This article was just lying to you. California builds 25,000 ADUs per year because of state preemption. There are tens of thousands of homes built with state ministerial streamlining. There are now *hundreds of thousands* of homes that would not otherwise exist because of state preemption.
Statewide zoning reform isn’t producing the wins everyone expected. For example, state law can declare that small backyard cottages are legal. But unless cities can review them, permit them, and builders can finance them, legalization will remain largely symbolic.

"Corn ethanol requires millions of acres that could instead be used for food crops or more efficient energy sources. One recent study found that solar panels can generate as much energy as corn ethanol on roughly 3% of the land."
Corn’s clean-energy promise is clashing with its climate footprint
Corn dominates U.S. farmland and fuels the ethanol industry. But the fertilizer it relies on drives emissions and fouls drinking water.

Beautiful. Reducing humans to a “what” is the fascist enterprise. Reclaiming ourselves as a “who” is ours. And ours is the better story.
I wrote about the birthday boy and his tank parade, and the great weakness inherent in fascist shows of power.
And about how the people of the country *are* the country.
As a bonus tie-in, my answer to the standard terf question "what is a woman."

On social media, verification collapses, because the conditions that make it possible no longer exist. There’s no shared method, no trusted authority, no time for scrutiny. Instead, users resolve uncertainty through proxies: emotional impact, identity alignment, algorithmic visibility.

We shouldn't idolize politicians, but Zelensky is an actual wartime President who has shown incredible personal bravery in an impossible situation, whereas Trump is a coward whose only brush with war was an attempt to start a new civil one at home.

Anyways it’s really shitty for us #exvangelicals to know we are orphans when it comes to things like valuing justice and balance and diversity and equity and pluralism and democracy. Our elders have failed us, and it’s been so costly to be honest about this.
