I have a book coming out in October about Florida's decades long battle for voting rights for people with felony convictions
It's an extremely hopeful but ultimately infuriating saga that I reported for years.
Preorder your copy today for Independent Bookshop Day.

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

A timely lesson on why HOLDING THE LINE LEADS TO VICTORY
🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!
The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

Literally the only thing that has to be done to stop an inevitable future shutdown from now on is reduce air travel for one single weekend and moderates will cave. That's the big lesson here, and trust me everyone in Washington is learning it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but he's talking as if every single unit in NYC new or old will see a rent freeze. But only select properties are rent stabilized, and those are the only ones that would have rent frozen.
Therefore, new builds are probably not affected. Do I have that right?

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

In Italy labor unions helped start a network of left-leaning news/music radio stations that have become some of the staples of public information in much of the country. They now run on a donation / ads model, but initial investment was from labor. I think about this often.
The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

For no real reason I listened to JFK's inaugural address yesterday, where he lays out the moral foundation for USAID, one of his biggest legacies.
Seeing it simply killed, and all the deaths that have resulted with the program shutting down, leaves a generational stain on this country.

Children are dying from these cuts. This is one of the many, many stories - a South Sudanese refugee child in Uganda.”

As enough AI is trained on AI slop, once the resulting content gets further and further from the OG human hands, as myriad errors are compounded, the AI systems will ultimately undermine themselves.
The end will be a massive "intelligence" failure, and humans that rely on it will be stupider.

New from me: I went deep on the way that generative AI and chatbots act as wormholes, pushing us deeper into our own minds. They threaten to compound the problems of algorithmic targeting that have festered unaddressed for years and years—what comes next may be even more alienating and isolating (🎁)

Hello from Miami, where a non-Latina Democrat is by far the frontrunner in a crowded mayor's race. The city hasn't elected a Dem for mayor since 1993. Same for a non-Cuban.
Runoff election is on December 9th, and it's expected to start garnering national attention.

By Tom's logic the point of the game is to win, not to do something to help people's lives, but to win while providing nothing in terms of solving real problems in the world.
"Centrism" does not exist. The concept is an ideological void that motivates no one in any way, bc it stands for nothing.

Nothing makes Democrats angrier than suggestions that they should do things to win
Tom is in his insufferable, impotent seething phase that his GOP got co-opted by morons, so he must make himself feel better by “tsking” Democrats by moving too far to the left.
While I appreciate his occasional insights, every time this pops up, it gets annoying.
