There's a reluctance to confront anti-social behavior in this country. For those who live in larger cities, I think a big part is the danger and total futility of talking to a mentally unwell person. For others, it has to do with a non-zero possibility that the person you're confronting has a gun.
the cultural crisis is straightforward: there are no longer any formal consequences for blatantly anti-social behavior, and the rest of us are constantly just getting lectured that we have to put up with these assholes making our lives worse
Imagine if NPR had actually talked to safe streets advocates for this story and learned how the solutions to drivers killing people is not, in fact, victim blaming

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Great reporting from @awalkerinla.bsky.social around the City of LA’s need for a Capital Infrastructure Program and associated advocacy efforts. Wild that we are alone among major cities for not having a CIP, though not surprising by looking around at our built environment.
A new report from Investing in Place — "A City That Works: Public Space as a Civic Promise" — has 16 specific structural reforms that LA's public spaces need, compiled by the brand-new Public Space Leadership Council.

@bsky.app why do I see so much hockey-related content in my Discover feed? I’ve never cared less for a topic/sport. Is this payback for the Canadian tariffs? I promise I’m opposed.

Never bet against the Republicans' willingness to sell out after spending weeks feigning concern. It's all an act. They're all self-serving cowards who will put party over country every single time.

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if *I* am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.
