Obama's enlightened foreign policy: https://t.co/Xd0HHpCo3T Can you even imagine Trump making these decisions? Can you even imagine?

@Baxter Could be argued the first domino in the sequence was the 1997 trade of Bobby Jackson to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for James Cotton and the 2nd Round Pick that became Rashard Lewis, as per https://t.co/50k4FHfSLw

@chrislhayes The party that was hailing record stock market prices amid 0% interest rates as the mark of a healthy economy might be out of its depth on this one

@KatrinaWTE @kenklippenstein Very well said by Buttigieg. Fun thought experiment though-- if all eight of those cars were self-driving Teslas, would there have been an accident?

As I engage in discussions around housing policy in LA, I’ve been thinking a lot about the story of LA’s first zoning plan from a century ago.

To me, this story has a lot to tell us about how we got to our dire housing situation – and maybe how we can do better. (thread)

The entirety of Paris, Barcelona, and Manhattan can all fit inside the land dedicated to surface parking in Los Angeles County (101 sq. mi). If all the surface parking lots in the county were converted, you would house an additional 5.85 million people, a 58% increase.

We’re living in a remarkable moment where every major progressive/ liberal Democrat agrees we cannot solve our segregation, homelessness, and climate crises until we get serious about ending exclusionary zoning.

And yet so many local dems haven’t caught up. 🧵

Santa Monica is home to me. It taught me to value racial and economic justice, environmental sustainability, and the role of government in helping our most vulnerable.

It’s time we live up to those values. I hope you’ll join me ❤️

@ZachLowe_NBA So if the Clippers started up 28-0, they would have won by...47? Hopefully no one bet their live savings. To your credit, the one "when pigs fly" caveat was a "Lou Williams Game"

@Uber No, that was your crisis PR team's reaction to your company's reaction. #deleteuber

If someone's political stance requires preventing scientists from informing you about your own planet, that's not politics, it's oppression.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.
