I don’t know who needs to hear this, but giving corporations and wealthy people money for nothing is not the same as legalizing less expensive forms of housing construction.
Reaganomics is not the same as repealing segregationist zoning laws

The Supreme Court ruled states can ban trans youth from receiving gender-affirming care, which is scientifically validated.
The Court is now poised to rule states *cannot* ban conversion therapy on kids, which science finds to be akin to torture.

Replace Elon with Russell Vought and it’s exactly the same situation as earlier in the year
One reason Democrats should be withholding votes on everything is that if Elon Musk is allowed to just do whatever he wants, anything they pass is just toilet paper. King Elon can decide a law doesn’t benefit himself enough and just scrap its funding.

just my two cents on Ezra Klein: he is generally good on policy and his work on things like housing is helpful
the problem is that his punditry is misguided for two reasons:
1) he is not skeptical enough of right wing bad faith
2) he is acting like the U.S. is Hungary, where the right is popular

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go.
There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up.
These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

Transition is less of a linear path than an all you can eat buffet
Something a lot of trans people need to realise is we are not all transitioning into the same person. What works for you won't necessarily work for me. And my end point won't be your end point. Me I'm at the end of my transition, there is not a single thing I want to change about my body, voice or

I hope that anti-abundance libs/leftists understand they’re joining ranks with Padilla when they say stuff like “we don’t need more housing, it’s all the landlords’ fault”
Perhaps a time to reconsider knee jerk reactions to that book?

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign.
I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist.
He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

I have low expectations for @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, and even I was shocked by the naked Islamophobia that she was engaging in, including falsely accusing him of "global jihad".
I called her office and told them that this behavior is unacceptable from a sitting senator

I feel like I’m living through another repeal of the Glass Steagall Act
JFC. Even after what the Trump regime has done to LA, the state of California, both Schiff & Padilla (!!) decided to vote with Republicans to give Trump a massive gift on crypto.
Same goes for Gillibrand and NY.
Also shame on Booker, Kim & Warnock.
A disgraceful list - especially this week.

Incredibly Lukewarm take: “Abundance” is largely a call to action on policy (lowering barriers to creating good things)
“Left” critiques largely focus on the messaging and politics of it, which misses the point.
