i understand your desire to use policy to reduce traffic fatalities but have you considered the possibility that trying to improve discrete aspects of society without first fixing all of society itself is problematic???

The ACLU has posted 17 sworn declarations from people locked up at the Trump Adminstration's largest immigrant prison camp, at Fort Bliss in Texas.
In World War Two, the same site was called the "Fort Bliss Enemy Alien Detention Station."

Yeah, dude, fascism in a liberal democracy isn’t conservative. There hasn’t been a conservative movement to speak of since Trump came on the scene.

Her question: if they treat a member of congress this way, how are they treating the defenseless people they kidnap?

There is a second implicit argument: nonwhite voters should count for less.
What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

these clowns are REALLY going to say that Texas’s map - which targeted majority minority districts - was NOT discrimination on the basis of race.
But they’ll say Louisiana’s map - drawn to comply with the Voting Rights Act and give Black voters representation- DID discriminate on the basis of race

Excellent episode and talks a lot about how clean energy advocates were able to work with the trades and how much the Governor's office has been supportive.
Today on Volts: while some blue states hedge on their green commitments, Illinois is doubling down, passing its third major energy bill in a decade. Among other things, this one empowers the state's utility regulator to directly procure clean energy. I get into it w/ two of its architects.
