Here’s something so blatantly obvious that it seems stupid to even have to say it out loud.

And yet apparently it’s necessary to say in Trump’s USA.

Filming a legal arrest, let alone the many illegal and anonymous arrests performed by ICE, is NOT DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

Claiming it is, is fascist.
If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism.  #holdfast

A free country must have an absolute wall of protection for those who record government actions.

In case you needed more evidence that Abundance is garbage, @miawong.bsky.social has you covered. The funding sources discussed in this podcast should cast major doubt on the credibility of the entire “Abundance movement.”

Also the book boring.

Repealing “anticircumvention” laws, which make it illegal to modify devices and services without permission from manufacturers, would be a way for other countries to retaliate against the US. Doing so at home would also make America great again.
US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack
Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too.

I was digging through my miscellaneous image folder and found this altered logo of Dance Dance Revolution from 2023 that I edited with my own hands in, like, 3 minutes. Sharing it here because I think it's still pretty awesome.

BREAKING: I support a Millionaires’ Tax on income over $1 million a year.

The fairness of our tax system ranks 50th. Let’s make this historic change this session.

This is a separate proposal from the budget I announced today — revenue would not be realized until 2029.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

It's easy to dunk on liberals with something like 'why can't liberalism build anything as interesting as Soviet towers or Mussolini's monuments' but the more interesting question is the opposite, why does everyone with strong opinions on monumental architecture turn out to be politically insane.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.

This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.

• Creators are more impactful than traditional media
• Apolitical influencers have more impact than political ones
• Regular social media use pushes users to the right
