Thinking back to a year ago, when Ezra Klein did a podcast with Ross Douthat & said that to be competitive Democrats should run anti-abortion candidates in Ohio & Kansas.

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

reading over Malliotakis v. Williams and lowkey think New York courts/the NY Redistricting Commission should be like...since the Supreme Court clearly lacked jurisdiction to intervene in the case at this time, we are treating it as the nonbinding advisory opinion that it is, thanks for the input tho

When I was in New Hampshire a couple weeks ago, a local bar had printed these out, and also had a QR code for a site where people could report ICE sightings. Normal people trying to be good to one another (Mr. Rogers’ “helpers”) are keeping me sane.
You have constitutional rights:
• DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door.
• DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent.
• DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer.
• It you are outside of your home, ask the agent it you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly.
• GIVE THIS CARD TO THE AGENT. If you are inside of your home, show the card through the window or slide it under the door.

There are only two options here 1- people who live in built up areas subsidizing people in high wildfire risk areas (which to be fair is a combo of rich people and low income rural areas) 2- insurance fund goes bankrupt regularly and has to be bailed out by state general fund
