Who is wise? One who learns from all people. Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world. (Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers)

all the hyperscalers and utilities meeting to discuss interconnection and permitting call that no loads refused

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved. Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning. ig.ft.com/mega-batteri...

bari weiss has an audience of at most 500,000 that largely consists of rich elites with reactionary opinions putting that kind of person in charge of a mass media company that serves millions would be considered a bad business decision in any context

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.

I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'? The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!

Lindsey Cormack undertook a study to see if any actual data backs up that Third Way memo that got sharted onto the internet last week and you've never believe it but Third Way is operating on vibes more than facts dcinboxinsights.substack.com/p/was-it-som...

they shouldn’t even be allowed to call themselves “third way.” don’t insult anal like that.

In a waiting room, and this lady chatting w/ the receiptionist is doing a great job explaining the actual impact of the DOGE cuts: *everyone* at her office laid off, what kinds of programs they do & who they help (kids), what's happening w the injunction. These personal stories need more attention!

with all due respect to Tyler, and I do deeply respect him, I did actually foresee this *entire thing* for @heatmap.news in my first story for them almost one year ago today heatmap.news/politics/rep...

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

And the person who turned up to support him with no notice is the Muslim dude who have cross endorsed each other and who the msm has been going into overtime to cast him as antisemitic

Trump and Musk agree on the fundamentals: *Both see the US state as something to capture for megalomaniacal self-dealing *Both agree the US state should abandon the global poor to face unimaginable suffering *Both want the state to dramatically roll back help for working people and the poor

We keep hearing the Trump-Musk saga reveals the split between tech oligarchs and MAGA. But they're largely in sync on crucial matters involving egalitarianism and the state. Trump/Musk mainly differ over how badly to screw the poor. Some thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

if your grand approach to politics is bloodless poll-testing so that you're always aligned with wherever public opinion happens to be, you've already lost

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

“wine moms are the most effective force in left of center politics in the United States” has been true for many years now

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

Guys I’m beginning to think all of this isn’t about fairness in women’s high school sports

A propos of nothing, 1) the federal government is not banning incandescent lightbulbs and 2) energy efficient lighting (realized by federally funded r&d) saved the average American consumer $14B in 2023. www.energy.gov/eere/2024-ee...

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes. So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

Seeing these weird pieces about Dems going too far left and I think they would benefit from interviewing at least 1 trans person and 1 Palestinian person. Dems and readers should understand the consequences of acquiescing to the villainization of trans people and full-throated support of genocide

don't take her name in vain
