okay, this is funny, though

“Housing for whom?” assumes a zero sum world in which we have to choose between building new market rate housing and building subsidized housing for poor people. No such tradeoff exists. We can let the market serve people who can afford market rate housing AND subsidize housing for those who can’t.

Page 34: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct."

Silver Linings Playbook - I love Jennifer Lawrence, and I had high expectations, but I thought it was a bad film - and The Imitation Game - which was aggressively mediocre and full of biopic cliches.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

There are an estimated 275,000 to 300,000 Americans who are living unsheltered on the streets. If we put all of them in luxury hotel rooms for $500 per night, it would cost the taxpayer around $50 billion per year. Homelessness is a policy choice.

I'm so happy about this result! Thanks to all the YIMBYs of NoVA who gave their time to make this happen, along with all of the Commonwealth Housing Coalition participants. 💫

SB 388, ‘Faith in Housing’ aka Yes In God’s Backyard, just passed the senate 🎉

Your daily reminder that Donald Trump is a monstrous racist and should be impeached for that alone. bsky.app/profile/jack...

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

If you don't build new housing, old housing becomes luxury housing, example 749,900. When Fairlington was converted to condos in 1972, the units went for around $32,000, which would be about $244,000 in today's dollars.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

YIMBYs of NOVA are thrilled to endorse @ebpforva.bsky.social for SD-39 & @kirkmcpike.bsky.social for HD-5! Sending such a pro-housing delegation to Richmond would be a boon not just to NOVA residents, but the entire Commonwealth. All questionnaires are online here: yimbysofnova.org/alexandria/2...

@ebpforva.bsky.social has long been a housing champion in Richmond. She knows the crisis requires an “all of the above” approach, from tenant protections & affordable housing to overall supply. She’s voted for every CHC bill she’s seen this year; we’re excited to see that continue in the Senate 👏🏼

Call Sen. Favola and urge her to vote YES on SB 388 - Faith in Housing! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Childhood was a political project, centuries of activism carving out time and space for young people to grow and learn. It's an unfinished project, and the right wing wants it ended when it's barely even begun.

I just made calls to pass Faith In Housing this year - including to @barbarafavola.bsky.social : actionnetwork.org/call_campaig...

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

I am grateful that the judge recognized the moral and legal incorrectness of Liam and his father’s detention, but we must dismantle the system that allowed this to happen.

We need the same compassion, fairness and collective action for all immigrants not just cute 5 year olds.

"The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children."

FREE LIAM (and everyone else)

it’s not an immigration crackdown it’s an attempted fascist takeover masquerading as an enforcement action over civil misdemeanor violations akin to parking tickets

Trump is a NIMBY

Once again, opposing housing near you is a fundamentally conservative proposition, and a lot of people on the broader left who share the thoughts in this video need to take some inventory of themselves.

VA House Dems just finished a presser where they talked about their immigration priorities. Several good bills getting prioritized, but no mention of those that'd abolish 287g agreements When asked by a reporter, they said "those will be discussed in committee." Good time to send your emails.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

“If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme.”

This isn’t over yet. There are still prisoners being held. American citizens. People with permits, or who were in the system following the rules. Warm bodies collected illegally and without care. This is still an ingoing crime until everyone is returned safely to their families and homes.

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back. Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

I voted against funding for DHS. Congress shouldn't pass funding for this lawless agency without major guardrails. And the House should impeach Kristi Noem. 4/4

@beyer.house.gov In case you didn't get the voicemail I left this morning - please join your colleagues to impeach Kristi Noem.
