WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

Respect.

Great new piece at the Toronto Star, comparing the cost of building a Toronto condo in 2014 and 2024. Taxes have grown the fastest. Land costs, surprisingly, are the slowest-growing component. If this analysis were done in, say, SW Ontario, land would be in the top two.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Columbia University sold out to fascists and brutally cracked down on kids whose only sin was opposing genocide. The fascists threw the University under the bus anyway. I feel like there's a lesson in there about complying with fascism.

Thank you, good Doctor @emptywheel.bsky.social

Visualization of mandating parking minimums and the cycle it creates: • forces more land to be used than needed. • unnecessarily spaces things out. • makes walking, cycling, and transit more difficult. • increases building and land costs, which are passed onto consumers.

The fact that Byron York, out of the loudest shouters about the dangers of a “deep state,” can suggest it’s illegitimate to identify the people who have been given unprecedented power to change the government shows how utterly lost to nonsensical fascist propaganda some “conservatives” are.

Dear Democrats: Go to Africa, pull out your phones, and interview some of the people who are going to die because of Musk. Then wait for him to call them Untermenschen. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-win...

🧵I think we need to talk about *waves hands wildly in all directions* differently. I see 3 goals: -Dismantling democracy+systems of accountability -Advancing white supremacist policies here+abroad -Immiserating non-billionaires for financial gain Each action is toward those one/all of those goals.

A critical metric for our #urbandesign work is: 'How well does it shred?' Skid marks on architecture = 💖

Reup: Peterr's reflection on Bishop Budde & prayer service: This is a service for the nation. Not for "the citizens of" the nation. Not for "the taxpayers of" the nation. Not for "the leaders of" the nation. This was a service for the nation-the *whole* nation. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/22/h...
