The al pastor taco truck at sleepy North Berkeley BART is booming every night with neighbors, cyclists and families. Imagine what we could do with fully legalized street vending citywide.

It's truly wild that a historic trend is that voters just don't believe the GOP will do what it says it will do. They didn't believe they'd do what they said they'd do in 2012, and they sure as hell didn't believe they'd do Project 2025. How do you deal with this?

I think about how it was like 2012 when there was that survey about how voters refused to believe anything in the TXGOP party platform was real
Two things that are both true:
1.) American conservatism has always been far worse than voters are willing to believe.
2.) The groyperization of the GOP has been a world historical catastrophe which will echo for generations.
