You likely know all this already, but RFK Jr. fired all ACIP panel members earlier this year, replacing them with hand-picked anti-vaxxer quack-jobs who are aligned with Kennedy's anti-medicine, anti-science stances on vaccines.

Wow! Wealthy homeowner groups in San Francisco suing under the California Environmental Quality Act to try to stop a major citywide rezoning to create new multifamily housing? Who could have seen this coming?!

And other biases exist! I have heard of Sausalito PD trying to talk riders out of filing a police report because there was only damage to the bike and no injury.
Of course, some people, for a variety of reasons, will be unwilling to file a police report, perhaps to due to documentation status.

Cupertino spent the last billion years fighting the Vallco replacement project. And now because of interest rates, tariffs, and all the other macro stuff the affordable housing part doesn’t pencil out.
This is going to be great NIMBY copypasta material forever

Politics aside, LA28's silence is so perplexing from a strategic perspective. The refusal to guarantee the safety of LA's immigrant community could end up seriously impacting the organizing committee's ability to deliver the games.

During the past six months, virtually every civic organization in Southern California has put out a statement denouncing ICE activity. Yet LA28, the private nonprofit that serves as LA's Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee, and aspires to be a civic organization, has said nothing
Why won't LA28 support LA's immigrants?
"An Olympics and Paralympics security plan that gives control to a federal administration that is already attacking immigrants in our city and across the nation puts our entire community at risk"

Unintended consequences: we might actually build housing adjacent to transit and increase metro ridership
More on SB79 (CA housing-near-transit bill). Horvath sounds supportive. Najarian says it has unwanted unintended consequences - concerned that Metro wasn't working on this - wasn't warning him (& board) - says it should have been a 3-alarm-fire. Says it was a fait accompli when he heard about it.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Birthright citizenship is good policy - the arguments that it’s not all seem either race stuff or the unfairness that other people have to wait.
We can fix that by admitting more naturalized citizens.
