Consumer credit is the main thing I’m eying. Defaults remain low but are picking up, now at a post 2008 crisis high.

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

gonna just use this as a plug for actual LOCAL journalists—human beings who are familiar with local elections, as opposed to algorithmic betting machines that can and do get basic things wrong

The two leading headlines being Elon Musk getting a $1 trillion pay package and Trump fighting to avoid giving children, the elderly, and disabled Americans food is.... ridiculously Dickensian.

"Unless you're Cleveland" is pure @nerd4cities.bsky.social gold.

Thank you for the spotlight @goodgoodgoodco.bsky.social 🙏 Who wants to run with us??? www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/can...

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Amid ICE attacks, L.A. community orgs call on the Dodgers not to accept a White House visit.

That daycare teacher who agents snatched yesterday? She also has two young kids, and according to a GoFundMe, they now are left without a caregiver. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Why do builders put up giant McMansions, when zoning allows a fourplex? TLDR: A host of regulations make fourplexes lose money. I read the eye-opening report. Now I'm looking forward to the podcast.

The fact that Parks and Rec's depiction of public meetings is 1,000% accurate really undermines a lot of dogma and that breaks brains

Last night the city council of Gresham, OR (pop 115k, Oregon's fourth-largest) voted unanimously to repeal costly parking mandates citywide, effective Dec 4. 23 Oregon cities now have zero parking mandates. Join the @parkingreform.org to bring this to your community! (1/2)

Notably, @royalpratt.bsky.social appears to have gotten his hands on the unredacted copy of the preliminary injunction motion seemingly filed in error yesterday before being deleted and replaced with a redacted version. Here's what that bit looks like in the public filing vs. the unredacted.

Off their phones and into the streets www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/n...

More than a week later, they still haven’t returned her phone or her engagement ring

tired: leaders throw folks under the bus wired: leaders invite folks on the bus in a dedicated lane

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Come along for a ride on SW 4th — the new bike lane in downtown Portland that has set a new standard. bikeportland.org/2025/11/03/v...

ICE boasted over the arrest of Sydney Reid, a DC woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent in an altercation with ICE officers near DC Jail. Today a jury found Reid NOT GUILTY on a misdemeanor -- after grand juries no-billed the case 3 TIMES. Folks, don't let ICE lecture you about rocket science.

This is framed as a story about the economy, but it's also a story about the staggering financial costs of car dependency in the United States

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?" What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?

🚨Baltimore has done it! The second-largest US city, after Denver, to pass a complete repeal of parking mandates in 2025. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Yes, please! The traffic revolution that’s making cities cleaner — and happier www.vox.com/future-perfe... "More cities are finally choosing bikes over cars." #Move

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

So Manhattan + assuming half of Brooklyn lives there = 3,062,288, which is more than Chicago

Wait, I MIGHT BE WRONG does manhattan and the west part of brooklyn have a higher population than Chicago???

Thanks to the NITA Act, and a city ordinance from @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social, Chicago has the highest population of any city in America that live on property that does not require vehicle parking

There's still the rumor that Bezos was going to buy Conde Naste which includes Vogue and Wired. I wouldn't be surprised if Wired ends up getting gutted too. This is the Orbanization of media. Every outlet belongs to regime allied oligarchs. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs. www.vogue.com/article/teen...

one of the most insane thing about partisan politics is that Republicans are allowed to say "these four million American citizens shouldn't get the representation they are entitled because it would be politically inconvenient for us" and nobody bats an eye

Authorities Investigating Explosion at Harvard Medical School, Believed To Be Intentional www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

truly classic

I feel one million years old here, but we do actually have a pretty reliable way of knowing what news is true. Did a real newspaper publish it? Then probably yes. Can’t find it in a real newspaper? Maybe not.

"Why don't people support welfare programs?" Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness. White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

In case you need a summary of what’s happening, Republicans are unnecessarily making 40 million people go hungry to blackmail Democrats into making your grandma’s health insurance premiums double.

Is this the long-awaited, much-ballyhooed replacement for Obamacare? You message the president on social media and hope he intervenes?

Most of the people ICE is picking up and torturing are probably Christian.

He’s the guy who helped set your crypto company up for you, helped secure major foreign “investors,” and made you and your sons over a billion dollars. bsky.app/profile/atru...

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

Here are my three truths about climate: 1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over. 2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets. 3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

“FBI Director Kash Patel has fired a man who he believes is responsible for media reports showing Patel used his FBI jet to fly to see his girlfriend sing at an event, according to reports.”

No one ever gets to use the term "nanny state" ever again. Ever.

My kid was sorting laundry during the World Series game 7. He found his Dodgers shirt and put it on in the eighth inning. Clearly Miguel Rojas sensed it and it is how the Dodgers knew to come back and win.
