A shitposting rando named Jerry Chen is more popular than every journalist and academic on this app. That's one of the few good things about Bluesky. When they're on here publicly whining, they're basically admitting that they can't compete with Jerry without an algorithm.

Reminder! Early voting is open for the April 7th Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Let’s all do our civic duty and make our voices heard.

Transportation is economic opportunity. Reliable public transit connects people to jobs, school, childcare, and groceries.

If you care about safe housing, union jobs, and public investment in real needs, take a minute to learn about Tammy Honeywell.

(what is that expression??? you can take the man out of Chicago but you can't take the Chicago out of the man)

would outlaw public Masses, Marian processions, and Corpus Christi devotions." How brilliant of the Chicago born Pope to decide to something that has not been done in decades, carry the cross in a public procession...I feel like it is Leo trolling Hegseth and Wilson!

in over 3 decades to personally carry the wooden cross through all 14 stations of the Way of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome." Why did this trigger a reaction? Cause Hegseth's spiritual advisor Rev. Wilson wants to Ban all Catholic Processions in America. In Wilson's vision of a Christian nation

FORGIVE THE LANGUAGE THE POPE IS A FUCKIN' GENIUS!!! As Pete Hegseth uses or should I say abuses his bully pulpit to promote his combative, controversial brand of Christianity. This decision by the Pope caught my eye. "On Good Friday, April 3, 2026, Pope Leo XIV became the first pontiff

“A top FEMA official is doubling down on his claim that he has been teleported against his will. Gregg Phillips is in charge of response and recovery at FEMA and has repeated the claim on several podcasts…”

Every person who dies in ICE custody, every person killed by American bombs, every person executed, every person who dies because of poverty is Christ crucified. And on this evening we weep and mourn because of their suffering and deaths, and we remember that our salvation is bound to them.

Seattle.

Yes, more municipalities need to do this👇

The hardest lesson I still am learning

I want my taxpayer dollars going towards socialist programs like Universal Healthcare. Not war. I want my taxpayer dollars going towards SNAP. Not War. I want my taxpayer dollars going towards public housing. Not war. I want my taxpayer dollars going towards free education. Not war.

Profit, in other words, depends not on sustaining collective life but on selectively degrading the very capacities that make it possible. The Seattle Loop breaks with that logic by treating money not as a proxy for extraction, but as a public instrument for mobilizing and nurturing collective life.

The neoliberal story about feasibility is upside-down. A project is deemed feasible when it can generate the monetary returns that private investors deem as credible. But those returns are frequently produced by treating our capacity and infrastructure as a cost to be cut, deferred, or degraded.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

On behalf of the 50-plus equids I help care for, yes. Every one of them deserves cake more than any human. Also, subscribe to the Onion, stat. For humans, it’s better than cake.

A breathtaking photo that puts our self-inflicted human woes and our very existence into this humbling perspective: We are all one people on one very fragile spaceship.

I want New Yorkers to take in the fact that we have to fight for $150 million more dollars to be allocated to our public libraries out of a 127 BILLION city expense budget. I just... [IT MAKES NO SENSE.]

A month ago, Brad Lander put a great video calling for the expansion of the Supreme Court. I (impertinently) responded “This but 29.” Today at 1:00, I’m hoping on Lander’s substack live to talk about court expansion, 13, 29, and all the reforms in between. Should be fun.

When Joe Biden and the Democratic Party leadership completely abandoned the idea of SCOTUS reform in 2021, they guaranteed that Trump would be back. The Nazi court provided Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi with built in excuses.

Fucking insane times we’re living through 😡

Entering the Orthopedic Clinic this morning, I was shocked to see a father carrying his 4th-month-old baby whose tiny little hand was bandaged. I oohed & awed over precious little Noah, an outlier amid the dozens of old people limping in to get physical therapy for their broken and arthritic bones.

Guess I’m a petty bitch now because this made me feel deeply satisfied Like a warm messy melty cookie does

New Essay! 🔊 ✨ How Cities Can Evaluate Public Investment Without Bond Markets ✨ "[M]unicipal finance can become the occasion for a more honest evaluative framework that displaces neoliberal public-finance practices in the institutional space opened by the Seattle Loop." Please read & share! 👩‍💻 🙌

I wrote about alternative evaluative frameworks for municipal finance that don't depend on whether private investors feel confident they can profit from the city. Give it a read, share, etc. 💟

The idea that bond markets can tell us about the macroeconomic effects or material feasibility of public investment is pure neoliberal ideology.

This might be basic to some, but for those who are confused by criticisms of the populist left *from the left*, here’s a primer on the tension between revolution and reform in leftist theory and culture, and why it isn’t about vibes or purity tests. youtube.com/shorts/knh7i...
