It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

I could look at examples like this all day. We need inspiration to remind us that better cities are possible, and can be achieved with concerted effort.

In an effort to purge ‘wokeness’ from science, Ted Cruz identified over $2 billion in federally funded research grants that supposedly promote “left-wing ideological crusades” or “neo-Marxist perspectives.” So, I mapped about it. Check it out here:

Why am I always talking about sewers and toilets? Because doing sewage and sanitation well is unglamorous, unsung hero work that is one of the foundations of a healthy society. @caltrain.com has wheelchair accessible toilets on board new trains and now has clean, well functioning platform toilets!

Funds for Sound Transit's long-planned Graham Street Station between Columbia City and Othello are swept up in a review of USDOT grants awarded for projects that encourage active transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Everyday draws us closer to this option.
I'm going to make a prediction right now, and I hope like FUCK I'm wrong and that this won't happen.
But.
I think Congress is going to fail to pass a budget by the deadline next month, we're going to go into a shutdown, and Trump will use that to attempt to seize full control.
