High speed rail is a non-trivial effort with massive construction impacts and steep costs but it's never going to be cheaper, so governments should really start a semi-permanent program of building the most obvious corridors...or are we just going to keep flying from Seattle to Portland forever?

It was a hard week, but journalists rose to the challenge in many different ways.
Many orgs had prepared to resist any attempt to lie about what happened on 1/6/21, and were ready when the WH did so:

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.
