This insistence that crime and disorder aren't really issues in American cities, when in fact many cities just basically decided to stop doing law enforcement post-2020, just feels very Orwellian and tone deaf.
Modern dads are more helpful than fathers in any historic or prehistoric human society ever, period, and there are no close 2nd place medals. Men in the modern industrialized world are more helpful at home than has ever been observed in any primate species
We should get medals.
@nahmias For what it’s worth we walked about a mile every day both ways here in Albany when our older kids were 4. It was a little tough at first but it is doable. Hope you have better luck with the waitlist
@FreeRangeKids This pamphlet from 1951 cites a mother’s insistence on walking with her third-grader to school as evidence on the mom being overbearing.
Judge bars Jewish prosecutor from prosecuting pro-Palestinian protestors. This is one of the most disturbing developments among a bevy of disturbing developments. https://t.co/M2nCccgLOK
My original headline for this piece was "Walkability is for Kids."
I mean it.
It's nice if you, grownup, can walk to work.
It's absolutely crucial that kids be able to walk to school or the playground or at least their friends' houses. https://t.co/hCh8uLPsm0
Missoula, a city of 80,000, just legalized apartments everywhere, eliminated parking minimums, and removed density caps.
If a small Montana city can overhaul its zoning code, San Diego has no credible excuse not to.

Never using your beautiful buildings for sweetgreen is how you lose your beautiful buildings. It’s like having a pile of wedding china in a cabinet for which no occasion is good enough.
Everyone who cares about climate should understand this. Texas, with no pro-climate policies, has blown passed California in clean energy. In large part because Texas has less red tape and makes it easier to build.
Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas shitheads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care.
Where’s my party’s condemnation?
WANTED FOR HATE CRIME CRIMINAL MISCHIEF: On five separate occasions between May 3 and May 4, swastikas and antisemitic statements were spray-painted at several locations in Queens. Anyone with info is asked to DM @NYPDTips or call 800-577-TIPS (8477).
Multiple synagogues and private homes in Queens were vandalized overnight with swastikas and other antisemitic graffiti. @Lynn4NYC, @PhilWongNYC and I are at one of the sites, Congregation Machane Chodosh, in Forest Hills now.
When rabbis and congregants arrived to pray this morning, they expected to be met with their usual loving community. When a family woke up, they were prepared to begin an otherwise normal week. Instead, they were met with terrifying signals of hatred and threats of violence.
We have visited some of these locations and are in contact with the NYPD, which is investigating and searching for at least four individuals responsible for the terrible incidents. The graffiti will be removed once the investigation is complete.
With antisemitism on the rise here and across the globe, we will always stand up for our Jewish community and fight back against hate.
