pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Many car lanes across the city are unusable because they are blocked every few metres with an empty 2 ton metal box - a parked car. That’s the single worst way to use streets. If we want to unclog the streets: make a bike lane on every street for shop access and have zero on street parking.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

I do really think these folks are underestimating how bad the AI backlash can get if the industry needs a bailout

people are still furious about the 2008 bailout and that was almost two decades ago
Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

The feds raided an East Chicago home, arrested a mother and her 26-year-old schizophrenic daughter. She's been here since she's 2. In ICE custody, she had no meds and chose to leave the country. Now she's in Mexico, barely speaks Spanish, and her family can't find her.

When federal immigration agents raided Martha Porcallo Martinez’s East Chicago, Indiana home on June 12, they also arrested her 26-year-old daughter who has schizophrenia.

WFP knocked on over 60K doors in Georgia. Fund the work.
This movement that we are watching unfold - Zohran Mamdani, Prop 50 in CA, regular people everywhere who are taking power from those at the top -

this movement doesn't build itself.

Funding the work is essential. We power the party, not billionaires: wfpus.org/JoinUs

Trump can shovel money at Argentina and Republicans can shovel money at billionaires, but there’s no time for working families? There are no funds for health care?

I cannot accept that.

Dragging teachers out of daycare centers and disappearing them into massive concentration camps, traumatizing children and terrorizing communities.

This is what “mass deportation” means. The United States is on a dark and dangerous road that often ends in genocide.

As it happens, he's also my friend, a deeply decent man whose compassion shines & fairly shimmers off him, no matter what he's doing.

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.
Progressives may flip Aurora council as voters reject Danielle Jurinsky and other incumbents
Jurinsky built ties with Trump during the 2024 campaign when he falsely claimed Aurora was being “taken over” by a Venezuelan prison gang.

relatedly, when i was doing poll visibility for the @nywfp.bsky.social and told people a vote on the Working Families Party line sends a message that we believe in good stuff like taxing billionaires, literally NO ONE said "wait hold on now" because NO ONE HAS ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT BUT BILLIONAIRES
"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."

I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.
