The Plot to Enslave America. Harsh treatment of student borrowers both makes those currently in the labor pool more willing to submit to exploitation and future workers less likely to go to college (where they could compete with the aristocrat children of the elite). Big win for the oligarch class

rather, they are in some deep sense priests of the american civic religion, responsible for performing the rituals of that civic religion. and one of the most fundamental promises of america is that it is a land of equality for all. a land of equal freedom, equal respect, equal citizenship.

Holy shit.

A trifecta in Texas basically lets us permanently control the House.

The fallacy of the climate movement's electric car advocacy is belief it's faster to get people into EVs than into walkable homes where they can drive less. The reality is it's probably ten times faster to build homes in walkable neighborhoods than to convince people to buy electric cars.

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

This UCLA team is a Woke 2 indicator

peter thiel is another one of those guys who we are supposed to think is brilliant but every time he opens his mouth my first thought is “this guy sounds like an idiot”

Great night for the agenda

I was asked about by a pro-life student why he should support me…

I believe that all people should be free to live and work where they want to, irrespective of legal and cultural borders. This includes people who I personally do not want to hang out with.

“Climate Action” is just expanding freeways

UC Davis clearly wore SMU out last week

Chris Simms my GOAT. He's 100% spot on here

Stop calling this a DC makeover. This is an illegal desecration of our capital and a huge waste of American families’ money. DC is sacred ground, and we shouldn’t minimize the real damage being done.

Great reminder that the ongoing and intensifying American affordability crisis cannot be solved without major land-use changes (ending sprawl, accelerating infill development at scale) that enable people to ditch their cars and access cheaper/more sustainable mobility modes

W/o getting drawn into the "seriously or literally" / "it'll never happen" trap, we need to stomp *hard* on the continuing effort to undermine Article 1 power of the purse by saying that this or that revenue stream makes something outside the normal budget process. 1/ www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

One thing that really worries me about the future is that the US national debt might actually become a real problem, and while Trump is blowing a hole in the budget a lot of Dems are telling us they can build a Nordic welfare state while cutting all our taxes.

Donald Trump is destroying the national capital to build Trump monuments. I wish liberal leaders would stop acting like it’s embarrassing to care. It’s an abomination, just like the war, the corruption, the racism.

that small upward spike there in 2021-22 is like half of what drove the billionaire class completely nuts

California's ruling Democrats are just fundamentally unserious about governing this state. They pulled the coward's veto on a bill that'd make it easier to build condos.

“No, we stole that term from you Black folk. And now it’s ours, because we use it. We use it to mean that the concerns and perspectives of you Black folk are annoying or wrong or dangerous, as a way of ignoring and dismissing those concerns and perspectives. Like I’m doing now—does that make sense?”

UC DAVIS SURVIVES! They beat the Vikings 31-24.

So this is MAHA, then, right? Just another Trump scam that kills people? So many diseases coming back, so many product recalls, so many new dangers—almost like Trump, RFK Jr., and Musk are three creepy bozos who spent all of 2025 destroying our government

It’s weird how stays that benefit Trump are always kept in place and stays that stop him are always lifted. It’s almost as if there’s some of pattern behind legal procedure at work….

When it comes to legalizing missing middle housing, the details matter. In Sacramento, as in many other cities, overly restrictive massing/design rules have resulted in few units getting built. My latest over on Substack: mnolangray.substack.com/p/whos-afrai...

“having a bizarre obsession with a daddy figure is not uncommon in right-wing households” good point Amy, people on the right are freaks. they’re freaks and they’re worse than us.

Vote blue no matter who in November. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/u...

Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.

God this is so, so good.

College kids also actually live in the place where they go to school Plus the “wishes” they’re “overcoming” here are NIMBY policies so bad that they’re driving students to homelessness. Sorry but it’s reasonable to expect some of the wealthiest cities in California to allow more housing!

College students not only do live in the towns where they go to school, but many end up staying and working for the universities post graduation. NIMBYs routinely vote against the interests of future students, and current students should vote in their interest and those of future students

assigning and writing a story like this validating an invented and bigoted narrative propogated by mamdani's enemies about him is a choice — one they repeatedly make for progressive politicians and never make for republicans

The more I've learned about how US building codes work, the more scandalized I've become. It almost makes zoning look good! Our codes, which are owned by a private entity, are updated constantly, with almost no research or cost-benefit analysis... www.housingwire.com/articles/mod...

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

Basic rules of society that we need to re-establish post Covid: - You actually have to stop for red lights and stop signs. - If you want to watch videos or listen to music in a shared public space, you need to use headphones. - Your pet does not need to go everywhere with you. - Don’t litter.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a CA publication speak plainly about both the stakes (and the basic distributional politics involved) The FAIR plan is a ticking time bomb and the primary problem is it promises to insure uninsurable property for rich people. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Thanks to a pro-growth local culture and advocacy by YIMBY groups like @sacyimby.bsky.social, California's last great middle-class metropolis will not be going down the inequality-and-stagnation doom loop of the coast. www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/n...

in a lot of ways the current republican government is just the worst, extractive red state governance taken national. total hostility to public goods, total indifference to long-term investment, and a monomaniacal interest in using the state to enrich private benefactors

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

LOCAL KID

YIMBYism is absolutely a precondition for decarbonizing the United States and it drives me insane that a lot of legacy climate orgs, particularly here in California, remain hostile to dense housing construction. www.sightline.org/apartments-a...
