The 28th and final Purple Line vehicle has arrived in Maryland. All rail in Prince George’s is complete. But still over a year out from opening — a little more track and a lot of testing still left to be done.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.
Matt Stoller: “..Trump & Mamdani defeated establishment in their own way, representing hunger of voters on the right & left who want something different. If those sides cd come together.. that would be a sea change in how we organize our political economy”.

Monopoly Round-Up: Why the Establishment Freaked Out Over a Mamdani-Trump Press Conference
Meta wins its antitrust case, there are now two fire truck antitrust claims, the stock market got wobbly, and Larry Summers was exiled from the establishment, at least for now.

This is nuts.
Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.
Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.

We can laugh about how stupid this is, but at the end of the day, a not-insignificant number of parents will believe the CDC and refuse to vaccinate. And some of their children will die because of it.

They are dying for nothing. Nothing but ego and vanity and small mindedness by anti abortion activists who are too busy saving the idea of innocent life to care about the lives they ruin.

Women are dying because of the way anti-abortion laws were written. These deaths were predictable, predicted, and above and beyond any intrinsic trade off of preventing the termination of viable pregnancies in healthy women.
If you wait for people to be actively dying in front of you before you treat them, some of them will die for your sloth. This math yields for no man.

So gruelingly awful. This is how these bans kill.

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

man we should bring back the pamphlet
Hey historians 🗃️: Do you know of presses that publish short books (around 30K words / 90 pages plus notes)? I have been working on an article project that could easily turn into an great micro-history of that length, but I'm not sure it would make it to the usual full 60-90K words...
