I cannot stress enough that you should not do this.

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

Yeah sure, most oil co's wouldn't want Venezuela's oil assets, but there is one that very clearly does want a return on its investment, owned by a GOP megadonor, and it's been in the news. But turning off the comments makes it hard for people to tell you about it share.google/LId62Y475qn1...

I tried to reassure someone that the new buses his local transit agency were trialing weren't 'experimental'.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

I remember hearing about this when it happened. The fake police parked their fake police car in the street during an abduction raid. This hero towed it, and the video of them helplessly chasing him is pretty great. So glad he was found not guilty. Justice was done. abc7.com/post/man-acc...

I still can't wrap my brain around the Surgeon General for Trump 1.0 sounding like Paul Offit when it comes to vaccines and AOC with respect to universal health care.

“It’s really exciting to me that air quality improved throughout the entiremetro area,” said Fraser. “This tells us that congestion pricing didn’t simply relocate air pollution to the suburbs by rerouting traffic. Instead, folks are likely choosing cleaner transportation options altogether”

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead. Idk, just spitballing here.

I named my fists Mass and Acceleration because together they bring the force that will be acting on your body.

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus. It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions. Thank you, Governor!

The Trump regime looked at these maps and thought that it's totally okay to defund USAID and kill 14 million people over the next 5 years (including 4.5 million children under five) because they're not white. Trump apparently also deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Cuomo could never.

Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Know your rights, Chicago. Ask for a warrant. Record the goons from a safe distance. We don’t want or need them here.

Watching a Waymo stuck in the middle of a block party, creating a surreal traffic jam because it can’t figure out how to briefly cross the yellow line to get past the crowd. Now the cops are here. They don’t understand the problem and are yelling at everyone but the car. The future is so stupid
