    The way you know this is culture war bullshit pushed by the fossil fuel industry is that buildings kill up to a billion birds per year and you can be sure our real estate developer president never cared one whit about it.

    Highly transparent glass can lead to devastating collisions. But innovations in design are creating safer skylines – without sacrificing beauty

    I love how she sees herself as the hero here and not the villain that denied SUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE homes to a number of families.

    Here’s the clip of CM Padilla bragging about reducing the size of a 100% affordable housing project in her district and increasing the amount of parking while arguing against the transit oriented upzoning bill SB 79.

    (ED 1 is an affordable housing program in LA.)

    I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

    Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus"

    1. doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here

    2. doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead

    and

    1. is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.

    The Pod Save America bros are setting up a "debate" about trans rights featuring anti-trans ghoul Matt Yglesias, apparently! No clue who the "pro-trans" side will be repped by, but I'm really worried that they're going to just find someone to get steamrolled.
