6. Market being closed to cars is a godsend as a parent. My kiddo was walking up and running down the cobblestone on Pine St for 15 minutes just because it was fun. I got to chill and drink a coffee, great.
7. Pine St to at least Nordstrom needs to be pedestrianized. Sidewalks PACKED, road empty.

What the death of Direct File tells us about state capacity We CAN have nice things - if we want them

New, from me: American taxpayers will spend billions of hours and hundreds of billions of dollars — not to pay their taxes, but to report them to the government.
Thank Trump, who killed Direct File, a free tax high-quality reporting tool that IRS had built. 🧵

By the way, I'm not quoting the mayor because SHE IS MODERATING THIS EVENT. Asking thoughtful questions and not making it about herself. Don't tell me it doesn't matter who the mayor is.

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other:

1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting.
2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote.
3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.

ill never understand this need from both left and right for there to be some master manipulator behind everything. sometimes politicians are just really shitty and they arent being paid off or blackmailed to do so. they just suck.

So I’m wondering what more it would take for everyone to finally understand that, just like he was famously awful as a businessman, Trump is completely and thoroughly horrible at managing the economy? Other than turning off Fox News, I mean.

An important lesson Target is about to learn:

1. Trust is extremely difficult to get back once lost.

2. When people move on they almost never come back.

Ret. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: Netanyahu Could Turn to Nuclear Bombs If Iran War Escalates As President Trump gives conflicting statements about the length and objectives of the war he launched with Israel against Iran, fears are growing that the conflict could continue to expand throughout...

"They’re putting us in jeopardy in a real substantive sense, because the American people have no way of judging just how foolhardy, how stupid, how unwise, how violative of international dictum and rule this war is."

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.
