It’s the most solipsistic talking point imaginable, bought into and legitimated by many centrists, when the fact of the matter is that the entire cult of MAGA intensely hates America as it really is, while normie libs have 20th century American heroes and love the actual pluralism we’ve got.

The entire game of making right wingers “patriots” and liberals “America haters” is about gerrymandering what you’re allowed to be proud of in American history and what counts as hatred. Pride in The New Deal doesn’t count and hatred of immigrants and America’s largest cities doesn’t count either.

Small business owners are not experts on street design, parking policy, or transportation. Many of them barely know how to run their own businesses! Expecting trained professional planners to defer to their judgment is bananas.

I've become convinced that one of the biggest obstacles to better road design in commercial areas is well-off business owners who drive their BMW to work every day and find it impossible to imagine a customer who uses any other mode of conveyance to arrive at the shop.

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

want to reiterate what a breath of fresh air joining the liberal currents team has been. "a home for mere liberalism" doesn't mean i agree with everyone all the time--indeed, quite the opposite. but our core commitments to reason, rights, and respect are non-negotiable. www.liberalcurrents.com

A crucial part of this story, by the way, is the recognition that decent people standing up against evil people was essential. It still is. Jackson got through it both based on his strength of character and based on key people not putting up with bad behavior.

Thanks for Reggie Jackson for saying this, and contempt and defiance, in advance, to the worthless shitbirds who will say he shouldn’t have and that he oughta leave if he doesn’t like it. Regrettably those worthless shitbirds are now fairly mainstream. sports.yahoo.com/mlb-at-rickw...

Elon Musk is a closed-borders corporate-welfare king who always wants bigger subsidies from the state. The personal share that he'd like to claim is less like a typical American executive and more like a budding kleptocrat. Cato should be ashamed.
