Freedom from, freedom to do, and freedom to be.
"Where is the NRA now" posts are, I think, useful frames for noting the key insight of Cowie's Freedom's Dominion:
There are two types of freedom:
1. FROM oppression.
2. TO oppress.
And (2) has always been what the NRA types embraced.
So Trump IS LIBERATORY for them.

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

If Huntington beach and all the rural counties lose their preferred reps, blame Texas. It's only fair when everybody plays by the same rules. Prop 50 is a start, but it doesn't go far enough. #VoteProp50

“No one uses the bike lanes!”
“Actually, they do—just efficiently…You might not see it jammed with riders at rush hour like a car lane because—surprise!—bike lanes work. They move people quickly and cleanly. You just aren’t sitting behind them idling.”

“We can’t all be expected to bike.”
Fair. But that’s not the point.
“Not everyone can or wants to bike. But some people can & do—and they deserve a safe, efficient, affordable way to move through the city. It’s about freedom of choice.”

The main solution to bottleneck inducing lane reductions is to make the lane count consistent, and in this case 4x4.

What AC Transit is doing on the 10th is great, and it's not just because they're hyping it up.
The East Bay just got some good, and much-needed, transit news
OPINION: “Good news is in short supply. But on Sunday, AC Transit is launching its new Realign bus network — and that’s something to celebrate,” Evan Tschuy writes.
