go.bsky.app/HVLZoBr Re-sharing because I’m extending the scope to DFW rather than just Dallas!
First batch of folks added to the Dallas Urbanism/Transit starter pack- let me know who else need to be in! Dallas-area journalists who write about transportation and housing policy in DFW *especially* welcome.

We are going to need a study on how much people waste on this shit annually vs how much it would cost to have a functional transit system.

Mayor-Elect Wilson please build a million units of housing so i can finally move to Seattle like i’ve wanted to for years
Almost certainly Seattle. Population went from 600k->800k, the city went from no rail system to a top-10 busiest network, region became an absolute economic powerhouse, there’s a total transformation of the waterfront, and so much more

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

essentially, CBP should be reorganized out of DHS and into being a division of the Consumer Product Safety Commission
seen a couple of this take already but wanted to add to the stack: over the past five years I have become open borders maximalist, for both immigration and trade. the only job for CBP should be to make sure illegal or recalled imports don't make it to consumers, and (cont.)

A very serious and angry second to this.

Fail videos and cute animals and emotional best friend reunions are the reason we put up with the rest of the garbage online. It's the way we connect to each other's humanity.

Take that away and the Internet is probably bad on balance.
I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

I'm an Open Borders true believer. I think we should replace the entire DHS with a New American Welcoming Department that hands out Social Security numbers and green cards to new arrivals right at points of entry and helps them find places to live and work.

I, for one, am against starting an illegal war of aggression againt Venezuela.
Just asking again: Is the Democratic Party going to take a loud public stance on whether we should go to war with Venezuela or no?
"Senior military officials on Wednesday presented President Trump with updated options for potential operations in Venezuela, including strikes on land, according to multiple sources familiar with the meetings at the White House. "

We dropped a new report re: train operations, everyone’s favorite topic. There’s some backstory that we will get too. But, the basic takeaway is modern train systems have moved away from two-person train ops. New York should, too! transitcosts.com/Train_Operat...

In addition to being straight-up Nazi rhetoric, the "undocumented immigrants caused the housing crisis" lie seems designed to drive me, personally, insane.

viewing public infrastructure services explicitly through the lens of “how many people will this employ” instead of “how well will this serve the public” is how we end up with a lot of the problems with our infrastructure
