Can Jeremy Allen White guest star so that Miss Piggy can declare that she's replacing Kermy with Carmy? And Fozzie can have a hilarious misunderstanding when she says something about loving The Bear?

blue states should work hard on affordability and social safety nets, letting red states see the results of their cruelty
New research confirms what many of us see: there's a large internal migration of LGBTQ people in the US, especially trans people, to friendlier states & cities.
Since 11/2024, 9% of all trans people have moved to another state, 43% have considered moving.

Evidence is mounting that even the most vulgar YIMBYism is broadly correct in its diagnoses and policy recommendations
A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

One big takeaway from Mamdani bringing YIMBYs into his transition is that advocates can often gain a lot of power by
1.) having useful answers to questions and accurate information
2.) being reasonably polite and pleasant to elected officials
3.) understanding the actual mechanics of government

This is a good example of how well-off senior staff at progressive nonprofits will reflexively advocate for their own class interests as suburban car owners but launder that position by sock puppeting low-income Black and brown people.
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

As I never tire of reminding people, the two plausible alternatives to automated traffic enforcement are that we either rely on the discretion of individual police officers or we simply don't enforce traffic laws at all. We have been trying both alternatives now and they are failing us.
See also: debates about speed cameras.
There's a problematic reflex among some progressive reformers to move from "conventional criminal legal responses are bad" to something too close to "accountability in general is bad."
I think (as Jamelle argues here) it's rooted in not thinking abt victims.

someone tell the California ACLU who is disproportionately more likely to be killed in traffic accidents including those involving people under the influence
