Cautiously optimistic climate alarmist. Opinions are mostly my own, some are borrowed.
Yes!

And Chicago isn't even in the top 20 cities for crime, violent crime, or murder. But that barely gets mentioned.

There are several elected Dems, several YIMBY folks, Yoni Applebaum, and Matt Yglesias.

Exclusionary single family zoning is not really a liberal issue anyway, many conservatives and bigots are also big fans.

You should read the book or at least a balanced summary.

"Approval of the deal by Trump’s regulators at the Federal Communications Commission is seen as contingent on settlement of the case, people at Paramount tell The Post."

Shorter version: everyone, even us MAGAs at the Post, see this as a bribe.

I strongly disagree with the recommendation to wear masks and all black.

We're Americans peacefully demonstrating, not thugs.

I really like Wired's coverage of current events, but not this.

True bravery. Standing up for the law is taking a dangerous risk these days.

Cronyism capitalism, just like in Russia.

Kiss the ring to get tariff waivers & other favors; stand up for what is right and get DOJ investigations & more tariffs.

Instead of $1 million "award" to 1 voter a day, could he give $100 to 10,000 voters per day? Or $1,000 to 1000 voters?

I'm curious how any of those could possibly be legal.

Also, Trump can't pardon him if he's charged by WI.

Cronyism isn't capitalism, just look at Russia.

Trump is creating Russia-style crony capitalism.

Cronies get rewards and tariff waivers, critics get tariffs and DOJ investigations.
