Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask. (Published September)

Most of the Tesla shareholder proposals are like "Tesla is an incredible company, but maybe we should make sure we have some basic accountability or make sure we aren't exploiting child labor" and the board recommends against all of them

everyday a renewed opportunity to read a letter from the birmingham jail

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

and he is still taken seriously!

came to this conclusion while reading about lynchings in the early 20th century extremism was a better explanation of why lynchings occurred than terrorism it’s probably why lynching hardly comes up in the literature outside of historians and legal scholars

apparently preferring the study of extremism over terrorism is a spicy approach - even violent extremism has better explanatory power than terrorism all these thoughts thanks to @jmberger.com’s work on defining extremism

time of day where i think about spinning up @theloopcast.bsky.social again and starting a youtube channel where i discuss extremism, history, and reconstruction

"Hey, man, what message should we push today as we deliberately deny millions of Americans their food benefits?"

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Mamdani being a certified Bluesky Elder means he has absolutely seen Sensual Alf, Tom Boobadil, and Stalins Yaltitties.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

build a reasoning model from scratch? @sebastianraschka.com does it again!

Carolyn O'Neocon (D-VA) - Career Federal Employee, retired (won't say agency) - local campaign chair, HW '92 and Dole '96. - the Republican Party must be destroyed - beloved grandmother

gorsuch being one of the only principled conservatives on the bench - and just nakedly hating the rest of his colleagues - is honestly pretty endearing.

Social media gets a lot of the blame for How We Got Here, but the internet’s just finishing the job television started. Essential reading:

get one of those by a bike lane and bröther we are in business

"All hot dog stands will be replaced with goat meat stands." hold up. tell me more about that

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

if i were running for office i would absolutely call my volunteers “the wide awakes,” i would hand out wide awake pins and stickers and hats for people to wear and campaign events would have wide awake banners (2025)

Partial list of local-county govs Dems flipped: —NY: Dutchess County legislature —NY: Onondaga County leg —PA: Erie County executive —PA: Luzerne County board —PA: Bucks County DA, sheriff —CT: mayors of Bristol, Milford, New Britain, Stratford (Maybe: Aurora CO, council) Surely missing a lot!

didn’t realize i have years of ideas to translate into video essays for @theloopcast.bsky.social

all extremist politics are local - bans at the state level don’t stay at the state level when u consider issue of state law being in contradiction of fed law, when you consider interstate commerce and movement of people, etc common thread during slavery, jim crow, and now bodily autonomy dystopia

all (extremist) politics are local - the abolition and anti slavery movement realized this and fought tooth/nail to contain the slavery to the south the problem here is the other issue that extremist belief never stops expanding or wanting to expand

an extremist legal movement rooted in 19th century ideas of citizenship, white supremacy, and states’ rights w one of its primary goals to mitigate and roll back the reconstruction amendments - today we call this conservative originalism

the states’ rights meme has been something leveraged by the slave power, the confederacy, the opponents of reconstruction, the opponents of the civil rights movement, etc federal power is never about expanding rights rather protecting the interests of slavers and reactionaries

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
