every traffic death is a policy choice
Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Remember this? The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

I'm really impressed with how Rashida Tlaib improved her BOOST proposal from the last time she introduced it. Last time it had a phaseout, meaning it required means testing. This time, she dropped the means testing and used a surtax to better accomplish her goal of avoiding boosting those over $150k
Rep. Rashida Tlaib as part of her Economic Dignity for All agenda has introduced a new version of her BOOST Act which is now a Universal Basic Income of $250/mo paired with a new 2.5% tax on incomes over $30k to function as a phaseout. That means everyone under $150k would see a net boost in income.

sort of underlining how dysfunctional and unfocused the administration is, the president tweets out a deadly serious allegation of sedition and calls for hanging sitting senators and the DOJ’s official course of action is to do nothing, no one’s in charge
“Oh damn, the president ordered the murder of his political opponents” is super bad and to a large extent so is “nobody under him lifted one single finger toward that goal” because who is exercising the power of the presidency at that point?

I understand the reasoning behind zeroing in on ICE & DHS abducting citizens. But when you lead with what's perceived as your most sympathetic cases, you cede the moral high ground & make arguing for others harder. It is wrong for armed, masked gestapo to grab people - doesn't matter their status.
