Housing activism, biodiversity, agnotology spotter. Old enough to have chanted "the whole world is watching" and believed that this mattered.

oh wow, thanks for sharing. "changed his mind" right about the time I bet he got some nice infusion of dark money funding.

Are they both YIMBYs? I've fallen behind on YIMBY politician identification.

Nah, I saw it in Philly two Indivisible marches ago. It's more like a bourgeois lifestyle sign. Same people across the country.

I saw this sign in Philly two marches ago. So not really "the most LA thing." And yes, late lunch instead.

Absurd and shameful that we're back at that trough for a second time.

Yes, because nothing has demonstrated success for one and all like a US-supported regime-change.

Seriously, the one thing EVERYONE learned (though some pretend they didn't) from the pandemic is that if everyone in every C-Suite on the planet died, nobody would even know it, while if ONE janitor calls in sick, everyone's day is ruined.

He cut all funding for NPR and PBS, calling them "radical left monsters." I'd put that in the erratic and insane column.

Nor did I say you were suggesting that. Are you offended by people who build on what you say?

Why would I block you? I wasn't defending whites. I was agreeing and saying it's a problem rooted in American political culture. Not exactly a transgressive observation.

I don't think it's just white people who won't participate in a general strike in America. I think it's a problem at the heart of American culture. Plenty of white (and other races of) people go on national strikes in Western European nations.

The local and national newscasts are the same. CBS in Philadelphia filmed a little segment that made it look like nobody was there, and said that "hundreds" showed up. Police estimated it at 15,000. It was packed.

Also note how they either offer no crowd estimate, or lowball it, or say something vague like "thousands," when it's 12,000 or 15,000 or in the case of DC somewhere between 40-100,000 (no clear source for crowd size). Whereas with Trump rallies, we always get inflated crowd sizes.

I went to Philly's march--estimated at "several thousand." The trolleys heading from West Philly to CC were packed. Had to wait for 3 to pass before one with a little room squeezed us in.
