The United States is a country of laws. It is not a dictatorship.

Congress determines immigration under our Constitution.

Congress explicitly, specifically barred the President from banning entire nationalities from immigrating.

Those who feel that shifting to an induction cooker is too complicated, costly, or even impossible (renters, for instance) might consider buying a portable hob. They start at less than £30 for a single one and should do the job well! Good for your health, the planet (and your cooking)!

The FBI pulled all-nighters and burned nearly $1M in OT trying to redact the Epstein files all the while Trumpworld argued over what to hide or release. The panic says more than the pages do. Transparency shouldn’t be optional. What are they hiding?

Still thinking about this article. It’s always been a sore spot in YIMBY circles that so many progressive foundations pour money into NIMBYism, and I’m glad it’s finally being aired in public. Keep talking about it. www.insidephilanthropy.com/home/philant...
Philanthropy Needs to Pick a Side on the Housing Construction Debate
Despite California’s severe housing shortage, foundations are still funding on the wrong side of the housing fight there, guest author Ned Resnikoff writes.

Note that the very existence of big utilities is bad.

The ideal is energy efficiency + decentralized renewables but coal is preferred to zero-emissions hydro and nuclear because the target here is industrial-scale enterprises not pollution.

16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim has been released after over 9 months in an Israeli prison without trial.

I was relieved to hear from his family today and to know that he’s safe and where he belongs — with his family.

Tomorrow is #BlackFridayParking!

Join us in highlighting why costly mandatory parking requirements are unnecessary by showcasing all the excess parking on the busiest shopping day of the year.

Take some pics and post them with the #BlackFridayParking tag!

Black Friday Parking - Parking Reform Network
The idea is simple: showcase that even on the busiest shopping day of the year, plenty of parking spaces remain unused, supposedly when demand is at its peak.

Today I'm grateful for many things. But at the top of my list is the brave members of our National Guard. My thoughts today are with the victims of yesterday's terrible shooting, and their families. May they be reunited soon.

Holding all those injured and involved in the shooting of National Guard troops in DC in the Light. War is not the answer at home or abroad. We need more healing, justice, and peacebuilding, not more troops and collective punishment. #lovethyneighbor @quakerlobby.bsky.social

not just to score political points: trump is using the military, including National Guard, as part of a broader effort to consolidate power without limits. These 2 National Guardsmen should have been celebrating the holiday with their families; I hope they recover soon.
These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

What happens when you downzone?

Our new open-access research paper in @findingspress.org investigates effects of decades of downzoning in Chicago.

Findings:
—Downzoned areas added 1/7th of the new units as comparable non-downzoned areas;
—Downzoned areas became more white & were more expensive.

The WV National guard troops could have spent Thanksgiving with their families.

Downtown DC could be free of military weapons.

Please, especially if you live in one of the seven states whose troops continue to occupy our city, urge the governors to send them home.
Trump doesn't care that his deployment of the National Guard is dangerous — but the governors deploying these Guard members should.

We're calling on Governors Ivey, Kemp, Landry, Reeves, DeWine, Lee, and Morrisey to recall their Guard members from DC. Email all seven: bit.ly/seven-governors

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.
