federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Dept. sued him and his father for refusing to rent apartments to black people.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The billionaire takeover of media aims to shield corporations & politicians from accountability.

It's a 50-year master plan detailed in never-before-seen documents that we're about to publish in our new book.

We preview the documents today in The Guardian.

The good news is that it's possible to turn fiscally unsustainable development into fiscally sustainable development. All you have to do is turn it from low-density, segregated use development into mid- or high-density mixed use development.

There are two types of car-dependent, low-density development: development that has become fiscally unsustainable, and development that will become fiscally unsustainable.

Every politician in America should expect to have an adversarial relationship with the press and vice versa.

This is great. "Access journalism" has been terrible for the press and the American people because it incentivizes softball questions and treating liars with kid gloves. Ask politicians hard questions. If they refuse to answer, call them on it. If they cut off access, call them cowards.

An incredibly annoying aspect of America's "Felony Contempt of Business Model" laws that criminalize digital lock breaking is that basic features that applications should contain and that would be trivially easy to frequently take years to become available to users or are never available.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that what makes the American post-war development model so weird isn't necessarily car-dependence. It's the idea that once a farm is turned into a subdivision full of SFHs, it can never be anything else for the rest of recorded time.

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

This doesn't just affect rural areas. All those rural people who survive the 2+ hour transport are going to drown the capacity of remaining hospitals. There will be pain, injury, and death for everyone to share.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Why do you need a special district for decentralized finance? Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of decentralization?

"Argentina Bailout" is tautologically objectionable, all that's left is to attribute it to Trump. I think peppering in descriptors like "$20B" or "massive" can help too but isn't strictly necessary

It is a good sign for us that the effective-for-our-side framing "Trump's Argentina Bailout" is how it's being referred to in NYT headlines. If that's the language being used we've already won the argument on the issue. Trump's Argentina Bailout

Republicans are fighting to ensure that Americans in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a raft of other red states pay DOUBLE what they paid before for healthcare.

This is a great metaphore

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back
