We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

This piece was published while the administration was threatening to send the military into a major American city to crush dissent. The Atlantic is a speak & spell for babies who can’t handle reality at this point.

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

As other people have pointed out, California's Republican House delegation could easily put a stop to this by withholding their support for the reconciliation bill, and yet there's no chance that they will

Does Barro think labor unions in New York City were weaker in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s when the city was building things more easily? Is that the argument?

Willie Brown Middle School is a San Francisco 6-8 in the Bayview District. For the entire ‘24-‘25 school year, I have been driving the 44 O’Shaughnessy bus that stops there right after school gets out. That trip has been the busiest and most challenging part of my working day.

On Earth 2.0, folks on the other side of the aisle would say loud and clear that if "everyone involved in the deal understand the payment as the price of merger approval" then it is a bribe, and all of those people should expect to go to prison if it goes ahead in the next administration

While I sympathize with every post I see that excited about a primary challenge to Fetterman, I really doubt he'll ever run in another primary. He'll either retire because he hates the job, or he'll run as an indy with the (perhaps conscious, perhaps subconscious) goal of giving the seat to the GOP.

This trend, and the union density trend during the same period, are why the US is so deeply dysfunctional.
