“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

Possible I've seen Wilco more than any other band (hey, I live in Chicago, it happens). Whenever I'm on the fence, I remember the deep joy I get from hearing "California Stars" live & buy the ticket. But all of Mermaid Avenue? With Billy Bragg & Natalie Merchant? I bet last night in MA was magical.

Ossoff: "Just think, 250 years on, what the Founders would see if they visited us today. *crowd groans* But wait -- they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights ... "

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

Inside a women’s prison, a domestic violence victim began collecting others’ stories of abuse. 156 women answered her call. Together, they became “survivor sisters” — and helped shape a new law offering them a path toward freedom. But would it work? Listen to the full episode:

this legitimately made me tear up. a tremendous public servant!

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

Why it’s time for Democratic socialism!

The revocation of TPS and the ethnic cleansing campaign being waged by the Trump administration is horrific on its face, but at the same time we can't ignore the devastating effect on an already decimated health and human services workforce and the impact on care for the disabled and elderly.

If Republicans maintain their majority in Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson intends to spend the next two years running an anti-oversight “protection program” for the White House and its allies. I’m honestly a little surprised he admitted this out loud and in public. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Billionaire Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon, who under the plan would pay $0 toward arena renovations to the public's $600m, retorted, "it feels like we’re making a pretty big investment by staying here and paying these tax rates."

What is Leon Black hiding? Because, if he isn’t hiding anything, why did he walk out of his Transcribed Interview in the Epstein investigation today? We will get answers. Nobody is above the law.

What’s remarkable about all this stuff is the stolen valor. You didn’t build shit, you won a birth lottery. You are a podcaster not Emperor Vespasian. bsky.app/profile/just...

The Supreme Court's 250th anniversary gift to America: turning the principle engraved on the Statue of Liberty itself on its head. We no longer "lift our lamp beside the golden door," at least not to the immigrants Trump disdains. My column: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/25/o...

happy bday writer/humanitarian Pearl S. Buck, b. 1892, Hillsboro, WV. “Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness.” “You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.”

"The World Cup is proof that, if it weren't for our leaders, the vast majority of people around the world would get along just fine."

They have to go. "Promise to America” initiative that commits candidates to a set of centrist principles, including capitalism, fiscal discipline, strong borders and pride in the United States.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

The Colorado river water system is collapsing, and a data center operator is suing to consume even more water. Unreal. www.kpbs.org/news/environ...

There’s a good chunk of elite legal thought in this country that’s the work of pickled brainworms soaked in racism and deluded by ignorant historical hallucinations.

"Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion." - Ben Franklin on Emmers' German ancestors

Assimilation has never been a problem for any immigrant group. Seriously - it is not a problem, it has never been a problem, it's never going to be a problem. What he means is "I see them around, and they're still Black! Blatantly! They're obviously unwilling to become American!"

I know it's a losing rhetorical battle that's been fought before, but we really have to stop calling these people "conservative." They are not "slowly slowly, cautious principle" people, they are aggressively and intentionally trying to drag this country over to the far right and into centuries past

The US is so paranoid about Chinese tech, they've forced Polestar to withdraw from the US. Polestar is the best alternative to Tesla with high quality sedans, not to mention the excellent Android integration. What an absolute mess and self-own by the government. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

it’s so funny that all i remember learning about the supreme court when i was a kid was about that brief moment in time when they did a couple of very cool things. that was an outlier. it’s a rotten institution.

SCOTUS once again kicking their garbage into the street, and in one case into the faces of their own literal children. The fact that Amy Coney Barrett has adopted and raised Black Haitian children and then did This really indicates lot of things.
