Got to see my favorite team (@EFprocycling.com) and my favorite cyclist (Nielson Powless!) at the Maryland Cycling Classic yesterday. Terrible luck for Nielson. Come back next year!

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023. The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion. That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?

A clarifying piece that sums up what has happened in just the past week that demonstrates how far fascism has spread in the US.

“Average American electricity bills have risen by 7% so far in 2025, at least in part because of the extra strain that data centres have put on the country’s grids.” @economist.com

If this is true it is absolutely horrifying news

Where is the freak out from those worried about a mayoral candidate proposing govt owned corner bodegas because **Socialism!!!** when the President of the United States is essentially demanding the biggest companies in the country hand over shares or, in the case of US Steel, control to the govt?!?

The attack on core departments, tenured, and tenure track faculty is now accelerating in blue states, building upon the assault on NTT colleagues. Far from resisting Trump’s assault on higher ed, University admins in Democratic run states are spraying fuel on the fire to make it burn faster.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
