If you are queer and think you might like to buy a gun at some point, I would up the urgency of that consideration. It is entirely possible queerness will be used as a disqualification for gun rights by the trump admin. Still be safe, balance your concerns of gun ownership, but just factor that in

I just dropped a big, deep update to my story on the last remaining house from Nashville's first exclusive streetcar suburb. It relies on over 100 sources and excavates critical context to the origins of city planning and zoning in Nashville—some unearthed after more than a century. Preview 🧵🧵

SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional. Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.

Really need folks to understand that when Trump does his next coup and we take to the streets, it'll be Democratic governors calling out the National Guard and Democratic mayors calling out the cops to violently suppress us. They'll be calling for law and order and "violence is never the answer".

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

we see the same thing playing out in seattle. younger residents today do not have the ability to amass generational wealth that previous generations have seen the price of a home today is pushing $1m. the downpayment in most cases is higher than the *total* mortgage of our most vocal NIMBYs

I'll admit I make like $20/hr not $200/hr but idk doesn't seem like a good move as a Dem consultant to shit on a transgender person for saying they don't want to live in a rural area because they have nearly been shot just for being trans in rural areas before.

i’ll be honest, i think equating land use reform with neoliberal deregulation and building code reform with tenements is a clear indication that the anti-YIMBYs are not particularly interested in solving the problem of high housing costs

400,000 more people rode the NYC subways in a single day and it was barely noticeable. the equivalent population of Tampa piled into transit and it was a blip. almost like transit is a more efficient mode of conveyance than automobiles

We cannot socialize the costs of fucking stupid development decisions, it is too immense. We have to just stop doing it. Build functioning cities. Allow more neighbors. Build quality public services. Fund public housing off of market growth. For the love of God don't fast track redevelopment of WUI
