People will get sicker. More people will have heart attacks and lung disease and other health challenges because of pollution. People’s lives will get worse, and shorter. People you know. Maybe me. Maybe you.

Two victims of previous school shootings β€”Β Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School β€”Β are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

This piece is as good as people say it is. A fierce critique of zoning, by the former executive director of the zoning office in Baltimore.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Or we could just build more houses to increase affordability instead of enslaving us to debt.

If you put YIMBY policies on the ballot, they win. YIMBY is the silent majority. Congrats NYC!

Huge wins for clean energy in Virginia and New Jersey tonight. The Trumpists attacked on electrical costs - and got clobbered. People didn’t like Trump’s braindead effort to take away clean, affordable energy. This ends any talk of retreat on clean energy.

Crazy how much some media has normalized the idea that voters are taking a risk if they elect governors/mayors who will defy Trump. That he’ll threaten their funding, etc.

Try to imagine, say. Greg Abbott being asked if he’s worried that Biden will punish Texas over his lawsuits.

A complete perversion of our republic just like cancelling grants to blue states only.

The fact that most the mainstream media doesn’t even cover this blatant disregard for democracy is tragic.

Actually that’s the one part that is better on the hellhole called twitter. There’s some bangers in that mash of hate and brain rot.

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

This is west wing colonnade. East wing colonnade is enclosed. Doesn’t make it any less infuriating.

Sad there just isn’t enough foot traffic in Silver Spring and this was in corner of downtown that doesn’t get much attention.
