Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech?

We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!

On this date in 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the imperial forces of Japan. The loss of life and destruction was horrific, and it pulled the U.S. into the war.

For Japanese Americans, it was a terrifying time. Overnight, we became the “enemy within” because we were of Japanese descent. /1

The insider DC sheets keep running articles about Democrats bewailing Bidens pardon. I’m able to keep a pretty close tabs on the opinions of engaged Democrats via emails to TPM. And the actual opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of the decision. In fact, more or less universal support.

Your occasional reminder that when it comes to public transport, frequency drives everything.

People will pay more for a higher frequency service.
New transit study: Service frequency and coverage both drive ridership, but frequency matters more.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.

Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…

I hope the people who didn't vote Kamala Harris because they didn't believe a woman could be a strong president are witnessing the true strength and ability to govern being demonstrated by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and realizing how badly they fucked up.

Healthy peatlands are one of our best climate heroes, storing carbon for thousands of years. Healthy peatlands are gloriously mucky. Drained peatlands might grow food for some time but are a massive source of greenhouse gas emissions. Keep bogs wet - please share!
