It’s still a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history.

Please share it as much as you can.

You are never alone in your experience of suffering. This story resonates deeply for me. I hope it does for others reading it.

shoutout to @pbump.com for finding a couple urbanist memes from 1939. "death begins at 40" is a god-tier slogan for a campaign to lower speed limits, why aren't we using it s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

Originalism Is Going to Get Women Killed A federal court has ruled that a law barring domestic-violence offenders from owning firearms is unconstitutional.

Today the Supreme Court hears US v Rahimi, a case about the gun rights of domestic violence offenders

Originalism says disarming abusers is unconstitutional bc the country didn't historically do so

And as I said in The Atlantic, it's going to get women killed

'Arms race': Summit County kids say they carry guns for protection from other kids A juvenile defense attorney calls it an "arms race." When kids see others with a gun, they want an even bigger, more powerful weapon.

β€œWe as a society have failed these kids.” Such an important heartbreaking read.
