History has proven time and time again that dumb bad things win all the time.
Fighting for policy and basic human rights is the best way to proactively address bad stuff.
Doesn't mean we'll win because our moral argument is better but because there was energy & strategy to stop terrible stuff.
And it still doesnt mean we have the power to change anything.

"In August, Sinema squashed a challenge to the “carried-interest” loophole that taxes private equity and hedge fund profits at a lower rate than other businesses. The move benefits only a handful of private-equity and hedge fund titans — most of whom are in New York and LA not Arizona which Sinema is supposed to represent. "

Not an article summarizing another article.
This is one of the biggest things I miss from twitter, being able to follow a bunch of reporters and news sources that link to contemporaneous news reports, in depth investigative journalism, and journals.
I feel like I'm getting stupider on here. Less up to date on what's going on. This was my biggest fear of #Musk buying twitter.
And it's happening.

We need to invest in up to date infrastructure.
Infrastructure and planning in the US is pathetically out of date. It's so out of date we can literally go almost anywhere else and learn from them.
We're so far behind just getting up to speed would save lives...the blueprints are there just dont plan like we're in the 1950s. #urbanism #urbanplanning #rail #transit

They’ve been around since 1964.
In 1903, a train went 128.4 miles an hour and on the front range in 2023, we’re fighting to get passenger rail that’s slower than driving.
Our infrastructure is embarrassing.
How about high speed rail?

When someone believes Democrats should help out the Republicans who tried to kill them 😂
Why and for what?
Republicans can find someone else if they want Dem support.
Why would Dems help a guy who threatened to kill the last Speaker?
Why is it always on Dems to rescue while giving excuses to Repugs?
