Food for thought for defenders of capitalism: 1.1 billion people, nearly a quarter of the global urban population, live in slums or informal settlements. That’s roughly the entire population of the planet when Engels and Marx published The Communist Manifesto in 1848. Is this progress?

Instead of revitalizing redlined areas, gentrifying segregated communities or "fixing" the hood, what if researchers & urban planners focused on the resources needed to flourish? That's just what the Institute for AfroUbranism, an urban planning think tank, is doing.

Today on Volts: parking is the "dark matter" of land use, invisibly making everything worse, but most municipalities continue to mandate minimum levels of it. WA state just passed some awesome parking reform & I dig into it with @citizen-cate.bsky.social & Alan Durning of @sightline.org.

elon musk is deeply dumb. he's bad at nearly everything. he's rich because he's brazen, soulless and evil. he remains rich because we've built a system that makes it very hard for billionaires to stop being wildly rich, no matter how stupid they are, no matter how much they destroy and fuck up.

Substack paid Matt Yglesias 250,000 tp start a newsletter so he can spread his smart takes like “DEI is bad.” Am I saying that fool is a Nazi? No. But I’m saying it is different than other platforms that simply allow Nazis. They pay the people they want to launch newsletters. A LOT OF MONEY.

In just under ten years, the American left has gone from "only white guys" to being "too mean to white guys." Thankfully, the people that decide these things are approaching all of this in good faith, so I know we can trust them.

DOJ files for 30 more days to answer complaint in Abrego Garcia. That’s needlessly dilatatory, but it’s the sort of motion that is routinely granted. Not this time. Judge Xinis denies it and orders them to file today. More concrete cost for their shabby lawyering and squirrelly evasions.

John Roberts' atrocious opinion inventing criminal immunity for presidents paved Trump's path to a second term. Now Trump has embraced Roberts' dark vision of the presidency as corrupt, self-serving, and all-powerful—and it threatens to render the Supreme Court irrelevant. slate.com/news-and-pol...
