Anti-popularists on the left should ask themselves, would things get better or worse for the Republican Party if people started organizing large marches at which the crowd demanded immediate action on banning all abortions?

Apple now gets money in two ways thanks to "privacy"
1. They get 30% of subscription fees from Snapchat, Twitter and others.
2. They get more ad revenue because their ad system is now more accurate than those of social apps as they're exempt from ATT.

“The goal, for the most part, seems to be to keep all the hierarchies within the system and simply make the end result perfectly match the racial demographics of the country. This…is a catastrophic and ultimately impoverished way to think about education”

shifting car->ebike is a big win for traffic congestion, land use, housing affordability, environment. This is an insanely lucky break for us and we'd have to be really dumb not to lean into it

CA budget is $300bn, economy is $3trn, and housing is the #1 issue, yet we’ve only allocated $4m to enforcement (or maybe $8m counting DOJ strike force). What would it take to 10-100x the enforcement budget? Cc @anniefryman @Scott_Wiener @RobBonta @GavinNewsom @CSElmendorf
