Very harrowing article by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor

'Bannon advances a vision of the United States as a bunker in its own right, one in which Ice agents stalk the streets, workplaces and campuses, disappearing those deemed enemies of US policy and interests.'

The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor
The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

This one fuels (pun intended) lots of interesting replies and quote tweets. Feels like someone could start a “Car Guys For Multi-Modal Cities” or “Car Guys For Transportation Choice” movement.
You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

Leonard Cohen looms large over Montreal. Johnny Cash looks over Sacramento (down the road from Folsom Prison). I love these. Big, fun place-making & story-telling instead of a big, blank wall.

I’m recommending this again. Put favourite son Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip on the Kingston skyline.

This is really important.

The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

“So @scottwiener.bsky.social is more than just an interesting lawmaker from America’s 3rd-­weirdest city. His nose-to-grindstone, hardcore policy approach could be a key to a political realignment—a long-overdue recognition that addressing housing is needed for the survival of the Democratic Party.”
Scott Wiener defeated California’s NIMBYs. Can he fix America’s housing crisis?
By running for Nancy Pelosi's House seat, he's putting the abundance theory to the test.

He is 100% correct
Nick Fuentes, who has praised Hitler and is openly antisemitic, says Republicans are hypocrites for “tolerating cruelty and abuse” toward Muslims, Black people, and other minorities while drawing the line at antisemitism. He argues his own politics are simply the logical end point of that bigotry...

Wait. Why would Marjorie Taylor Greene calling to release the Epstein files be a betrayal to Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party?

Olivia Nuzzi's memoir is a combustive portrait of America, President Trump and the scandal with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that upended her career.

In an exclusive interview with The New York Times, she recalls the infatuation that consumed her, Kennedy’s use of psychedelics and much more.
