Suburbia was a conservative social experiment during the Cold War the purpose of which was to keep workers so busy driving to and from work during the week and mowing the lawn on the weekend that they couldn't organize in 3rd spaces. Zoning was a racial and economic segregation social experiment.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

yeah to be honest I’d support Real Cities All Over The Place But Especially Right Here solely on aesthetic and cultural grounds.

Luckily I don’t have to push that because I also believe it’s the right thing for social welfare / affordability and climate.

republicans are NIMBYs who want your rents to go up

this is why I have zero time for democratic NIMBYs. We need to forcefully embrace more housing to lower the rents, increase walkability, and boost economic growth

Lot of people confidently missing the point in the replies to this: if every cent of Elon musks net wealth was liquid, which it isn’t, that’s not even enough money to run the govt for two weeks. The problem less that they have money, and more how they use that money in destabilizing ways.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

I am still mystified what he thinks “Democrat layoffs” are. He’s already gutted all the do-gooder agencies. Selectively fire people in blue states?

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

Here's the reality: On any given day the President might impose an effective embargo on trade with China. This is the second time he's done it *this year*. They may patch it up again, but the pattern has been set, and it will shape expectations for the rest of his term.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
