Whenever it rains in LA, I always think about the “Emerald Necklace Vision Plan”, which, if implemented, would result in expanded parks and green space along several waterways in the area.

All @islandpress.bsky.social books are HALF PRICE through Sunday, 11/16 including my book, The Uncommon Knowledge of Elinor Ostrom. Ostrom's ideas are about more than just environmental commons. They are about the heart of democracy and self-governance - ideas that are incredibly relevant today.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."

Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

"Here are three immediate steps [state and local lawmakers] can take to save consumers money on their power bills," writes @ilsr.bsky.social's @johnffarrell.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti... 🔌💡
Electricity is too expensive. Here are three ways to fix that.
Lawmakers nationwide can lower power bills by cutting utility profits, rewarding the companies for boosting efficiency, and unleashing solar and storage.

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Your windshields should be absolutely covered in a sticky mess of bug splats/insect carcasses every time you drive across open country forcing you to stop periodically at gas stations to use their wet squeegees to try and clean up your view of the road at night
Thinking a lot about how poorly our brains recognize long term subtle changes, like climate change or biodiversity loss. We've lost something like 1 out of every 4 individual birds in the US since 1970, more for some species.

There should be at least 25% more birds around you right now.

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.

We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.

We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.

And we won.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.

It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

Do the steps sound familiar?

I truly wish that the landscape hadn’t changed so much that now everyone has noticed. But it was going to happen one way or another eventually, because nobody was doing a damn thing to stop it.

Americans told us they need lower health care costs.

So Republicans ripped away their health care, jacked up costs, and handed over giant tax cuts to billionaires.

It's shameful. But I’m not going to stop fighting.
