It's not just that Ezra Klein said that Kirk was doing politics in the right way, it's that Klein said he "ENVIED what he built." Just think about that for a second. Mask's off, I would say.

darkly funny that it was the ascendant right wing (not the degrowth left) that is launching the trade policies that threaten to Take Banana

As the price of food and basic goods increase, so will gendered violence. So it's great we're in a cultural place where trad wives and conservatism have made such a roaring comeback when women won't be able to do food or caretaking work in this economy.

Amazing show on the work of New Deal era illustrator / graphic designer Lester Beall at the Poster House gallery in Manhattan. Closes this weekend!

Just saw a couple on the subway doing a crossword that they’d ripped out of a magazine together and it was so gentle and romantic!!!

The looming tariffs on electricity will spike people's bills almost instantly. That's a disaster. But as we told @newrepublic.com, “we already pay a tariff because of how much corporate profit is priced in, compared to what the price would be under public power.”

Please share with your school district and your school principals! Protect our trans and gender non-conforming kiddos 💕

I heard an NPR interview yesterday about oligarchs & Musk/Bezos/Zuck/Trump & they were talking about these guys being talented & the potential benefits of them advising government. We have to crush the idea that billionaires are aspirational or necessarily good at anything besides exploitation.

Israel's UNRWA ban is coming into effect next week, just as the ceasefire agreement's provision to let more aid in will be ramping up. The logistical framework to distribute said aid throughout Gaza will suddenly disappear.

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

Hanging out with Aaron and Vijay to talk about the distortion of sustainability to equal green consumption with moral implications and ask: what is to be done?

8/ If you read between historian Mike Davis' apocalyptic lines, policy advice for 2020s -Move ppl out of fire prone, sprawling WUI zones to denser coasts -Pay ppl to thin weeds, clear millions of dead trees & do prescribed burns - Limit human ignition - Cut CO2 FAST rosalux.nyc/california-f...

Been having a lot of conversations about how to rebuild social cohesion and a sense of optimism on the Left, and the answer lies in design: we need more programs and public spaces to fight alienation.

truly maddening how this was never part of the discussion. paying nine bucks to save an hour is worth it for like 99 percent of hourly workers

Hey friends. @propublica.org is hiring! We have several openings for great journalists including this one for a new Climate Accountability Reporter. Come work with me! boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/j...

Honoring my ancestors by walking around Rome belly full of pizzapasta, waistband 3 sizes too tight, complaining about needing kimchi and rice

This is why they tried media figures at Nuremberg

The congestion pricing era starts tonight, at last. It's going to be a great time to walk the entire length of Manhattan; use our guide to maximize this entirely toll-free way to enjoy the city: nygroove.nyc/im-walkin-he...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

ICE - under the Biden administration - deports mother and children, including American newborn twins, to Mexico www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

while out last night i heard the kind of blood curdling scream that someone lets out if they were being murdered. naturally i went to investigate and found a group who it clearly came from, and i found out the reason for that scream was they found a free pack of unopened cigarettes on the ground

Getting this meme ready #energysky

“Sometime in order to clear out dead brush one must start a prairie fire” - @sophianova.bsky.social

Loved reading these words by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social which is ready advice on a beautiful day. It's why when Twitter blows up or somebody starts off with a "DSA should," my immediate response is to ask: Is this building the org? Are the critics doing the work? www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

This is so cute (derogatory) because women have been and are showing out in full force while young men are noticeably absent from street protests. Yoon won by riding the tide of the incel movement, tell them to cover that 💕

Explicit policies of forcible detransition and mandated conversion therapy are beginning in the US.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

This is another one of a series of stabbing attacks on immigrants in NYC. It’s escaping mainstream news but the constant media narrative that immigrants bring crime is hiding the fact that immigrants are being targeted and stabbed in the streets.

and the “modernization” of US police is nearly interchangeable with its militarization; the story of 20th century policing is largely one of police refining their violence by borrowing tactics, personnel, and tools from US imperial-military excursions

KCTU officially the sexiest union.

A staggering statistic: Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a *9 percent* increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The math of our housing crisis is brutally clear.

South Korean citizens helped lawmakers scale the National Assembly walls so they could bypass military barricades and vote against martial law.

it is pretty funny how absolutely not a single person in parliament wanted to do the coup

She said, “Let me go! Aren’t you even embarrassed?” Korean antifascist queens in perfect outfits rise up

The logic of highway expansionism is undergirded by the Wild West imaginary and frontier colonialism. In this essay, I will

Governor Hochul:

Biden could be doing so much before he leaves office. Instead, he’s doing this.

Can someone buy this for me? I’ve only been reading the Power Broker for a year and 2 months now… I’m aiming to finish it by September 2025 🥰🥰🥰

California has shut down Chuckawalla Valley State Prison. 20 years ago, it held around 4,000 people. Now it is empty. Thank an abolitionist, especially those working in @curbprisons.bsky.social & Critical Resistance

Much of the food you eat this holiday season comes to your table from the hard-working hands of farm workers who harvest our food. #WeFeedYou

Am I wrong in thinking Kendrick’s fans are, inadvertently or not, participating in ADOS nation-building? What do we get from joyfully killing what I can only describe (based on the commentaries) as inauthentic soft black masculinity (Aubrey)?
