One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

we have to make supreme court expansion a 2028 nominee litmus test, we have to get every candidate on the record about what their plan is to rein in this rogue court of unaccountable ideologues

Such a system would link billionaire donors, party committees, and campaigns in lockstep—exactly the model promoted by Vance, Thiel, and their broader donor network.

Nearly 25 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled in FEC v. Colorado Republican Committee that the government can limit how much money political parties spend in coordination with a candidate’s campaign.

I have a new movie recommendation for you. “The Thursday Murder Club” stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Bronson, Ben Kingsley and a STACKED ensemble. It’s about nursing home residents who solve cold cases and then end up working a new case.
It’s fun and cozy! Netflix should be promoting but… yeah.

I remember as a little kid listening to "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers and thinking "I don't really understand what's going on in this song I bet it's messed up grown up stuff I'll understand later" and now I'm nearly 40 and still have no idea what the song is supposed to be about.

Yes, I feel obligated to be engaged in the world, but the other day I searched the #birdsky hashtag and now my feed is interspersed with beautiful bird photography and art.
I also downloaded the Marlin app and despite the winter checked off a red-tailed hawk and migrating canada geese in 1 day

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.
