Maybe it was a bad idea for some public health experts to discourage boosters for all.

As soon as Glenn Youngkin was elected, the CRT menace apparently just disappeared.
Talk about getting results. It’s like it was never even there.

Look at how much better and clearer the historical protest signs they invoke are than the contemporary social justice jargon.
And it's not an inherent property of protest signs ... the same report has photos from a contemporary march which is full of elliptical slogans, jargon, weird references, etc.
It's less accessible than stuff that's two generations old.
A rumor spread on the right after the election, from QAnon to Louie Gohmert, that the CIA and US soldiers had been in some sort of gunfight in Germany over election fraud. Apparently Sidney Powell tried to get the Trump administration to take action on it.

Seattle's apartment building boom has been pretty incredible and needs more urbanist love. In 20 years the city’s housing stock increased by 38% with with multifamily units making up 73% of that growth ✨🏗️✨
I wish this were not true; I wish NASA, or at least more than one private contractor, had the ability to get space stuff done cheaply. America's excess cost problem is forcing us to rely too heavily on one miraculous contractor.

Popularism seeks a return to the Wisdom of the Ancients that prevailed pre-2012 when it was displaced by the myth that there is a secret leftist majority of non-voters, waiting to be mobilized by mirroring activist rhetoric.
Failure to think on the margin is always a good sign of a sloppy argument

And you can see Democratic candidates and officials who are getting this right. London Breed has been consistently critical of the SF BoE for failing to open schools for so long and focusing on (poorly executed!) woke nonsense. Now she's backing the recall of BoE members.
More housing vaporware from the Board of Supervisors.
Because someone is going to go through the multi-year gauntlet of planning & DBI and spend $750K-1M+ per unit to build a fourplex, be operating at a loss in perpetuity and have to administer means testing too.
San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle
When he mandates that Sunset property owners are allowed to sell their existing units for no more than $500K (because that’s around what a $106K household can afford), maybe I’ll believe this is in good faith.
