Suburban residents often worry that incremental housing will turn their small towns into big cities, yet many of them were once more populated and filled with compact, mixed-use neighborhoods. This traditional development style was, and still is, the backbone of strong towns.

The solution will never be a louder bell, a stronger helmet or brighter clothing. The solution will always be political will to make real change. Everything else is a distraction and victim blaming. Enough already.

Just as an onlooker watching all of this explode in real time, I feel like one could make a very convincing argument that Singal and Chait have both become anti-trans activists. This level of obsession while refusing to talk with actual trans people is beyond a “beat.”

Defend the Atlanta Forest

@defendATLforest

This movement is resisting unbridled police authoritarianism & racist brutality. The Atlanta Police are out of control. They call in Georgia State Patrol as their shocktroops. They have killed a protestor, attacked a music festival, and charged dozens with domestic terrorism.

It’s getting really fascist really fast in Atlanta. Mass and indiscriminate domestic terrorism charges. Activists arrested for littering. College students intimidated by 100s of police with zip ties, assault rifles and K9s while rallying and marching. #StopCopCity

Chait is a good example of this process because he is, at root, a credulous rube who will look for anything he can find to defend his opinion, regardless of how obvious the lie is. he probably really does believe the helicopter thing, and nothing will change that now.

Let's be clear that the Nazis at CPAC aren't talking about Trans folk the way Hitler talked about Jews: they're talking about Trans folk THE WAY HITLER TALKED ABOUT TRANS FOLK. They're not adapting the Nazi agenda, this is the Nazi agenda.

The nazis' first targets were communists, trans people, and the disabled. The GOP is stoking panic about communists and trans people, and Marjorie Taylor Green is trying to expand that to include the disabled. This is not a coincidence. It's an echo.

You cannot “ban” transgender people. What you can do is police gender. Force dress codes around what men are women are “supposed” to wear. These kinds of laws existed in the near past and will in the near future. That future will be violent against gender nonconformity.

They have picked genocide of trans folks as their core fight for 2024. If you are not standing up for trans rights at this moment in history, you are enabling fascists in a deadly campaign against the very lived existence of a marginalized community.
