If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Seriously. I blasted some tropicalismo and Os Mutantes on the speaker, wore rain gear, and loved literally every second of my errand run. I even bought another turkey because they are on sale.

One of the kids' 2cd grade teachers sends out a weekly newsletter.
Each week, one student is chosen to be the weekly 'star' and share things with the class. The 'star' gets a blurb about their favorite color, their favorite foods, and their hopes for the future. I love reading these each week!

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

this is particularly loathsome when you look at the current state of the oregon republican party, who, like all blue state republican parties, have chosen to go stark-raving mad rather than trying to moderate even a small amount to fit the state they want to represent

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

The morning's thread
This Day in Labor History: November 25, 1865. Mississippi created the first of the Black Codes. Designed to recreate slavery in all but name, this signified the South’s resistance to the freeing of their labor force and the lengths to which it would go to tie workers to a place under white control.

Hot damn, this is the good stuff
By capturing how taxable property wealth is shielded from redistributive taxation by local boundaries, we also identify specific jurisdictions—what we term “municipal tax havens” & “fiscal deserts”—where per capita property wealth is many times greater or less than their respective metro averages.

Holy moly this is so cool. My life is divided into before I read this paper and after. 🤯
🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]
