As Secretary of State Colin Powell warned President George W. Bush before the invasion of Iraq, “You are going to be the proud owner of 25 million people. You will own all their hopes, aspirations, and problems. You’ll own it all." It's known as the 'Pottery Barn Rule': You break it? You own it.

Trump may be after oil, but when he asked American oil companies if they'd like to set up shop in Venezuela if he ousted Maduro, they said, "um... no?" 🤷‍♂️ www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

18 days ago, Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said of a possible confrontation with Venezuela: "If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress." But that was last year... www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

Stay tuned. 👀 😉 If you think we're not looped in to Zohran's administration and the amazing folks working to bring Progressive Abundance to life in NYC, think again! So, maybe a few, and maybe a virtual appearance. They are on their first month on the job 3,000 miles away. Happy to let 'em work! 😍

He's pretty busy right now, passing YIMBY executive orders. You know who he is affiliated with, though? His hand-selected YIMBY deputy mayor and YIMBY housing committee.

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

You can't just assign us candidates based on the characters you've invented for us in your head. 😂 You are certainly welcome to listen to 50+ hours of our podcast, though! You might be surprised... Or just do a little research into Zohran's deputy mayor, executive orders, & housing committee... 🤔

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Seriously! Where's that progress we've been promised from Abundance, a policy you heard about less than a year ago from notoriously bigoted right-wingers like... Ezra Klein? Is this a riddle? Perhaps a kōan? We're intrigued & have a similar question for you: what is the sound of one hand clapping?

A socialist should love Abundance! (And one does.) You can't do socialism if you can't make stuff. Can't redistribute funds until you raise them. Can't build subsidized public housing if it's also blocked by zoning & neighbor vetoes. Can't get a 21st century FDR if The New New Deal would be illegal!

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

You got us! Zohran just said "Abundance." Who knows what he means? Who knows indeed. Unless you scroll all the way to the... second image, and check the Executive Actions he signed on his first day in office... 🤔 For a guy who's faking it, he sure knows a lot about Jersey City and Tokyo...

Which is exactly why adding more residents and their tax revenue can help to pay for sidewalks, pavements, and streetlights while also creating demand and political pressure for increased public transit? Let's let the grannies live in the "granny flats" and not do redlining-again-but-woke?

010

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Except that that's not actually in evidence in the article. There are no experts quoted evaluating sewage and draining, and there are no statistics cited. The article quotes folks nearby fretting about this and wondering why their headcanon doesn't determine other peoples' lives. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

010

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

If more people need homes than there are homes, renters have to bid against each other, driving prices up like an auction as landlords collect. If there's more homes than people, landlords have to fight each other for renters or be left with nothing. It's musical chairs, and we're adding chairs.

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

What infrastructure does this article claim is adversely affected by ADUs? It seems to be mostly about parking and traffic. Residents say the roads are poorly maintained, but that pre-dates the ADUs. We recommend the city use the revenue from new residents to fix the potholes -- an upgrade!

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Progressive Abundance means that if you want to make life affordable, lift everyone up, dismantle the incumbent privileges that have pulled the ladder up, make landlords compete for us, and actually fight climate change, then we've got a plan for you. Festival means it's going to be fun.

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

See attached. ;) But more to the point: Abundance is an attempt to recognize that YIMBY is 100% right and ask: wait, where else does this apply? Is *that* why climate change deniers can build green energy faster than those of us who think it's an existential crisis??

000

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Totally. For us, it illustrates that "deregulation" just means "less law." For example, most folks on the left would certainly like to "deregulate" abortion in the deep South! We're pretty locked in on surging the creation of homes, green energy, and public transit -- the rest is normal politics!

010

YIMBY Democrats for America 🇺🇸🗽 @yimbydems.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

The thing about "deregulation" is that it very much matters whether what you are deregulating is corporations' ability to poison the water supply or everyone's ability to build apartment buildings -- including the government's ability to build public housing without nearby randos shouting it down!
