  • The affected people largely did not; it's their white neighbors who do that so that they can force this kind of living situation onto people who have a darker skin than they do.

  • The ability to issue fines is an executive function. It'll take winning the presidency to actually do that.

  • His allies control both Congress and the Courts, and they want him to do these things

  • To be clear: there is also real racism in the north, but it's expressed differently.

  • It helps, but isn't enough for stabilizing temperatures on its own. That takes also ending fossil fuel use and switching out a few industrial trace gases

  • The people at the bottom aren't interacting with NYT reporters at a Nazi bar

  • Not an unexpected outcome, but it's notably worse than with classic casino gambling because of the always-available model those firms have.

  • They're not even going after Republicans who posted 8646

  • About 1/3 of the time judicial decisions like this impact behavior. It's meaningful, if not always sufficient

  • The only real hedge against that is to install rooftop solar

  • The US, and a few other petrostates, which have worked together to block consensus within the existing COP process

  • They list a set of examples. They're not from Europe

  • Look at the nasal mist vaccines for your kid. Slightly less protection, but no needle. And you can get them by mail order and administer at home so that you don't need to organize an outing around the vaccine

  • The problem is that it's 90% stories that don't really lend themselves to partisan outcomes. Their fascism comes out only once in a while, when Sulzberger thinks it's important.

  • Useful in NY where 3rd party cross endorsement is printed on the ballot. Limited impact elsewhere unless you've got a media microphone

  • The reality of a first-past-the-post system is that it is far easier to co-opt an existing party than to launch a new one. The latter approach usually means handing power to the people you dislike the most

  • Steyer's been a significant climate advocate for a long time, but has not held elected office.

    Katie Porter has been too, but has been rather mean to her staff (though not a sexual abuser)

    Lots of choices, and really important that Democrats figure out how to at least somewhat consolidate so that we don't end up with an R vs R general election.
