A minor thing, but I hope the NIMBYs who typically scream that safe streets and housing advocates are just paid shills or in the pocket of Big Bike or whatever understand that they're a lot closer to Trumpism than they probably care to admit.

Remember, per testimony before the J6 committee, Trump told officials to remove screening equipment at the Ellipse rally meant to prevent people from bringing in firearms.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

People love to hand-wring about bike lanes hindering emergency responders, but it's always cars -- parked or otherwise that cause issues.

Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

I can’t imagine how busy downtown would be if it wasn’t a crime-ridden hellscape with no parking… it is bustling and awesome here right now with people who obviously don’t care about walking around, risking their personal safety 🙄 #a2council

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It is incredibly important that #A2Council adopts a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that addresses exclusionary zoning & embraces housing opportunity. But don’t just take my word for it. Listen to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (@warren.senate.gov) & Fmr. HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge: youtu.be/41zdcPJcTuM

Dear WH Press Corp You should be ashamed of yourself. Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him. ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents Hold him accountable for the lies. Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these. Demand the proof

Translation: they gave him a plane and filled his family’s pockets

Really worried about the escalating situation in Chicago tonight. Here are some accounts to follow. Make sure to amplify what is happening. And likely coming to your city soon.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and … if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"

“Does it make sense to build housing in residential neighborhoods?” is a question that answers itself.
