I've adopted this mindset and it's made me a better advocate. Now I go straight to the decision makers rather than wasting time trying to convince NIMBYs

E-bikes give people affordable, clean transportation. If kids are getting hit by pickup trucks, the answer isn’t to treat e-bikes like the problem; it’s protected bike lanes, safer crossings, lower traffic speeds, and infrastructure that keeps everyone separated from multi-ton vehicles.

This is in reference to one particular bad thing, but i think it's useful guidance for all sorts of circumstances

Great (if depressing) read on what it's like to listen to people bend themselves into incredible knots because they don't want to appear to be against paying taxes to build a library. www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/we-dont-deba...

We don’t debate the library tax

this is helpful because it makes something so clear -- all "zionists" benefit from white privilege because, of course, all "zionists" are white. perhaps the ultimate whites. perhaps they are the root from which all the evil of white supremacy stems from. perhaps...

I've been reading a lot about antisemitism recently (happy passover to me) and what I'm feeling really struck by is how unwilling so many people are to consider/interrogate their own biases when it comes to Jews

so fascinating to me when people's progressivism stops at bus riders Mink is a fierce advocate for the marginalized--unless they ride the bus

<2,000: how many people wrote letters of opposition about to the council about the University Blvd Corridor Plan. 229,289: how many times people boarded the M12-University Blvd bus in September 2025.

What other basic safety infrastructure do we leave up to a vote of regular residents?

I attended the Univ Blvd Corridor Plan hearing last night and gave testimony. Here are my thoughts as we approach Rosh Hashanah and the Days of Awe:

Isaiah 58:5: Is such the fast I desire,
A day for people to starve their bodies?
Is it bowing the head like a bulrush
And lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Do you call that a fast,
A day when GOD is favorable?
No, this is the fast I desire:
To unlock fetters of wickedness,
And untie the cords of the yoke
To let the oppressed go free;
To break off every yoke.

It is to share your bread with the hungry,
And to take the wretched poor into your home;
When you see the naked, to clothe them,
And not to ignore your own kin.
Then shall your light burst through like the dawn
And your healing spring up quickly;
Your Vindicator shall march before you,
The Presence of GOD shall be your rear guard.
Then, when you call, GOD will answer;
When you cry, [God] will say: Here I am.
If you banish the yoke from your midst,
The menacing hand, and evil speech,
And you offer your compassion to the hungry
And satisfy the famished creature—
Then shall your light shine in darkness,
And your gloom shall be like noonday.

has anyone made a joke yet about eye exams being the original peer review

Not to get theological on main but MoCo politics have really pushed me to embrace the core jewish value of "welcoming the stranger" over the more popular jewish value of "tikkun olam" (repairing the world)

May 2025 be the year we stop freezing neighborhoods in amber and start building more homes where people want to live.

We need to talk about how the Airbnb Christmas commercial is NIMBY

Lotta people who say they care deeply about climate change are also entirely unwilling to even consider taking away parking spots to create bike lanes, let alone give up their SUVs!
