In this post, I argue the way national and state-level Dems can triangulate on the CRT issue is not to denounce CRT; it's to simply say yes, let parents and their elected school boards decide on local curricula. Endorse local control and you defang the issue entirely.

Some thoughts on the Virginia elections. Including:
A) Are we in the new 1970s, and if so, what does that mean?
B) Is the conservative movement reviving itself?
C) How can Dems defeat anti-CRT politics?

That's 150-odd litres a week! What are they doing with the milk, bathing in it? Making cheese?
Even if there's 5 of them, that's 4.2 litres per person every day. Bowl of cereal: 0.5 litres. Put it in their tea/coffee: 0.5 litres. What are they doing with the other 75%?!?

"A gallon of milk was $1.99. Now it's $2.79. When you buy 12 gallons a week times four weeks, that's a lot of money."

I am saying that I am happy to grant progressives whatever semantic points they want to have about "critical race theory" and/or "moral panics" but would like them to engage in a debate over actual education policy trends.
Tyler @tylrr_tyler
@mattyglesias People are arguing that there are “no noteworthy equity-inspired changes”? Or are you just equating the “CRT” discussion with that?

2000 affordable units in San Francisco alone! Since 2018!
These affordable housing projects (usually between 50-150 units each) used to take ~10 years to permit.
Now, under @Scott_Wiener’s SB 35, they take 90-180 days. https://t.co/pGo5R87hBD
Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener
About 2,000 units of affordable housing in San Francisco have been dramatically expedited under a housing law I authored, #SB35. SB 35 is having a major impact on housing production, particularly affordable housing, around California. https://t.co/mvFdnG2rBf

"fell"
Bellingcat @bellingcat
Bellingcat has identified the individual who fell from a window of the Russian Embassy in Berlin & died as the son of FSB's Director of the Directorate for Protection of Constitutional Order, the same FSB squad that follows and poisons Russian dissidents.

NARRATOR: The president has decided. He just hasn't announced it yet.
CNBC Now @CNBCnow
Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Federal Reserve governor Lael Brainard visited with President Biden this week in the West Wing, sources tell CNBC. The President has not yet decided on who the Fed Chair will be. https://t.co/crlmvK7JSQ

The Dead Letter (Dr. D. Wolfe, MD)@wolfe_author
One of my favorite moments (not really) as a pathologist was when a hospital worker came to the lab, panicked, and asked me to identify a package of ‘drugs’ she found in her kid’s car. I was like “ma’am. this….is Parmesan cheese.”
