Fleury Fleury Fleury!

Marc-André Fleury signed a PTO with Pittsburgh and it looks as though he'll get to retire as a 🐧 after all. He was consistently good/excellent until he turned 37.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

This is one of the presentations I co-organized! There was excellent attendance and good vibes throughout.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Happy Marc-Andre Fleury Day! 🌸

If NC Republicans pass a new congressional gerrymander, Democratic Gov. Josh Stein *cannot* veto it. We explained why in 2021, when Stein's predecessor, Roy Cooper, faced the same problem. In short, blame NC Dems' shortsightedness in the 1990s. www.dailykos.com/stories/2021...

“Fair dice” might make you think of perfect cubes with equal frequencies (say, 1/6 on all sides) 🎲 But “fair” really just means you get the frequencies you expect (say, 1/4, 1/4 & 1/2) We can now design fair dice with any frequencies—and any shape! 🐉 hbaktash.github.io/projects/put...
