The San Francisco Chronicle makes the case for SB 79: "The bill would make it easier to boost California’s population in areas with the best infrastructure to support new residents, reinvigorate struggling public transit systems and help workers avoid soul-crushing commutes in gas-guzzling cars."
California will do anything to save democracy — except build housing
OPINION: Republican states like Texas are undergoing building booms and positioning themselves for a demographic takeover. Meanwhile, California dithers, the Editorial Board writes.

It is only barely hyperbolic to say NIMBYism and the downstream effects of making affordable housing inaccessible are why Democrats have lost so much ground.

The Democrats had the files and tampered with them, but didn’t use them during the election. Now that Trump is president, they want the files to become public to falsely incriminate Trump

If you set out to destroy our position in the world and hand the future to China you would do exactly what the Trump administration has done,again and again.

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change:
– ignore warnings of experts
– buy into bullshit "alternative explanations"
- read "don't worry" media op-eds
– deny it will really be that bad
– start seeing major evidence
– hope somebody does something

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
