Reason two — arresting criminals and searching them for illegal guns is a good alternative to the antipatterns of non-enforcement or “stop and frisk” https://t.co/81PAk3VgYF https://t.co/HqfIpWFGFx — PolitiTweet.org

Why make people pay the fare? Reason one — collecting fare revenue is actually important to funding a transit system and keeping it running at a reasonable level of quality. https://t.co/81PAk3VgYF https://t.co/sIuTjhJKYH — PolitiTweet.org

It’s November and that means WMATA is starting its great post-pandemic fare evasion crackdown. Making people pay fares has become unfashionable as part of a larger trend of saying it’s bad to enforce rules but in fact it’s good. https://t.co/81PAk3VgYF — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardHanania Honestly it’s a good idea — but if Musk actually opens the platform up to freer speech then it seems like there is even less value to this already worthless thing he wants to charge people for. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThePlumLineGS @brianbeutler @jonfavs Like if you give people a straight choice between a candidate who’ll end democracy and prioritize jailing criminals + cheap gas and a candidate who’ll support democracy and prioritize ending mass incarceration + curbing fossil fuels, then an informed electorate picks fascism. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@ThePlumLineGS @brianbeutler @jonfavs I am all for it, personally, I just think that you maximize your odds of prosecuting that case successfully if you also convey to centrist and center-right voters that you agree with their views on issues and are also generally chill and low key about policy disagreements. — PolitiTweet.org

I think if you try to operationalize Stancilism in a serious way you get convergence with David Shor Thought and Clinton-style triangulation — try to maintain a singular media focus on GOP extremism and scandal by ditching progressive policy ambition. — PolitiTweet.org

@adamgurri Yale built two new residential colleges and expanded undergraduate enrollment by 15 percent. Arguably not that big of a change, but very different from the ultra-NIMBY Harvard/Stanford/Princeton local context. https://t.co/rooPE5Zm8f — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I actually think it's very unlikely that Harvard or Stanford could have gotten permission from Cambridge and Palo Alto to build a bunch of new dorms. Yale, located in a poorer less NIMBY city has in fact expanded. — PolitiTweet.org
