Trump and Musk aren’t kings, and the rest of us aren’t powerless in the midst of this coup.

Tariffs on construction materials, alongside mass deportations of construction labor, could wreck housing affordability in the next few years. State and local policymakers need to be pulling out all the stops to legalize affordable typologies, speed up permitting, and slash fees.

As someone who has worked in refugee and asylee advocacy, it’s not shocking, but still incredibly saddening to watch the executive orders unfold this week with such casual support from the general American public. A concerning indicator of what is to come.

This is at least as inflammatory as "Rivers of Blood". And as detached from reality as anything you'll find in the grimmest corners of the far right. The riots of last summer hasn't given these politicians so much as the slightest pause.
There are more than a million British people with Pakistani heritage in the UK.
For the Shadow Home Secretary to suggest they have an "alien" and "medieval" culture and to smear them by association with the crimes of a tiny minority, is the politics of the far-right gutter.

The Technology the Trump Administration Could Use to Hack Your Phone
Other Western democracies have been roiled by the use of spyware to target political opponents, activists, journalists, and other vulnerable groups. Could it happen here?

This sort of democratic backsliding, where Republicans seek to overturn the effect of an election by reallocating powers away from positions they have lost, has become almost routine now. But it should remain shocking.
Heads up:
North Carolina Republicans just voted to strip the state's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general of key powers — passing a sweeping bill before the GOP most likely loses its veto-proof supermajority in the Legislature next year.

I’m introducing my family in rural north east Ohio to Pho by cooking it tonight. I was absolutely shocked that their Asian selection was so expansive at their local grocery! They had 5 different types of noodles and access to sauces I can’t get at Tesco in London 😳

Why is flying in the U.S. a much bigger to-do? It’s feels more chaotic, slower, and stressful. I can’t quite place exactly all the aspects that contribute, but there’s certainly a difference.
