Hello new followers 👋
I’m Tobin Stone, I’m a 23 year old from Colorado, I care a lot about housing & liberal democracy, I excel at making memes that mess with Republicans, and I’m now working to advance center-left ideas and candidates for @cnliberalism.org.
Hope you all stick around!

The war on our federal government through DOGE isn’t making it more efficient—it’s just inflicting pain on thousands of talented workers and making America less secure and competitive.

The first several speakers at this morning's comprehensive plan meeting have been longtime homeowners in Seattle's wealthy Madrona neighborhood, arguing that a two-block "neighborhood center" where some apartments will be allowed, saying it will destroy their neighborhood.

Short-term workforce training is one of the most promising (and popular!) policies out there to help folks without a college degree. Stood out for us again and again in our research with PPI. Working class voters are under no illusion: the 20th century job market is gone. Lets help people prosper.
New from me in RealClearEducation for @progressivepolicy.org: Under current law, Pell Grants can not be used for programs under 16 weeks in length.
I argue that this outdated policy should be changed, so that students can use Pell Grants for high-quality short-term programs.

Congress has the opportunity to pass the bipartisan YIMBY Act during the current lame-duck session, but partisan squabbling is preventing the bill from being brought to a vote.

historically Boulder NIMBYs said they were "protecting the environment" and co-opted the Sierra Club.
instead they were promoting sprawl and the destruction of habitats outside of city limits

While I also don’t like the fact that so many are celebrating the dudes death, I don’t think the person that once asked me to make her a “mock tourism poster for Florida marketing it as LeperLand” should be allowed to say anything about American’s depravity.

I like Cory Booker a lot, but it would be nice if we could develop a couple of Dems in leadership who are not from the tri-state area
Interesting shake up for Senate Dems leadership vote.
Schumer to remain at the top, with Durbin as the minority whip.
Klobacher at the #3 position and Booker rounding out leadership, at the #4 spot.

“Stepped up antitrust enforcement” should have meant “scrutinize more small deals that can still have big local anticompetitive effects” not “arbitrarily decide that tech companies are too big.”
While I'm vocally skeptical of the current administration's approach to antitrust, this oped makes the same mistake: over indexing on the tech cases/companies
Most antitrust is much more mundane and beneficial
