🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

And, recent @michaelemann.bsky.social abt how Bill Gates gets it (SO) wrong re sensible climate policy.

Both @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & Mann are worth paying attention to beyond their excellent book.
Michael Mann to Bill Gates: You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

I'm a huge fan of Liberal Currents. The writers there offer an ideal combination of an intellectual defense of liberal values with a clear-eyed view of the challenges of the current political moment.
Today we are launching what we hope will be a transformative fundraising push.

We are determined to increase our reach so we can compete with voices who are less than fully committed to, or who outright oppose, liberal values.

Help us do it: www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Unclear where this war profiteering plan came from or why it emerged right now, but clear that it is in every way disastrous
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

I have been looking at Black Friday sales for a week but I do not actually need anything so instead I closed all those tabs and bought a Polaroid for a foster kid in Florida who uses photography to deal with big feelings. Perhaps you would like to do the same for one of the kids at the link below?

This has gotten very little coverage in the US, but on Monday US military contractors or troops or some other paramilitary group placed signs on a beach in Mexico, claiming it as US territory. (The contested location is close to the SpaceX base outside Brownsville)

This is literally just because nurses are associated with women, isn't it. That's the whole line of thinking beginning to end.

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.

Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.

This is political and it is sexist.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

"and it's gonna be locked so they can't go out and buy, uh, a cadillac, they can go out and buy health insurance"
Trump on healthcare: "I've had personal talks with some Democrats about paying large amounts of dollars back to the people. This was my idea ... why don't we just pay this money directly to the people of our country and let them buy their own health insurance?"

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.
