Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

They left the dog. This civil servant, who deployed with wife & 3 kids to frigging KINSHASA (to support development of Congolese capacity to sell cobalt to not-China, which is a policy goal that sells itself) was told by US Marines to load into a raft with 1 backpack per person. They left their dog.

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style Here’s the details 🧵

I'm not sold on NIMBYism as an explanation for declining mobility. If anything, high housing costs have contributed to a massive shift in population geography that might not have happened otherwise!

RIP Professor Shoup. I'm one of the many people whose lives he changed through his insight and generosity. He had an almost comical dedication to fielding every last email requesting his counsel, whether from a city council halfway around the world or a random reporter like me.
