Everything makes sense once you realize all environmental organizations in the US are people who want the thing on the left but only for boomers.

The California Environmental Quality Act is bad for the environment because it gives litigious busybodies the power to delay and block environmentally friendly projects like bike lanes on the grounds that the government has not sufficiently analyzed the bike lanes’ “environmental impacts.”
sfchronicle.com
A Berkeley bike lane would eliminate 145 parking spaces. Residents are suing to stop it.
Plaintiffs argue that Berkeley City Council approved the Hopkins Street bike lane project without conducing necessary environmental reviews.

Fact that Obama’s healthcare plan was rightfully framed as a policy removing costs from employers and yet vociferously opposed by those same employers really kind of proved this in real time.

The defining feature of American political discourse is that when liberals are out of step with public opinion it is understood as a failure of liberalism; when conservatives diverge from public opinion it is interpreted as an indictment of society.

IMO one of the fatal flaws of the streetcar was the poor connection to Union Station. That has to be addressed in the Gold Line proposal. Ideally, with some sort of connection directly down to the Metro and train platforms!

One of the bleakest things about American politics is that we're reflexively anti expert on issues that truly have right and wrong answers, but are slavishly obsequious to experts in "the law and the constitution" despite that field being completely made up and fake.

Justice Thurgood Marshall, dissenting in Mobile v. Alabama, which gave us the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that the Supreme Court just nullified in Louisiana v. Callais. Every word applies to the current majority: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...
A screenshot of a dissenting opinion, which reads, in part:

"It is time to realize that manipulating doctrines and drawing
improper distinctions under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, as well as under Congress' remedial legislation
enforcing those Amendments, make this Court an accessory
to the perpetuation of racial discrimination."

A Democratic president with simple majorities in Congress could enact proportional representation for the House—no amendments required. 50%+1 could end the filibuster, expand SCOTUS, expand the House, and enact PR by state. And add new states like D.C. to rebalance the Senate while they’re at it

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Shame on Mendelson for saying this after ramming the deal through with no regard for detail. Hundreds of people signed petitions and sent literally thousands of emails during the Council’s deliberation urging them to reduce and relocate parking, and add a new metro station. He didn’t listen.

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210. $210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

12.7M acres of solar is is about 82% of the solar required to decarbonize the US in the Net Zero America E+ scenario (there's wind and existing nuclear and stuff in there too, but that's the solar portion). Or we can have 5% of our gasoline displaced.
