No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

"We got a pinky swear to hold a doomed-to-fail vote on ACA subsidies in December" has big "we forced them to change the name of the bill" energy.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I did an audio story on the history of bikes basically and how in some use cases they were better than cars - you can't parachute into a war zone with an automobile. As part of that research I learned that the original Curious George manuscript was smuggled out of Vichy France by bike /1
This piece on the humanities and AI is interesting. But I struggled with the text below, in which research is seen as the efficient extraction of what I already know I want. For me, the point of books is that they’re not ‘customized’ — their quirkiness is a feature, not a bug. tinyurl.run/cwxDSr

Nobody wants you, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.
While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

Personally, I'm happy about this change, because absolutely no one voted for Trump to experience shared sacrifice. The one commonality among all Trump voters is that they believed he would make them rich while hurting people they dislike. They didn't expect to suffer themselves.
the rightwing influencers are trying hard to flip the narrative to “it’s your duty to sacrifice for your country” like during WWII. except WE ARE NOT AT FUCKING WAR you walnuts.
I cannot believe, and I will keep repeating, that I cannot for the life of me understand how the fuck the Trump admin thinks that "None of you get treats! You will buy EXPENSIVE things and LIKE IT." is a good idea when you literally ran on lowering prices on day one.

I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

Worth noting: it was a cold, wet, miserable day in parts of the northeast yesterday. People still came out in significant numbers for #handsoff protests despite the weather. They made friends. Organization and staying outside longer is going to get *easier*.
