Insurrection in Georgia, coup attempt defeated by civil society and parliament in South Korea, and now Assad may be gone, Damascus liberated, and prisoners in Sednaya prison released by rebels. It had been a week.
Bashar al-Assad’s plane appears to have crashed near Homs, as it traveled NW from Damascus toward the border of Syria.
It was likely shot down.
40k people were watching @flightradar24.com live as it happened.

Earlier this year, Mayor Eric Adams rejected efforts to expand New York’s voucher program for homeless families—despite a record *1 in 8* public school students experiencing homelessness—because it was “too expensive."

"Nancy Mace often tailors her positions and entire persona depending on where she's booked. In an especially egregious example from 2021, Mace praised vaccines during a CNN interview but promoted 'natural immunity' on Fox News, both on the same day."
Nancy Mace's never-ending chase for 15 more minutes of fame
Her only real position is whatever lands that next sweet TV hit.

SEIU’s response to Boston University’s announcement that they are suspending doctoral admissions in the social sciences and humanities where graduate assistants have won union contracts. Shameful.

Hi Bluesky friends: I wanted to share that my book, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US, is coming out in March. Based on a half-decade of reporting, it examines the rise of America's "working homeless," following five Atlanta families desperate to secure housing in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city.

Washington state’s Initiative 2109 was the most important tax-related ballot measure of the year. Hedge fund executive Brian Heywood bankrolled this campaign, hoping to repeal the state’s innovative capital gains tax on high earners.

Washington state beat back efforts to repeal both a capital gains tax and a payroll tax that funds long-term care insurance. Illinois voters showed support for a tax hike on millionaires.

Gaetz may not make it; but the fact that Trump has rushed to name his personal lawyers to all of the top spots in the DOJ is of almost equal significance......
"If Gaetz becomes AG, he will take control of a department that recently was investigating whether to bring criminal charges against him for sex trafficking. It’s distressingly similar to Trump being able to take charge of a govt he sought to destroy."
Trump moves to burn down the rule of law
His cabinet nominations are obscene and augur dark days to come.
