Tonight, we got results that were even better than we hoped, and it’s likely to only get better.

Seattle, you showed up!

It’s clear that voters want change.

This is your city.

Join the campaign, and let’s get this done!

had Biden randomly wandered on the White House roof shouting at reporters about nuclear weapons, Jake Tapper would drop everything to pitch a new series of books and Hannity would anchor ongoing special coverage until 2029

but when Trump does it it's just Trump being Trump!

A great start, even with some expected opening day hiccups. In the 4 days since permits, our organizer Julie sourced the Wk1 vendors & even set up tents herself! Next Saturday we’ll have even more vendor stalls, live entertainment & lots more locally-made items you can’t find anywhere else. #NewWest

And that over the millennia famous writers-from Homer to Austen, Sappho to Hemingwayβ€”had lived on this same piece of land, visited these sites, and left their thoughts inscribed in stone.

This puts an unbearable burden on current-day events in China.

Over the centuries, these places of memory have come to blanket China's physical and mental landscape. For all the invasions, foreign rulers, and divisions, it is still a land of memory stretching thousands of years. Part of this is because the physical past is so present in China.

In Western terms, it would be as if the civilizations of ancient Greece, Rome, and Europe used the same script and cultural references and were transplanted into one geographic area about the size of the United States. Imagine if educated Americans could read ancient Greek, Latin, and most modern European languages, and that many key artifacts of these erasβ€”the Acropolis, the Colosseum, Chartres, and Auschwitz-were located within the continental United States.

Ok, it’s more than a tad facile with the alliteration, but I’ve been thinking about how different levels of gov need to engage with the housing crisis in a way that is vertically integrated.

Feds: Fix Finance
Province: Neutralize Nimby
City: Zoom Zoning

"Additional games in British Columbia would not only be possible, but they would be incredibly welcome," Eby said.

"We've actually written to FIFA to say if for whatever reason they need to move games from any other locations, British Columbia stands ready to host," he added.

A polemical drama group known as the 7:84 Theatre Company was formed in 1971, its name derived from the then widely accepted figure that 84 percent of Scotland's land was owned by just 7 percent of the people.

The legacy of past injustices haunts South Africa: most notably, the Native Land Act of 1913, which restricted Black people to living in just 13 percent of the colonial territory, and the reality that

during the apartheid years some 85 percent of the land was owned by the tiny white minority.

In 2017 a survey showed that nearly three-quarters of private farmland in South Africa was owned by whites, who make up just 9 percent of the population.

Odd coincidence or colonial tendency?
