Are you kidding me for real, scratching each others back over maximizing seats across the board? Be for real @reptedlieu.bsky.social

Someone once posted “Malcolm Gladwell is Joe Rogan for people who read the New Yorker” and it’s seared into my brain

For Steyer so loved Los Angeles, that he gave up his only begotten gubernatorial campaign, and whosoever voteth downballot for progressives shall not perish, but have eternal Nithya Raman

again, rurals keep America away from greatness 😔

I have a very bad feeling about any additional tax hikes on the ballot for this fall - like the one to save public transit. The vibes are only going to get worse as gas prices continue to climb, and beef prices are set to explode due to screwworm. Imagine 9/gallon gas and $8 double doubles.

"Global city? Hell no, we're still a tiny town like we were 200 years ago and we're going to keep leadership among our tiny clique!"

If you want a vision of the future imagine an orthopedic new balance sneaker stamping a human face. Forever.

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

In the darkest night for American liberalism, Tom Steyer went against his class interests, his generation and his era to work for the Mondale 1984 campaign. Absolute lion, I don't care what anyone else says, he's a real one

Another day of California PDI early returns The Dems are backloading their ballots, the partisan split is currently 14 pp more R than 2022 same-day, but closing fast And 2022 was already a redder year, as we know Asian and Black Dem turnout still lagging tracker.politicaldata.com?type=statewi...

Every city's a walkable city if you're Godzilla

Chuck Schumer was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. Eventually the wheel of karma will turn again in the favor of sensible people, but God, am I tired of waiting.

Medical research and public health policy is a prime target paulkrugman.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Everyone needs to hear this. This is not about opposing Trump and the GOP agenda. This is about fighting for the future and what can be. "The way out of survival mode is to imagine a positive vision of the future."

NASA has taken down its online NODIS directory, which lists NASA's internal directives, policies, and guidelines for how the agency operates. It's not that the server is down; the URL now hits a 404 Resource Not Found. According to web.archive.org/web/20250000... it went down between Jan 22 - 24.

if they are willing to sacrifice things like “wording this EO in a way that makes it possible for a court to interpret what it means” for acting fast enough to overwhelm you with despair, they consider you in a not-despairing state to be a greater threat than the courts alone

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
