A recent study concludes that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. (Published July 2025)

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year. (Published July 2024)

ICE enters NYC shelters armed and without judicial warrants, reports show

This is a story about how the Trump administration dismantled Christian works and celebrated the suffering they wrought. If you have Republican “Christian”representatives we encourage you to share this story with them and ask them to how this is acceptable. Share it with your church as well.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan. Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination. Take 45 seconds today to say "No way." nationalfairhousingalliance.salsalabs.org/ecoaregb/ind...

"Demonstrators directed their holiday jeer at Apple, demanding the company restore an app that helps everyday onlookers report immigration enforcement activity. Protestors sang satirical carols with lyrics rewritten to lambast Apple chief executive Tim Cook..." www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

One reason why Republicans won't extend expiring ACA subsidies? Koch-backed lobby groups have spent over $1.1M pressuring GOP lawmakers to let 20M Americans' health insurance costs go up. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

If you read one U.S. president's remembrance of Rob Reiner today...

Lying about Trump’s lies about Rob Reiner’s death to perpetuate lies about reactions to Charlie Kirk’s death in service to long-running lies about left and right using a fictional version of Trump to lie for. The lying is next-level. Previous lies become canon, and living a lie becomes the goal.

Right-wing influencers made up that Democrats celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder, and tried an up-is-down lie that they’d never celebrate political violence, then Trump smashed though that Kool Aid Man style—as per his wont—so the influencers are now pretending that’s unusual and that they dislike it.

President Donald Trump and his MAGA enablers are on a campaign to erase history, tearing down monuments to hard-won progress and whitewashing the past to conform to their white Christian nationalist agenda.

This. Maxie wants to remind everyone that taking care of a precious fur baby is an awesome responsibility. Adults MUST consider the work & training needed before casually adopting a cute “gift” pet for a child who can’t possibly take on the caregiving demands. 🙏🏽 Max with his fave present last year!🐾

I increasingly think that in folks' attention to Orwell, Atwood, and so on, they did not properly anticipate how Vonnegut-esque the dystopia would be.

🧵Omfg. In 1965, to keep an eye on China, the CIA hatched a plan to put a monitoring device on Nanda Devi, a difficult to climb mountain in India, overlooking China. The device was powered by voltage generated by heat from radioactuve Plutonium. They lost it in the icepack feeding the Ganges.

Today, the Office of Management and Budget issued a memo providing guidance to federal agencies on how to implement President Trump’s July 2025 EO on “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government.” Read the memo, which focuses on how agencies procure large language models, from Jakub Kraus.

The Steve Bannon photos with Jeffrey Epstein make a lot of sense from their emails. I wrote them up in order, 2017 until the moment he was arrested, and they were connected at the hip. #EpsteinFiles open.substack.com/pub/ellieleo...

I would be absolutely delighted if Elon Musk and Peter Teal would move to Mars. Stat.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

Now the world is seeing what South Dakotans saw for years. Noem is an incompetent, grifting, self serving toadie.

Rufo's problem is his job is giving the right's most reactionary ideas the valence of intellectual rigor for more liberal audiences, but his base audience wants nothing to do with that kind of respectability politics. He's the pornographer that imagines himself to be a great auteur

prosecute him to Jupiter and back. And his flock of minions handlers enablers sycophants oligarch cronies, and useless excuses for humans that he’s spawned.

gosh I'm just on pins and needles waiting to find out if a Congress full of health insurance industry corrupted sociopaths are going to protect the unwashed plebians from death and financial ruin

While we concern ourselves about SNAP benefits…

Southridge High students walked out in solidarity today—joining a wave of young people refusing to be silent while ICE storms their communities. After months of armed, masked agents targeting teens, they’re drawing a line: We protect each other. We show up. And we won’t let fear decide our future.

At @inthesetimes.com, we've been following how tenant unions are adapting strategies from organized labor. Here's a fascinating story about the flipside: a corporate landlord taking a page from anti-union employers, even hiring a "union avoidance" firm. (1/8) inthesetimes.com/article/tena...
