watch out jewish nigga.” “[is] that blood, [Victim 1]? We know jews are blood-sucking demons. Only the libtard niggas [...] will protect you. But soon we are going to make sure you have no place to hide, fat rat.” “Nothing wrong to hate jews. We started to decline the moment we stopped hating, eradicating and expelling jews. Babylonians knew, the Romans knew, the Spaniards knew. American jews have been exposed. Fuck anti-Zionism. HH [i.e., “Heil Hitler”].” Haverford College has placed Ha on administrative leave and barred him from campus. His information has been wiped from the college’s website.

Our new report shows that the City of San Francisco owns 147 properties that have potential to be developed into housing, including 44 vacant or soon-to-be vacant properties! In the midst of this housing crisis, we can't let these spaces continue to be underutilized.

Last week, the Board of Supervisors quietly and unanimously passed a prevailing wage legislation for contracted street cleaners. That hourly wage is $46.14 an hour. Melgar’s actions reflect what we’ve always known. Protecting and pleasing special interests. Not the majority of San Franciscans. How does this legislation make life more affordable for San Franciscans?

Once again, it’s older retired people trying to block new homes, stunting SF’s future and potential. We should be planning for 10, 20, 50 years down the road. Stop submitting to grumpy curmudgeons who won’t even be here to see a future SF. It’s absurd. Grow, develop, innovate.
At a Richmond District town hall, locals raised concerns about the scale and affordability of a proposed eight-story Safeway redevelopment. “This is probably the closest that we are going to get to having a public hearing on this," said one organizer. missionlocal.org/2026/09/ric…
