Americans really do love to work. If they didn't, then they'd be fighting for worker protections like Europe has.

People act like you need a huge population to have rail, but #Germany moves people around smaller towns just fine by rail.

I'd bet that a lot of that inefficiency was built in as a precondition of its passage. That's how it works in red states. Let blue islands implement "woke" policies, but only in ways that kneecap them from the beginning, so you can campaign against their "failure" in a few years.

Edited for clarity.

I understand the impulse to call them inherent, but they're really just consequences of the same bad policy that kept people off public transit for 60 years.

Implement mixed-use zoning with rent controls, and I think you'll find that not everybody wants to have a lawn.

And do I need to explain why being outside for several minutes isn't as much of an issue in places with lots of tall buildings?

A new bill in Congress would extend some U.S. military benefits to the estimated 20,000 Americans currently carrying out the Gaza genocide as members of the Israeli military.

I know the Brits aren't very enthused by the idea of #nationalservice, but as an American I've always admired countries with the maturity and wherewithal to implement it. We couldn't even dip our toes into universal health care (ACA) without sparking a national anti-government rebellion.

Our young people aren't doing any of those things, in part because education and social mobility have been decimated. And we've allowed it, because we no longer have any shared commitments (education as personal investment, not a public good) . . . which is a problem I think could be remedied by national service.

@stuart @catbuttes
Right. I have a more expansive notion of national service that includes other things than military.

President Biden, at a campaign fundraiser in Georgia, says former President Trump is “unhinged.”

What has done that's worse than what did? I'll start. He went out of his way to bypass to give arms and money to a country that was clearly committing war crimes.

Anyone want to add?

The police attacks on the #studentprotests, which #Biden went out of his way to endorse before the nation, are at least comparable to attacks on BLM protests under Trump.

Biden appears ready to sanction the #ICC, the international court that prosecutes genocidal fascists.

If u support #JoeBiden for #potus, then you support removing an international check against dictators of the likes of #Trump. It's time for Democrats everywhere to admit that our most important business in #Chicago this August must be choosing a replacement for #GenocideJoe

It's probably best not to trust any Israeli voices on the state of things in or . Even this Israeli "scholar," who admits that Israelis are almost unanimously pro-genocide, is pushing the "sexual violence" lie about Oct. 7.

"The Israeli government is responding to the ICC bid to issue arrest warrants for its leaders with a “political blitz” aimed at undermining and isolating the court"
"Israel’s foreign ministry is also considering a series of measures...these include the establishment of a situation room geared towards getting pro-Israel advocates around the world to repeat the Israeli line both diplomatically and in the media"

Once again, The New York Times has released a big battlegrounds poll with some troubling results.

We wanted to share a few quick thoughts on what’s in the poll, how to read it, and what this means for our strategy (TL;DR: Don’t panic but DO get involved). 🧵 https://indivisibleteam.medium.com/lets-talk-about-that-bad-new-york-times-poll-4923d18995f3
