We desperately need new housing in this country, but I'm increasingly over the YIMBY vs NIMBY thing, because when I see the word YIMBY I think of these guys. Polarization is more important than ever; it's unfortunate that some prominent housing advocates want to pick fights with core Dem voters.

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

So like "Bad Groups" in this formulation includes a large chunk of the Democratic electorate, right? Like if you're a woman, person of color, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, disabled, etc... you're in a "Bad Group" whose political views are annoying distractions under this formulation

This is Old Fart content, but I really, really wish Google Maps on Android Auto would let you see the whole fucking route before you get going. I hate the "ok now cut across four lanes of traffic to get to that exit" thing.

The 21st century Dem equivalents of the 19th century Republican lily-whites, who thought Republicans could win in the South if they would just give up "purity tests" around Black civil rights. That gave them a powerless minority of Republicans in safe seats, in exchange for Jim Crow.

expect the FBI to do the same with miscarriages, abortions, and reproductive healthcare more generally. it’s a snitch state for legal health care (at least until scotus bans it all)

Here's a small good thing you can do all month long. Two, actually. 1. Like, share, and comment on any library post featuring Pride books or messaging that's positive. You can influence the algorithm for good. 2. Write a letter to your library board thanking the library for Pride displays.

To all the Latino Trump supporters, when he said that he was going to deport all the criminals, rapists, gang bangers, he meant YOU. Because that is how he sees you—what he thinks of you. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here, what you’ve contributed. You’re brown, that’s all that matters…

If a Columbia student says something antisemitic about Zionists, it makes national news. Meanwhile, the official account of the Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee can spin fantasies about Jews taking over global affairs, and I haven't seen a single media source touch it.

Tbh at least in Chicago I'd rather see stop sign & bike lane cameras than more speed cameras. If we want to get really controversial, can we talk about automated enforcement of vehicles on the lakefront trails?

i know some of my courts friends may not like this, but it’s not okay that judges are letting these people rot in a deadly foreign gulag while they take months to debate whether the government is disobeying their orders intentionally. it directly devalues their lives.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

TRANSLATION: we know our research won’t pass peer-review, so we’ll create our own journals where we control the review process (this, by the way, is what a bunch of industry-sponsored hacks did about 25 years ago to push thru bad science claiming toxic chemicals weren’t toxic…)
