It is so good that the Boston Globe is spotlighting this for us.

@andrewnbrinker traveled the country, did the research, and here shines the light on zoning:

OMG! So not only were Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and leading culinary schools early paid influencers for the gas industry but also…Julia Childs. Dammit. 😢

Start questioning why you feel emotionally attached to those (toxic) blue flames and are so sure you can’t cook without them.

MBTA officials have known since *April 2021* that the Green Line Extension didn't meet construction requirements. It opened anyway.

Gov. Healey said "senior MBTA officials" under Charlie Baker "knew" & "did not disclose" issues with the tracks

“The fallout from these outrageous home prices is a sort of economic climate change, steadily making much of the region uninhabitable for those of modest incomes.”

Boston Globe’s Spotlight series on housing and zoning has begun!!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The idea that GOP are about to nominate Jim Jordan of all people (yes, Jan 6th Jim Jordan, ban-all abortions-from-conception Jim Jordan, sexual abuse coverup Jim Jordan) for *Speaker of the House* in an attempt to save their majority… they deserve to lose.

With the proposed #NewtonMA village center zoning we have a chance to make Newton truly an #agefriendlycommunity

Prívate jet expansion is a luxury our climate can’t afford. #StopPrivateJetExpansion at Hanscom or anywhere! ⁦@350Mass⁩ ⁦@MothersOutFront⁩ ⁦@Massport⁩ ⁦@MassGovernor⁩

[Amy Dain @amydain]

Very good the Boston Sunday Globe is featuring this problem: suburbs have been using zoning for decades to make sure new apartments do not draw children.

Clarence Thomas must resign and Congress must pass a judicial code of ethics.

[Engine 6 @Engine_6]

Engine 6 enthusiastically endorses Dan Gaynor (Ward 2) and Martha Bixby (Ward6) in tomorrow's Newton preliminary elections.

Gaynor and Bixby understand that for Newton to be a truly welcoming and diverse community, we need more housing, both market-rate and affordable.

My 3rd grader has a headache, is lethargic and doesn't have an appetite. This is what a day at a school that's ill-equipped for heatwaves will do—and it's something we should expect more of. https://t.co/Vm8AbPPRkt

“The sky won’t fall.” Good piece by @ThePlumLineGS.

Rugby doesn’t need fossil fuels, neither does our planet.

The only way to win the game for climate justice is to kick fossil fuels out of the field.

Here’s how you corrupt a country using the Supreme Court: first — obviously — you get a bunch of your friends on to the Supreme Court (whole separate scheme how that was done).

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

This is back-to-school in America thanks to the GOP.

[Urban Cycling Institute 🚲  @fietsprofessor]

Every time someone says that 'reducing the role of the car will need radical changes' show them this.

Creating current car dependency was only possible with a massive, decade-long and destructive effort to erase the city as we knew it.

If the Biden administration wants to meet its ambitious goal to produce 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030, then Congress should repeal the Jones Act, William Groshek writes.
