🚨New RUSI Special Resource, 'Preliminary Lessons in Conventional Warfighting from Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: February–July 2022' by Mykhaylo Zabrodskyi, Jack Watling, Oleksandr V Danylyuk and Nick Reynolds is out now! rusi.org/explore-our-re…

Helping Ukraine isn't charity. It's paying a debt after decades of enriching and empowering Russian aggression. It's a wise & essential security move, because if Putin attacks Lithuania American soldiers would go and die. Ukrainians are dying to prevent that risk. 7/10

Do not turn away. Know what Russia is doing and what it has become, a terror state murdering civilians every day. This could be stopped, not by surrendering to the terrorists but by defending and arming their targets. x.com/ZelenskyyUa/st…

If you're steamed about poor energy planning leading to rolling blackouts around North Carolina today, it's relevant to note that these guys are the #1 lobbying spender in #ncpol and one of the top GOP contributors. Duke Energy is failing us. x.com/DukeEnergy/sta…

There is even a committed, brave, and responsible military force ready to end these attacks if only they had the weapons to do so. Give Ukraine the arms it needs to defend its people from terror now. Not doing so is complicity in the next attack.

Building denser doesn't solely mean towers. It means projects like this

Another public policy failure in NC. Though not absolutely perfect, solar power is an amazing upgrade to make to a failing grid.

@ValerieRoss14 Respectfully, I believe considering the “type of resident who might do a certain thing that bothers others,” ie make noise, should make folks who know history of post Jim Crow zoning laws a bit nervous. And whether CEQA was written to cover “student noise.”

“The Rise and Fall of Imperial China” by Yuhua Wang is a grand feat of a book. It covers an immense amount of history, undertakes extensive empirical work, and develops a powerful explanatory theory of state development.. But I have a fairly critical review of parts 🧵

I am begging people who believe the housing crisis is solely caused by corporate greed to go to a P&Z Board or Council meeting. Literally listen to public comments and you'll realize the major impediment is the affluent home owners who aggressively oppose any development

Good Morning Friends! Several people have reached out to me concerning an article with several lies about myself and my colleagues. Today we’re going to play a game called Fuckboy Fact Check real quick to address these.🧵

Have you tried building more single-family homes on one-acre plots an hour from the city and expanding the highway yet? I'm sure that's the solution!

Rep. Moore and anti-transit folks are wrong and their views will continue to limit safe and efficient growth in North Carolina.

Ken Burns once again with the right take.

"We can have a network of large, undisturbed park spaces if we are willing to build our homes and communities in a more compact way."

Minneapolis and Portland saw rent level off nearly completely over the last six years. How? They built a ton of apartments with little parking. Lessens from other density efforts elsewhere —> cpr.org/2023/04/21/col…
