I have lived many places; broad charitable views are not learned by living in one’s small corner of the world.

May my life end filled w/ moments when I lived up to/deserved my dogs’ adoration.

Since the federal gov’t is useless…

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This should be mandatory. These days, if you’re backed by billionaires creating PACS or just plain old billionaires… it should be an automatic loss - and groups being paid by tax payers shouldn’t endorse at all. Or.. they can pay ALL their settlements
I have never taken a dollar from AIPAC or any other special interest group. I never have and I never will.

To paraphrase @thomasafink.bsky.social

They have time to write books…

notable but not surprising that Fetterman chose Fox & Friends as the place to promote his new book

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds
World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

How to make your country more hated and how to raise generations to carry that hatred forward… by Donnie J Trump
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Thanks to Streetsblog USA for syndicating our piece about Illinois lawmakers saving Chicagoland transit. It's good to let people know NYC isn't the only big US city making headlines this week!
