So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

my high school bf's dad was a civilian tech with the air force during the carter administration tasked with installing solar panels to convert air force facilities to solar power and when reagan was elected his job was eliminated and he told us that he thought they just trashed the panels
i often think about how the us could have been an early leader on solar power. but it turns out all that capitalist stuff about the spirit of innovation and better ideas winning was bullshit. they’ll protect their dying and dirty industry at any cost so long as obsolescence can still make a dime

As @mississippifreepress.org notes, what changed is the success of 2022 lawsuits mandating a fairer redistricting map—these were special elections for those new districts.
Lawsuits possible due to VRA’s Section 2. which SCOTUS is contemplating gutting.

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict
But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat
And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

The cruelty of this rapidly growing cancerous fascist regime, that we once knew as America, is simply breathtaking. Now they’re threatening grocery stores, that if they help struggling customers or SNAP users, they will be held to account.
How is this even happening?

This is reminding me a lot of the warnings in the days before Katrina. 40 inches of rain!!!
A true catastrophe is likely to unfold in Jamaica, as multiple days of rain followed by a direct hit from a top-end hurricane push the limits of what the country has seen historically. Details on the forecast, which aren’t much changed today below and at theeyewall.com.
Melissa explodes into a powerful hurricane, and it is going to deliver catastrophic impacts to Jamaica
Flooding, surge, and wind all look truly awful for Jamaica.
