It's actually extremely hard to sue individual federal officers and may only be done under certain very specific circumstances. Unless Ross is criminally charged, it's very unlikely he'd be at any legal risk personally.
I'm so excited Fullerton's new urban trail is finally coming, connecting green space to downtown and providing a safe pedestrian pathway for families to get where they're going, in a part of town that historically hasn't gotten the support it deserves. A big thank you to my councilman Ahmad Zahra!
I saw so many people talking about how Mamdani and Lander were clearly running because they love their city and want to make life better there, while Cuomo seems to hate and fear it, and that feels like the key piece of this campaign that could be replicable by progressives everywhere
Alissa, it was so disappointing to hear the pod endorse the violence at the protests, violence that did not represent the vast majority of us. Burning Waymos, looting, stealing -- these all blurred the message and hurt DTLA fiercely. I hope you consider your words more carefully in the future.
Orange County, CA showed up
i think it’s cool that the furthest left people who have any relevance in american politics reverse engineered “ban renters from rich neighborhoods” from first principles.
Any word on the stadium? Seems like Arte has totally foreclosed any more discussion with the city.
I want the concept of inclusionary zoning to work, but then when I do the math, it really ends up just looking like a tax on renters
(policy illustrated here is 20% VLI @ HCD rents, rounded down)
"Hangups about motherhood" is a really weird and uncharitable way to describe life-threatening complications from pregnancy.
I legitimately don't understand why Noah Smith apparently has a huge beef with you (you starred in his last newsletter for this, in case you didn't know). It's super weird.
Honestly this whole city just needs to yank the cartridge out and restart the game.
Yeah the idea that LV-LA ranks #23 is wild to me.
After multiple hours of stubbed toes, rereading vague IKEA instructions, disassembling and reassembling after realizing I missed a step, and juggling a crying baby: finally out this bad boy together for our four year old. She's thrilled, obviously.
I got this for my brother for Christmas, but it's so good I think I need to get a copy for myself. Annotated with historical context, other writings, diagrams & maps — it's soooo good even beyond Grant's obviously spectacular prose.
Eggnog batch 1 is ready.
So proud of the great work happening in Minneapolis, which shows that boosting housing supply helps make homes more affordable.
Reading about dim sum while having dim sum. Basically incepting it at this point.
My city, Fullerton, is one of the worst offenders in CA's housing crisis. I'm watching a city council meeting to update our zoning to a common-sense middle ground, and almost every speaker (beside People For Housing OC!) is demanding their area be exempted, or the plan abandoned entirely. It's sad.
We're fighting for a pragmatic, liberal, and pro-abundance future for the Democratic Party that can restore voter's faith in the party's ability to govern.
There's no better time than now to join us by becoming a member of the Center for New Liberalism:

I'm unreasonably excited about this
The preschool drop-off line is just the devil showing us what Hell's like
