Build green economy or die (sorry David Lynch)
Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

The opposite of precarity…a union contract
A union contract is the only way we can stop these systemic problems that have been making Starbucks worse year-after-year. It would only cost the company less than a day's worth of sales to put fair pay, fair scheduling, and strong protections in writing through a contract.

I am 100% committed to #TeamWalz and fully support his leadership of an Inclusion Coalition
Walz on Trump calling him the r-word: "We all know both as an educator & parent that using that term is just so damaging. It's hurtful. We have fought 3 decades to get this out of our schools. Kids know better. But this is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior."

Although the intervening years are filled with slaughter caused by all sides this is still pretty cool. Having no allied standing armies to proselytize on one or another patriarch behalf seems to be a good thing for self reflection.

This is one of the most important exposés published in WSJ in several years, and it derives from intercepts and analyses by foreign intelligence services studying the conduct of Trump and his inner team. It's first and foremost a wake up call to the people of the United States.

I will be watching Spanberger and the UVA leadership dispute to see if she learns the right lessons
In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit.
To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.

A state exec - I prefer Pritzker to do it to clarify if he really is a FDR like class traitor - will need to arrest a federally employed Lie Enforcement Officer. Judges clearly are not going to physically arrest anyone to enforce even the strongest judgment. Maybe Healey in MA? Newsom doesn’t dare
Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:
