So instead of going "okay, we'll wait until we have control and then institute straightforward solutions to these problems that we all pretty much agree on," they whip themselves into a tizzy thinking, somehow, that if they're *more extreme* then people will *totally listen to them faster*.

Changing zoning is only part of the equation. 🏗️ New Boston Indicators research finds that discretionary permitting can delay or derail housing even where zoning already allows it. The report examines six Massachusetts projects and where the process gets stuck.

Yeah, you can — have to, really — oppose the Israeli government, and the current racist status quo in Israeli society, without calling for the displacement and/or murder of 9.6m people.

It's a safety-net paradox. Blue State/Purple-State Rs have never actually felt the true pain of unfettered Republican rule like red-state republicans bc the Dems soften the impact. They feel safe voting R bc the Dems they hate make it safe for them to do so w/o suffering the consequences.

you have to do good policy because it's the right thing to do, and then you have to find a way to sell it* to the public because democracy and accountability are important, but you can't go chasing the public. *or, frankly, to do it without them noticing.

The Green Party's strategy of exit via vote withholding just didn't work. It didn't work at all. It couldn't have worked until the Clintonite triangulation stopped paying electoral dividends, and the reason that stopped working was because Tea Party. Nader caused nothing except the Iraq War.

Folks have poisoned themselves into believing that "status quo" literally means rock bottom, that there is no way anything can be worse than "status quo" and therefore any sort of change must necessarily be better than what is

When you see someone confuse a statement of how things are with a statement of how things should be, keep in mind that it probably isn't their fault. They just have oughtism.

Sometimes I feel like I’m one of the only people processing the death of journalism happening in real time. If a description of what is happening appeared in a dystopian novel it wouldn’t be out of place and everyone would know it was the death of the free press.

Scumbags who appeal to "the principles of Adam Smith" to contradict Smith's actual analysis are the perfect twins of the scumbags who appeal to a nebulous "Marxism" to contradict Marx's actual analysis. Karl Marx is Adam Smith's intellectual heir and everyone on all sides has to suck that up.

An underrated reason why America is unusually religious for a rich free country is that all faiths here had to adapt *quickly* to independent-minded women choosing exogamy and leaving the faith, or hollow out. They had to *compete* with the heretics/heathens next door in being tolerable and humane.
