@ryanlcooper.com revisits Cadillac Desert, which criticizes Western water development. Cooper writes, “While the book is extremely enjoyable and well worth reading, its basic framework is highly outdated and in places infected with Reaganite politics.”

‘Cadillac Desert’ Reconsidered - The American Prospect
Marc Reisner’s 1986 book demonstrates how a hypertrophic judiciary combines with America’s deadlocked legislature to make vast swaths of Western water policy dependent on 19th-century legal norms.

And immigration is 38%. There is no political downside to opposing cruel authoritarianism.
Oof. Trump's handling of economy sinks to 31%.

As Trump's economic policies and reckless, corrupt, and self aggrandizing approach continues to fail for voters, expect more of even his supporters to start asking:

"Where's my 'golden age'"?!?!?!

ICE told us it had no body camera footage from Chicago in response to our FOIA — even though a federal judge ordered them to wear cameras and turn them on.

So who is ICE lying to? Us, or the judge?

At the #muniForever rally @jackiefielder.bsky.social calls on Mayor Lurie to raise the parcel tax cap for skyscrapers from $400k to 800k and eliminate tenant passthroughs. “As Muni goes, so goes the city.” Says if we don’t see movement in negotiations, we’ll be back with more to announce.

If you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t need to hide your face.

If you’re simply “enforcing the law” you don’t need to shove home security cameras away.

People recording you wouldn’t be seen as a “threat”.

ICE doesn’t want to be recorded because they commit atrocities.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Once again, read this. And the 18th Brumaire
Read this thread. And then read the 18th Brumaire itself- preferably several times.
All right everybody, time to read (or reread) The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. Ground rules: we are not reading for the history of 1848-1852 France, but we're also not looking for direct parallels to the contemporary US. We are looking for broad lessons on politics and just generally good lines.
