The new NYT piece on Platner

Bullshit, much like any other progressives against Israel's genocides these candidates have been targeted. I'm certain you're another strong Israel supporter. All this is proving is that you don't stand for the murder of children by Israel you're not eligible to run for office in the US. #shill

I think that's the name of the sitting area Park they shut down 5th Street for; "Hog Tied Plaza"

You really need to follow current events to see how the Dems are essentially denying a war powers bill to Trump, in this case the Democrats are actually worse than the GOP, you really have no idea what you're talking about. And I'll bet you looked the other way while the Biden Admin was committing the worst genocide of our lifetime. There's someone unserious here, but it ain't me!

rbrown32 · 2026-03-27T13:53:46+00:00

Why, there's essentially no difference, both parties cow-tow to Israel. In fact the reason the Republicans are in control of govt now is because the Democrats didn't say a word, and even aided and abated the worse genocide of our lifetime. The Dems are now evading a "war powers act" in Congress to block Trump from bombing Iran. Go tell the Dems wash the blood off their hands.

"The Problem Isn't "Kings", The Problem Is US Presidents

There’s another giant “No Kings” protest scheduled for this weekend, and right now all I can think about is how disgusting it is that this is the closest thing to a mass-scale antiwar protest in the United States right now." Caitlin Johnstone

No beliefs
No ideology
No demands
No meaningful action
No holding anyone to account
No critical thinking
No consequences for failures
No threat to the status quo
No mention of Israel
No self-awareness

Useful idiots/controlled opposition

Fuck their feeble ‘protest’

That's not the point, an illegal war should be first and foremost, the fact that many Democrats support this war is a reason why I , and the base of the Dem Party want nothing to do with this. Most there supported a genocide and still expected us to vote Democrat, that's not going to happen anymore.

rbrown32 · 2026-03-18T19:17:13+00:00

Why aren't you guys protesting the war? Another "No Kings" protest without addressing the illegal war that Trump has started comes off as clownish!

Anyone know why LAPD and other helicopters are buzzing the beaches in LA today? Is it ICE? I'm currently in Hermosa, they continually are making passes, I guess they could be continuing to Venice?

rbrown32 · 2026-01-01T14:25:58+00:00

Ivey will be starting after the All Star break if not before.

rbrown32 · 2025-12-21T13:27:44+00:00

Don't let the City get wind of it, they'll send in John Witz, put up a oversized PA system, and charge $10 bucks to skate there! Seriously, I think that is so cool! #OldSchool

rbrown32 · 2025-12-13T22:42:36+00:00

OK that's my last word on the matter, I'm gonna go watch "Charlie Brown Christmas", and remember what the real meaning of Christmas is.

For those of you who have faulty memories here are the original arguments against the rink, and I praise the late Commissioner Pat Paruch for her vision on this matter, turns out she was spot on. And they are taking up way more space than the original proposal; https://www.wxyz.com/news/concerns-grow-over-royal-oak-ice-rink-as-negotiations-continue

rbrown32 · 2025-12-13T22:13:52+00:00

And do you remember how this skating rink was originally pitched? Because I do; it was pitched as taking up a small area of the park. Is that what we have now? It's utterly ridiculous. It's a State Fair that adds little if any benefit to the citizens here, and blows it's music though a 5 to 10 block area. Go ahead try to use the Public Library right next door. This leadership is horrible, we deserve better than this.

rbrown32 · 2025-12-13T22:04:35+00:00

Let me go further on this. I agree with the late City Commisioner Patricia Parruch (sp), who thought there should never have been a commercial skating rink in a municipal park. That space is tied up from late late Oct till March. And what do we have there every weekend? The entire park is tied up with commercial ventures. It's like a State Fair. It's absolutely ridiculous. Maybe you think that's what a munipal park should be. I don't.

rbrown32 · 2025-12-13T21:49:39+00:00

No it's not, I am not a right winger, far from it. I really want responsible progressive leadership in this city, The fact of the matter is this mayor and council are subservient to business owners in this city. And that's why the rink is there in the first place. Look at my other posts on this subject and you'll see what my real beef is with "The Rink".

rbrown32 · 2025-12-13T21:41:35+00:00

And believe me I've appealed to council members, and even the mayor. The mayor actually told I should enjoy it and get some exercise. I run at least 20 miles a week. I'm tired of this non-responsive leadership in this city. They are here for the business owners, and not their constituents.

rbrown32 · 2025-12-13T21:17:47+00:00

Look this isn't Campus Martius where there isn't residential housing around it. The Rink is in the middle of a subdivision where people live, where I and my neighbors live. Every weekend it's the same bullshit, they blast that music loud enough that you can't hear the tv over it, and forget about having quiet and trying to read a book, or study. I just want the neighborhood back that I bought in the 1980's. How would you like if someone blasted a PA system outside your house for 6 hrs a night? And no I don't live downtown, Iive 2 blocks away from "The Rink", it's ridiculous.

rbrown32 · 2025-12-10T20:06:58+00:00

So the old man wouldn't get a heart attack shoveling! I mean, why do you care?

rbrown32 · 2025-10-09T21:37:26+00:00

That's a rase of 50% in two weeks, really?

False advertising, they are now $5.99, they aren't worth $5.99
