I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

Why is the neighborhood with apartment buildings not a "neighborhood district?" And for that matter, why are those building types separate? Why are the apartment buildings next to the freeway?

Thanks to everyone who supported the RiverHouse redevelopment during the long process leading up to the first approval on Saturday! Shout out to first-time public speaker Maggie Curran: "[W]e have an obligation to promote the development of housing in Metro-accessible Arlington.” #yimbysofnova

Listening to public comment for a development project with 700+ units and most comments are about 6 spaces of unofficial street that could be lost 🙄

Not something we have to worry about here in #ArlingtonVA because our county government maintains a list of current engagement opportunities on this webpage: www.arlingtonva.us/Government/T...

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

Feels worth pointing out that the entire reason Trump put the national guard into cities was bc they were hoping something violent would happen to some of them.

If you are concerned about the current effort to change Arlington’s from of governance, please add your name to this Open Letter. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

just going to keep hammering this home - if US politicians actually want more 3- and 4-bedroom homes in multifamily housing... single stair is how you do it. the shaded units here are all 3-bedroom homes. good luck doing this in a double loaded corridor. note they are all dual aspect as well

This is the ultimate “bring back a past I’m nostalgic for without recreating any of the material conditions that made that possible.” Peak MAGA brain.

If you live in Arlington, you can share your thoughts about this here: us.openforms.com/Form/c616040...

Ava Heiden is for real

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten. For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

My piece is up on Commonplace! If you are still teaching students that the 3/5 clause counted the enslaved as "three-fifths of a person," time to update those lecture notes! commonplace.online/article/not-...

I want housing yes I do, I want housing how ‘bout YOU!

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

“We’re excited to start on the next chapter of housing reform, which should include the launch of Zoning for Housing’s promised second phase” - me

The crisis of elite impunity that is ruining our society cannot be more clearly or convincingly demonstrated than with the fact that all of these people wrote all this stuff into an email and hit Send.

Tell the County Board to create a vibrant, diverse, sustainable, and inclusive Arlington where housing is abundant and nobody has to depend on a car!

The first memorable experience I had after moving to the DC area in 2015 was walking by the Supreme Court building and seeing the plaintiffs leaving Court after a day of arguments. Such beautiful families. Love is love. Glad to hear SCOTUS isn't undoing this important decision (for now).

The fear of having to fight leading us to unconditional surrender.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

The good news is that Trump is very unpopular and his actions are wildly unpopular but the bad news is that a lot of craven people were willing to go along with a lot of really bad stuff that will and has hurt a lot of people. Also a lot of billionaires proved themselves to be huge cowards.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Carve it on your heart: when they say they hate "liberal feminists", they mean they hate women

@abigailspanberger.com: "Virginia voters made our choice tonight, and that choice was loud and clear. We are going to work to lower costs of renting, buying, or staying in your home. We are going to cut red tape and build homes families can actually afford."

Democrats notched big wins around the country in yesterday’s election – but another trend, nationally and locally, is that pro-homes candidates also prevailed.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

YIMBY-endorsed housing champion wins!

Kids are in bed, let the Standard Time games begin

Ghazala Hashmi is an American name. Pass it on.

Halloween mood

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"

Every state with a Democratic AG or governor is suing Trump over the SNAP pause starting on November 1. It’s a really good reminder of the importance of democratic attorneys general and governors. I don’t think it’s been as clear before this year of the importance of the AG office.
