Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

People need to understand why so much land in the west ended up public. It has a certain quality that makes it very beautiful to visit and difficult to settle. Recreation is its perfect use.

The great crime of our postwar political class is the total destruction of most American cities as a viable place for a family. There are 15,000 vacants in Baltimore including brownstones & water views. How about taking control of those instead of robbing beautiful wilderness?

This is all wild national forest in the San Juan and Rio Grande National Forests. No affordable housing will be built here cause no working class people would move here cause there's no jobs here. As soon as this is sold, fences go up and nobody has access. It will all be closed.

Vance Boelter was trained at a Bible college that believes Christians should take over the government. He preached that message overseas. Then he acted on it. His actions weren't just "politically motivated," they were religiously motivated. friendlyatheist.com/p/from-mission…

“The dose makes the poison.” - Paracelsus Abundance is about having enough of the things people need so that an ordinary person can afford them: housing, transit, energy, healthy food, good jobs and schools, safe, walkable neighborhoods. That doesn’t preclude a surfeit of junk.

Hi Mike Lee let me suggest an approach to disposing of federal property that will be more politically popular that selling off national forest: sell for redevelopment the federal parking lots and dilapidated office buildings in cities. If structured carefully, the property

“Wanting enough housing, transit and good jobs in a nation led by an effective government so that an ordinary person can build a great life working one job is as bad as fascism” is an extremely unhinged take.

This is a US rail map in the 1930s. Rail is a 200 year old technology. JAPAN built its first HSR in 1964. Literally all we had to do was copy 70 year old technology. There is no conceivable excuse for CA High-Speed Rail 🚄💨 spending $Bns and decades without producing a single train ride.

One group I really wish was more vocal is devout Christians. Jesus was the Prince of Peace. He called us to love the poor, our neighbor—even our enemies. To lead is to serve and to sacrifice. The Evangelicals have taken God’s name in vain and made religion a means to power.

🔥 C-SPAN just aired the call of the decade; A voter called out Jake Tapper live on-air and torched the hypocrisy: “Right now, I really don’t like you… When are you going to examine what’s going on with Trump? This president has been pure chaos. There’s clearly something wrong

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

This photo of ICE arresting Brad Lander—whose only crime was asking to see a warrant—is fucking insane. What the hell is happening to this country!?

Masked ICE agents just violently arrested a US citizen —and elected official — for simply asking to see a judicial warrant. This is authoritarianism. Comptroller Lander must be released immediately.

It increasingly appears that ICE is being groomed to be a national paramilitary police force with size and scope do destroy the remnants of American freedom and local self-government that still remains.

"For every low-income driver forced to pay the toll, 50 low-income New Yorkers will benefit from the toll" The congestion zone is getting decongested. Keep those toll cameras rolling!
