New in PN: Trump follows through on an especially ugly campaign promise
"For years, Donald Trump has fantasized about lawlessly killing 'drug dealers.' Now he's making that happen even as he pardons actual drug kingpins."

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before
but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Monsters. They've abolished universal newborn Hep B vaccination, in an 8-3 vote. Since 1991, that dose prevented 6M+ infections, almost 100k deaths, & millions of chronic liver disease/cancer cases.
This is class warfare via crimes against public health.

We're not required to defend CAFE standards. They really are bad and a big part of the reason every car is massive nowadays. Well-meaning regulations can sometimes have unintended consequences.

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.
I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

This explains something that has always mystified me about drivers who rail against bike lanes and transit. Why WOULDN'T you want people to have options not to drive? It would make your own driving better! But they don't just want good traffic, they want to reinforce the NORM of driving
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.
As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.
Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.
