I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It's funny how NIMBYism is such a religious conviction for some people that developers will just say this worldwide without fear of repercussion.

The purpose of politics is to take control of state power and use it to implement policies that meaningfully improve your material circumstances. If your activist leaders aren’t working toward that, ask why.

drazan in the debate a few minutes ago mentioned she had a proposal to balance the ODOT budget with existing revenue and neglected to say that she made the math work on that proposal by inventing $50 million in imaginary revenue www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Oregon House Republicans confirm they made $50 million goof when dismissing need for transportation tax hike

The caucus acknowledged the error after The Oregonian/OregonLive pointed out the likely mistake.

The reality is that you can’t fund a cradle to grave welfare state just by taxing billionaires. Higher taxes on car dealers, landlords, mid-size business owners, doctors and dentists, lawyers and consultants, and other “Main Street millionaires” are needed - but Dems are afraid to speak up.

It cut funding to IRS because the assumption that the way to catch tax fraud is to hire tens of thousands of auditors to look through paper tax returns by hand is insane

Something that gets overlooked about the Auckland Upzoning is that it occurred right after 7 pre-existing district councils were amalgamated into a single unitary authority. The plan which did all the upzoning was literally called the Auckland Unitary Plan. Localism empowers NIMBYs.

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

This is one of those things that is genuinely hard to overstate: rural life in America is, in many ways, as globalized and homogenized as urban life, if not considerably more so. And that's largely down to the construction of a pan-"rural" identity dominated by a basically suburban group
