Begging Jeff Bezos to donate to YIMBY groups instead of calling for the richest people in the world to pay their fair share really sums up the hollowness of the abundance weirdos.

Clearly, @JeffBezos is right about the central role of housing in driving youth discontent against the economic status quo. Wish he'd use Bezos Earth Fund or some other vehicle to support YIMBY work and not just do takes! slowboring.com/p/to-save-cap…

To save capitalism we need radical land-use reform

Socialism is not the answer, but the status quo isn’t working.

One of the most truly important pieces of legislation for Philadelphia. Every single Philly official and interest group should champion and support this.
Rep. Elizabeth Fiedler@RepFiedlerOct 2
When working people pay the same taxes as billionaires, that's not "fairness" - it's elites exploiting a broken system. This week, @RepCephas and I introduced a bill to repeal the most outdated and regressive tax policy in PA: the uniformity clause. local21news.com/news/local/p…

Progressive Taxation for PA Bill introduced to build an economy that 'works for everyone'

The Progressive Taxation for PA Bill was introduced on Monday to propose the repeal of the Uniformity Clause in the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Kendra Brooks, a progressive who made history as the first third-party candidate to win a seat on Philly City Council in 100 years, is considering challenging Mayor Cherelle L. Parker in the spring Democratic primary election, according to two sources. 🔗 inquirer.com/politics/philad…

Philly City Councilmember Kendra Brooks is considering running for mayor, sources say

A bid for the mayor’s office would pit Brooks, the leader of the city’s Working Families Party, against Parker, a centrist aligned with the Democratic Party establishment.

“ms. ocasio-cortez has earmarked the funds for voter organizing rather than advertising, with a specific proviso that half of the money be devoted to spanish-language outreach.”

Congratulations to David Morales on winning the Democratic primary for Providence Mayor. In November we'll have elected Democratic Socialist mayors in NYC, Seattle, D.C. and Providence. From coast to coast, Americans are clear: No more status quo politics. We want real change.

Every time someone is like “well why can’t we have Zohran Mamdani where I live?” I say “Yes! You can! You have to work really hard. But I promise you can.” Providence RI just put in the work

Interesting field case study: in Dubuque, knocking on every door yielded 5x more voter conversations & 3x more volunteer leads than the "standard" targeted MiniVAN walk approach, which required walking past 24 doors just to speak with 1 person. grassrootsconnector.substack…

It is unacceptable for a world-class city like ours to allow its major natural history museum to close. We cannot allow it. My statement ⬇️

This is crazy and needs to be rectified. It is genuinely hard to believe that the city cannot sustain a museum that's been around since before the Civil War. inquirer.com/education/acade…

The Academy of Natural Sciences is closing its museum after nearly two centuries

The closure does not affect the rest of the institution, which builds and maintains the collections and conducts research through departments such as the Patrick Center for Environmental Research.

“data centers can give communities valuable tax revenue” sorry, I watch sports, I know the “billionaires get the infrastructure built first, then blackmail local governments for tax breaks by threatening to relocate and leave them with a huge waste of public funds” playbook
