"Median rent behaved like a toxic chemical, eliciting defined patterns of public health degradation. The mix of responses to median rent mimic public health responses to the heavy metal lead: some without and some with a threshold. Toxic chemicals are regulated. Rent should be also."

The poor, disenfranchised people who fought history’s biggest empires believed they would win. What excuse have you for pessimism and despair? I am not impressed by your “what’s the point of millions of people giving a shit that’s lame” energy

Idk how to say this. The US taxpayer does not bail out other countries. They bail out the American investors who invested in those other countries.

The bailouts aren’t really for the farmers, they’re for the banks they owe. The farms are still going to go out of business

The rich are celebrating the opportunity to hoard highly discounted assets while the poor are being real cry babies about NoT HaVinG anY MoNEy for “rent”

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Most of this laundry list of "overwhelming evidence" is tendentious. Let's go through them. 1) A big driver of high costs at public universities has been a decrease in state appropriations. Many public schools have been forced to act on a public/private model as a result..../1

yes, it's simply false that international students crowd out US-born students

Was told today about Indigenous people in Brazil who were desperate to vote against Bolsonaro. There were no polling booths in their villages so they got buses to the city, and when the military blocked their buses many miles from the city they got off and walked there. Fight for your vote, always.

I hate when people say this. Americans are normal people who want healthcare like everyone else.The problem is living with the worlds most powerful business classes who would rather kill us all than give up their precious profits

He wants X thing so he gets X thing is not a given. And to me that's the thing to uproot from people's consciousness. Because we're less than a year in and many people seem already defeated.

One thing I'm never gonna be concerned with is the opinion of an MF who can't even read cursive

Rihanna brought out the umbrella and that was the end of that 😩

Legacy newspapers: "Print media is dying, and the public will suffer for it." Also legacy newspapers: "We can't offend the government with information and framing that helps the public."

Can yall give me your favorite vegan recipe

Paul Thomas Anderson is considered one of the best directors of his generation, but he has never really had a hit when it comes to making money. “One Battle After Another” might change that. It might be the best movie of the year, according to critic Wesley Morris. nyti.ms/4o4M8Da

Liberals say that recent Supreme Court ruling have given the executive branch too much power. But they’re wrong, because the rulings only apply to Trump and will all be reversed when there’s a Democratic president.

“ICE detained a sitting elected official while raiding an emergency room. Earlier this afternoon, they deployed tear gas indiscriminately in the middle of a city street.”

The reason every elite institution in the country is propping up pampered millionaire Ezra Klein is that his overarching response to the country’s plunge into tyranny is “Don’t fight the fascists, become a little more like them.”

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

We having a kickback for Durand’s #NoBusiness premiere tomorrow night @ 9PM est! What y’all bringing?!?

Man there's really nothing new under the sun. A whole book from 1986 echoing the very same tactics of the Democrats. "Move rightward" "Appeal to WM" "POC/women are going too far" "bla bla bla"

One track is a collection of orphans I promised $2000 of they survive this. The other is another group of orphans I promised $500. You have 30 seconds to decide who lives and who dies

His institution didn't do any better. The difference is that people from every party, every religion and age group found common ground. They used economic power. People could choose whether to speak publicly or act privately. This has to be part of the road forward. We can speak for ourselves.

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.

But “the government is wasteful“

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/19/t...

Homebuilding giant Lennar has a large stockpile of houses it can’t sell at current asking prices. Instead of lowering home prices for the public, the company has launched an e-marketplace catering to wealthy investors and corporate landlords.

Neurodivergent people have existed far longer than Tylenol, but yes please find new ways to blame women for something with zero actual scientific evidence.

More candy for me!

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

For ppl that are genuinely empathetic or sensitive to others’ energies please take some time for yourself that *doesn’t* involve browsing social media. Especially engagement sites like this one. Nothing is normal and doom scrolling is a very real and unhealthy thing. Find or make other outlets.

What if I told you that the companies that kowtow to a government don’t do so because they are giant p*ssies but because a government that removed regulations (around labor, environmental protection, antitrust) is actually their best friend?

New research published in The Lancet finds that Western unilateral sanctions have caused 38 million deaths since 1970. The average death toll ranges from 400,000 to over 1 million per year. Staggering levels of violence. This system is intolerable and must be replaced.
