Wrong. Conservatism is the belief that there are in groups who the law protects but does not bind, and out groups who the law binds but does not protect. Conservatism is fully compatible with the fascism we see now.
🔔 I’m thrilled to announce that I’m running for State Rep! We have accomplished an enormous amount of progressive change in Somerville over the past eight years, and I am fired up to bring this work to the State House. I’m so excited to start knocking doors and earning your votes.

oh this is great! I’m not in Ben’s ward but have appreciated the way he’s shown up for our neighbors on city council.
Mr. Eliason, who advocates allowing single-stair construction for small multifamily buildings as a solution to the housing crisis, said he learned how common the design was outside the United States while working in Germany in 2019. After seeing an 11-story tower his firm at the time had designed, Mr. Eliason recalled, he turned to his boss and said: "Something is wrong here. Where's your other stair?" "He's looking at me, and said: 'What are you talking about? If there was another stair, there wouldn't be any room for the homes'"
Single-stair gets the New York Times treatment. @holz-bau.bsky.social reminds us why they call the last line the kicker: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/b... (gift link)
#mapoli this is for you
Wow! Does not bode well!
Where is this happening?
That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.
We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
Damn can i get paid for my shit posts and lack of knowledge
This fuckin carpetbagger is from Massachusetts
If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there
DESTROY THEM
Yay!
i think most rational, well-informed people of any current or former gender can agree saving young men from their stupidest and most harmful young male impulses is the oldest and most important reason for society to exist at all
Cities lose so much in property tax generation, cost of utility construction and lost transit fare revenue by refusing to allow density in most of the city
reading "Bombing to Win" on the subway and shaking my head to show everyone I'm against bombing to win
*Some* US consumers.
They are all our babies.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
“I can predict for the most part these units get bought up & rented out to a highly transient population that does not care about the overall well-being of the neighborhood or the families that put roots down here.”

To my followers and the global community of proximity and livable-city lovers: follow and support the Urban Truth Collective 👍
My friend @brenttoderian.bsky.social is one of the founders: "A better world requires great cities, communities, streets and the path to get there starts with the truth".
If the major Democratic donors took even 25% of the $1B they gave to the Harris campaign and used that to build out their own news operation, it would be a massive benefit to the country *and* to Democratic candidates.
damn we're doing this anti-union shit again
A huge redevelopment with 1,408 apartments has been re-approved by the Newark Central Planning Board. The original approval was blocked by a lawsuit from a left-NIMBY coalition last year, but the four towers, rising to 30 and 26 stories, can now be built. jerseydigs.com/450-market-s...
A new proposal calls on the city to fund spay and neuter surgeries as well as low-cost veterinary clinics and pop-up pet food pantries to help keep animals with their families.

One of the reasons I think Newsom will prove himself juiceless in any primary (if he makes it that far) is that there is no actual market among Dem primary voters for this kind of Yglesias-brained, internet-poisoned triangulating.
I agree and also NO NO NO. It would not be hard for Massachusetts to close Burlington. It is out of compliance with several codes. The reason Mass politicians won't close it is a lack of political will. They could enforce rules and codes tomorrow. Moulton lacks political courage but loves a camera
If California and other relatively LGBT-friendly states want to be helpful, they're going to need to build a lot more housing.
