BREAKING: Judge Paula Xinis orders the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from immigration custody

“What the president gets right about Europe: blood and soil politics are correct and white nationalists are generally right about everything.” -The New York Times

Why did that happen, what does it tell us, and what can we do next? That’s what my forthcoming book, The Wage Standard, is about: how rules, norms, and power in the labor market shape who shares in growth. Coming out March 31. Pre-order here: www.thewagestandard.com

so I guess tariff armageddon isn't ruining Christmas. so much for "they only need one doll"

we're gonna sleepwalk right into Stupid RCV instead of the superior Score...

Things I'm seeing as a local county chair of the Democratic Party in a red state 1) Lots of average people want to run for office 2) There is no support/infrastructure from the national party to help us help them

We should have a 2nd wave of mostly-compulsory primary education that happens somewhere in your 30's or 40's. You are going to relearn history and reread classics, this time with the benefit of far more worldliness, and you'll interact with a broad slice of your community.

seems big

Miami Mayor -- UPDATE - 🔵 ☑️ Eileen Higgins (D-Aligned) - 14,161 (60.8%) - 🔴 Emilio Gonzalez (R-Aligned) - 9,123 (39.2%) We project that Eileen Higgins will be the next Mayor of Miami.

it's fine to say immigrants add demand to a housing market. the problem with deporting 10s of millions of immigrant neighbors is not that it wouldn't relieve housing market pressures, it's that it's evil and horrible and we could just build more units instead

Rep. Thanedar has filed two articles of impeachment against Hegseth, one for "murder and conspiracy to murder" and the other for "reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information." 🧵 (Full disclosure: I was happy to consult a bit on drafting this.)

moron

trash lady returns!

Wow!

1. Electrification is driving job growth. And note that the dominant jobs are in manufacturing / installation (since solar PV doesn’t require operators to any significant degree). That’s a different kind of job that moves around more than working in FF production.

This is an interesting read for anyone thinking about a career in the energy industry - or for regulators thinking about where the private sector is adding / losing jobs. A few select quotes: www.iea.org/reports/worl...

these people need to be exploded (as punishment for conviction of crimes by the government) on live TV

Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.

it’s so weird how these op-eds just show up in the New York Times on their own and editors have no choice but to sit back helplessly and watch them get published

@jamestalarico.bsky.social sent this video to his 10,000 volunteers: “We will make the case for why we are best positioned to win this race — but we will always treat Congresswoman Crockett with the utmost respect. She is my colleague and she is a leader in our state. She deserves nothing less.”

don't use the word "antifa". just write out anti-fascism. it will make your point for you

The Sen̓áḵw residential complex, developed by the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation, continues to rise by the Burrard Bridge in #Vancouver. A really impressive manifestation of indigenous urbanism (with a little sustainable futurism thrown in…)

holy hell

I see Lyman Stone of the Institute for Family Studies may or may not have helped blow up the bipartisan Road To Housing Act by telling GOP members it was an Anti-Family bill. ifstudies.org/blog/congres...

🎉 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🎉 We are proud to endorse @nateforutah.bsky.social in #UT01! Nate Blouin’s campaign draws a clear line in the sand: he refuses the tainted money of pro-war lobbyists and demands an end to U.S. complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

sometimes I wonder how Congressional republicans manage to dress themselves in the morning

*sigh*

lol

it won't matter because they'll react to populism by posting about headlines and then forgetting about it in a month or two. maybe in the midterms they'll remember to vote. after all we've been at this for the past 10 years and nobody's developed counter-media tactics, why would it change?

my egg making technique is better than all the others out there

challenger layoff data just won't go away ugh

reinventing georgism from first principles :)

At some point it may occur to the extremely wealthy people on Netflix’s side that the best way to save their deal is to make sure everyone in America knows how corrupt Trump and Ellison are. Their opponents paid off the referees! Make some noise about it!

the base said no

well we know what her campaign slogan will be already

to be honest I think my record for repeat movie watches is only 3: this one and Interstellar. I think Captain America: Winter Soldier is also at 3 or 4, but that was a long time ago.

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU. You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

not great, bob

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

if you don't like newsom and don't want him to win the primary, the smart thing to do is lie and say you'd vote for him in the general but that OTHER people won't. Why would partisan primary voters listen to this same message after 2 rounds of Trump

damn he inherited all the ugly

I really would like to hear a non-nefarious reason why reporters at places like the NYT, WaPo, or NPR can't take 10 second to tell us that the $100 billion we spend on SNAP is 1.3% of the budget or the $6 billion that went to the AIDS program in Africa was 0.9% of the budget. Love to hear a reason.

this is hilariously demented but also true! if you read "the west" to mean "fash international", which is what these guys always mean by "the west", and it absolutely needs X The Everything App

we're gonna need to import electric chairs

The Supreme Court cannot “uphold the longstanding principle” or “strike down birthright citizenship.” The Supreme Court can follow the plain text of the constitution or declare itself in rebellion to the constitution. These are the only two options wrt birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment.
