Patiently waiting for Babylon (2022) to gain the cult following it deserves so I can rewatch it in theaters.

[VICTORY ALERT] AB 130, which creates a broad CEQA exemption for infill housing projects, has been signed by Governor Newsom. Because it is part of the budget, it is effective immediately.

For years CEQA has been a tool used by NIMBYs-under the guise of caring about the environment-to prevent new housing. Burdensome CEQA rules have almost certainly increased sprawl and, ironically, led to worse environmental outcomes. This will lead to greater density and much needed housing. 🍾πŸ₯‚

This is a big fucking deal for California housing. California needs more housing and this is a huge step to achieve that goal.

9/ The data is clear: ideological moderation offers diminishing returns. To win, Democrats need strategies that excite their base, speak to the politically alienated, and meet the moment with urgencyβ€”not defend the old status quo. Authenticity beats triangulation.

I’m literally eating leftovers right now. I imagine this is something Denver locals would have never dreamed of a few years ago

Federalism is cool and all until you try to collect data and realize nothing is standardized.

I am especially grateful to all my peers, friends, family, and faculty that helped me along the way. In particular, I thank Jennifer Fitzgerald, Josh Strayhorn, and especially @aesokhey.bsky.social who put up with my half-baked ideas and pushed me to match his tempo.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?

Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧡

Two-panel graph analyzing U.S. House Elections from 2006-2024. Left panel shows Democratic vote share increases as turnout gap with Republicans narrows, with a positive trend line (46-56% on y-axis). Right panel shows Democratic vote share decreases as party positioning moves from liberal to conservative, with a negative trend line. Election years are plotted as dots, with blue dots (2006, 2008, 2018) indicating Democratic House majorities and red dots indicating Republican majorities. Both graphs demonstrate that Democrats perform better with higher turnout and more liberal positioning.

1/🧡 Following up on our study featured in NYT today, this figure provides a macro-level view:

Dem vote shares rise with turnout parity (left) but fall with party-level ideological moderation (right). This suggests mobilizing base voters > persuading swing voters by moving to the center.
