Thanks to Republican legislators, a 55-year-old couple making $85,000 annually could see their health insurance cost more than triple, to $24,535 a year. Obviously that’s unaffordable, which is why so many will drop coverage.

Osteria I Nonni has announced it will close 10/18. Singular resto for ambiance, hospitality, and standout Italian fare. Tremendous loss for TC dining. Personal heartbreaker.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition.

Gutting of science and public health is beyond appalling.
former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

With so much destruction in this regime, it's a joy that one wreck is refusing to stay wrecked: the former climate.gov will be revived by volunteers as climate.us with an expanded mission. Transition's still a work in progress, but promising.

This month marks 60 years since the founding of HUD, even as its programs are being defunded and its iconic DC headquarters put up for sale.

In our latest newsletter, we recommend a 2022 essay in Places about Robert C. Weaver, the first HUD Secretary, whose legacy deserves to be more widely known.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

I got chills as I walked into Law Warschaw Gallery at Macalester College last week to see “Mickey Smith: Morphologies.” It felt to me as if I were entering a tomb, where knowledge itself was being laid to rest. buff.ly/3DvL1Ku
