Actually we should execute (well, maybe reeducate) the people who have done this - the politicians at every level who prioritize city commerce over the lives of city residents and especially the lives of unhoused city residents. We need accountability for those actually in charge

Walsh sounds like an insane fascist today, but tomorrow you’ll be hearing your middle class liberal friends talking like this too. Nearly all Americans are taught every day (largely unaware they’re being taught) to blame poverty on the moral character of the poor.

Its funny when rw guys talk about urban planning because they have no understanding of history. There was a concentrated effort by unelected bureaucrats to make western cities drivable at the expense of walking & transit. They already limited where youre "allowed" to go w/o a car

The idea that neighborhoods should be walkable is lovely. The idea that idiot tyrannical bureaucrats can decide by fiat where you're "allowed" to drive is perhaps the worst imaginable perversion of that idea--and, make no mistake, it's part of a well-documented plan. twitter.com/KeillerDon/sta…

how lazy it is instead to ignore the context of one's actions, to dismiss the possibility of institutional failures, and to assume that society has already been perfected in some nostalgic past and individuals must conform or be punished.

Conservatives believe that when the left "blames society" it is so that we can lazily avoid personal responsibility, but it actually highlights an even greater burden: that we must unlearn our priors, think critically about our positions, & help each other transform the society.

It's much easier to blame society than self.

the overall effect of this incredible optimism is that "welfare" during climate crisis is assumed to be high, that costs from climate crisis are assumed to be low, and that we shouldn't try to address any issues. the status quo is apparently best for the economy and for you 🤥

Incredible work here, from using a broken gapminder link to dismiss the differences between GDP and QoL to estimating 10x GDP growth based on "faith in free markets" to guessing that equality *between countries will reach unprecedented levels. real high quality science here.

The “dip” in the total cost curve has become much shallower, and as we go toward more ambitious climate policies, the increase in total cost has become much steeper. Read more on climate policy in my peer-reviewed article: sciencedirect.com/science/articl

The right to strike is sacred. If we can't stop working when we're faced with unsafe or unfair working conditions, our only choice is to quit. Under capitalism someone even less fortunate will always take our place and accept those conditions, driving standards down for everyone.

a great example of how power and profit driven enterprises use racialized narratives to market their practices as natural and justifiable, and how that racism becomes obfuscated and deeply ingrained into our culture

Here's your reminder that the heavy association between Hawai'i & pineapples ("Hawaiian" pizza, etc) is racist, exploitive paradise propaganda. Pineapples are used to sell the fantasy of a tropical Hawaiian utopia to tourists. Factually, pineapples are native to South America. 🧵

If you care more about order than outcomes, no matter how bad the outcomes and how unfair the order, you're a conservative

I say this as someone who is not a conservative & disagrees with Kavanaugh on a whole lot: Harassing someone outside their family’s private residence is grotesque. It’s not healthy. And it says something that crossing this line is seen by many as virtuous. twitter.com/DouglasKBlair/…

many will recognize this argument that citizens are collectively responsible for their government as the one made by Osama bin Laden in September of 2001

The ban that will prevent Russians and Belarusians from competing may seem unfair. Yet it’s a necessary message: Even the most innocent Russians will be price-payers for the rapacious actions of Vladimir Putin’s regime. Read Sally Jenkins: wapo.st/3jWs3Qi

When you hear that an unhoused person “refused services” that includes... - refused to give up their pet to get a short-term hotel room - the shelter they were offered a space in isn’t safe for their gender/sexuality - couldn’t consolidate all their belongings into two bags

I know a fair bit about cookies. I spent a fairly large part of my life reading research about cookies. And I'm a good reader—it's part of my job. I'm not doing any baking on my own. The problem is that Nickelodeon's recommendations on sponge reproduction don't match the research
