The east wing was built in the 1940s in part to cover up the president’s secure emergency bunker which was also built at that time. I wonder where the entrance is and how demolition is affecting its accessibility.

TIL Citizens United tried to literally redefine corruption. Always thought people meant that metaphorically. “Taking money is not corruption and will not therefore make people lose faith in democracy!” Pure fairy tale.

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

Walked to my local library to pick up a book about how AI sucks, then stood outside pretending to read it while eavesdropping on a local business owner's phone conversation about when the store is opening. Then I came here to spoil my extremely offline lunch break by posting about it.

Until I worked with a team whose first language wasn’t English I never used complete sentences; I’d always start three and give up with a shrug.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. #nokings

Sounds like Scott Weiner is joining the race which means we've got to support Saikat.

San Francisco knows that the politics that got us into this mess aren’t going to get us out. The 800 folks that came out to our rally 8 months out from the primary made that clear. Together, we can fix this.

The nuance with which he explains how and why the democratic party has been a disappointment is incredible.

amazing opening

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

Documentation is so long it has to be read after hours, so it’s competing with with George Saunders or Ted Chiang or whatever else for my time. Docs aren’t winning that fight.

The excitement of city life: 3 coyotes trotted by our corner over the course of 15 minutes, one of them carrying a cat in its teeth. It was the talk of the neighborhood for the next half hour, passers-by relaying it to one other, warning about off-leash dogs & babies.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy
