knocking on doors, finding allies, & building movements to better the lives of people (esp. those who don't often have a voice) does a lot more for our cities than posting hot takes on social media 😊
often, there's more impact in being an organizer or "local activist" than armchair urban planner 🤭

If they REALLY wanted small government, they'd support a liveable Universal Basic Income and Land Value Tax.
But they don't. They just want low social spending and low taxes on the wealthy.

Israel is already accusing the ICC of antisemitism for issuing an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
But, as I explain here for Zeteo, that's BS because a Holocaust survivor/ex-Israeli diplomat was one of the top legal advisers on this ICC arrest warrant, and he strongly agreed with issuing it.

Nice lessons from NYC on Oxford Street "People didn’t go to Times Square to see the cars. They came to Times Square because it was the world’s stage. But it didn’t live up to its reputation."

100% I keep thinking about venn diagrams. The overlap of intolerance is large and all encompassing. Trying to focus on the Venn of tolerance UBI, trans rights, women governance of their medical care, housing for the vulnerable, healthcare and PEACE PEACE PEACE.
I hazard to say the Venn diagram of people demanding anti-trans policies because they are concerned with women & girls in sports and people cheering the head rodeo clown of fake wrestling dismantling the Dep't of Ed. that actually makes sports available to women & girls is tight overlapping circles.
