"This is what you get when you elect Republicans." Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly. Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time. Fucking say it!

Will Iran be charging a hefty toll on US & Israel owned ships and cargo passing through the Strait?

Is America's first car-free city a walkable utopia or a government-controlled prison? Grace visits Culdesac, AZ, to find out

I very much do not want automated birthday wishes from my dentist, car dealership, eye doctor, and bank

BREAKING: In response to huge cuts in Trump's budget request, NSF is shuttering its SBE directorate. Staff will be transferred to other parts of the agency and "grants that align with Administration priorities" will be maintained. That & more w/ @maxkozlov.bsky.social & @edwrdchen.bsky.social

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

New in the American Economic Review: migration doesn't hollow out the home economy — it builds it up. More than 75% of the long-run income gains from migration are domestic. The home economy itself grows. Here's what we found: 🧵

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

The way to stay safe on or near an ebike is to stay away from people driving cars, who kill nearly 40k people annually in the US, and well over 1 million people worldwide.

High overhead at a non-profit is not, generally, a sign of corruption and waste. People running massive 501(c)3 organizations earn competitive salaries b/c they are talented leaders in high demand

The US can afford to offer universal healthcare + addiction services, basic housing for all, and high quality K-12 education while still enabling rich people to get rich

So proud that Trump did what the U.S. House that HE LEADS was unable to accomplish (multiple times)

Looking for insights on Open Peer Review - in particular, a person wanting to be open though the journal is not? For ex: If I publish in a double blind journal, but decide to post the peer review & editorial docs in a space like OSF. Is this unethical, illegal, best practice?

They want to police our genitalia and run tests on our bodies to “prove” we are women, at which point they will still deny it. This is why the only feminism is trans-inclusive and why transphobia and anti-trans discrimination should be a top political priority.

Military women and people of color somehow keep finding themselves in the crosshairs under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

This administration has demolished public service for decades to come. Federal employment has long been attractive for its stability & benefits + non-discriminatory promotion & advancement opportunities. It was a model employer - the Project 2025 authors know this & are ensuring it no longer will be

Mindblowing stat: A car hitting you at 49 mph is more likely to kill you (75%) than GETTING SHOT IN THE HEAD (58%). #VisionZero #cycling #walking #SafeStreets medicine.yale.edu/news-article... aaafoundation.org/research/imp...

👏🏼The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/choctaw-na...

Remind me what qualifies the US secretary of the treasury and former businessman Scott Bessent to guide or even comment on security policy? Oh yeah, he's key to running private investment strategies...

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

The president who fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers is nonetheless spending far more every day than his predecessors. www.pbump.net/o/trump-like...

We’re sometimes told trees can’t grow in hot, dry cities. Not true, and in fact trees do the MOST good in hot, dry cities. “Trees in hot, dry areas can have a greater impact than in humid cities. Trees in areas like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Tucson are particularly effective at reducing heat.”

US approves $16.5bn arms deal to Gulf states after creating tensions in Iran

NPR today: Story 1: Iranian security patrols stopping people on the street to check phones for Internet use & texts Story 2: US ICE officers taking DNA samples from anti-ICE protesters.

Good thing DOGE worked tirelessly to reduce the federal deficit!

Ugh. 🔥🌵🔥 But yeah, less solar & wind. Let’s burn more fossil fuels!

A reminder that Democrats agreed to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard, but republicans blocked that funding.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Looks like the culture of personal preference/parents over expertise that has been dismantling K-12 education in the US, has finally reached the university

Booked a flight to Chicago - the AI summarizing my email is so stupid it thinks ORD is Orlando!

over the course of studying air power in history?? Is he referring to learning from a woke university? He holds a Master of Arts degree in history from the University of Georgia.

Watch this clip. Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

🚨NEW: Last year, the number of people incarcerated in the U.S. increased again. The driving factor? President Trump’s deportation agenda. Our annual report, The Whole Pie, gives the big picture of mass incarceration. Here are some key takeaways 🧵

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon tells Congress the first week of the Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion, an AP source says.

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

You know what’s the sort of thing you’d invest in if you wanted to reduce Iranian power over the global economy in the long run? Renewables, that’s what.

Consumers aren't looking for a "fun" place to shop, they want a place that treats its employees well & supports diversity and inclusion over ICE. Oh yeah, that's called COSTCO

THREAD. 3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

Wait till these guys learn how many misogynistic men love their moms!

“Taking full responsibility” for those actions (sexually harassing a staff member to the point that she commits suicide by setting herself on fire) means stepping down.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
