I don't think the closure of JobCorps offices is getting the attention it deserves, this will be catastrophic for so many low income young people and increase homelessness

People think money corrupts politics because it allows corporations to buy votes. The real way money corrupts politics is that the key condition for a political movement is not mass persuasion, but persuading enough oligarchs so that one can simply purchase political viability.

Profiles of fascists are like the cultural obsession with serial killers: boring, ugly, pointless, and detract from the actual people who matter.

Ugh. “FDA employees characterized the launch of the AI, called Elsa, as “rushed” and expressed concern the agency is both over-inflating its capabilities and failing to set guardrails. Makary announced only in May that the rollout would be expedited” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

By the by, people of Bluesky- you can just talk about good things in your life or share nice photos without self-flagellating. It doesn't actually help others, the stated goal of the entire feed, to go "Everything is awful and miserable and Hell is on Earth but here's my cute doggo."

I’ve been marching for LGBTQ+ rights since Pride was considered a protest. And I’ll continue to march under this administration as a recommitment to the fight for equality today. No matter who you are or who you love, you have a home here in Illinois.

One takeaway from Poland should be it's a big mistake for parliamentary republics to have popularly elected presidents.

I wrote about the 23-year-old crypto bro with effectively no relevant work experience, who @alondra.bsky.social revealed is sitting in meetings, not paying attention, and then giving the thumbs up/thumbs down on whether they can get their NSF grants...

This map hinting at Poland's 1800s partition resembles Southern U.S. states a bit: Regions suited to plantation crops in the 1800s still have Dem-voting rural Black populations, but their cities are even more Dem. In other regions, rural areas are heavily white & GOP, but their cities are very Dem

Pretty homophobic to defund transit during Pride month, we need to protest the politicians marching in the parade who claim to care about queer folks yet won't do anything to actually improve our material conditions

This is very worrisome for law schools. BigLaw hiring is likely to plummet at a time when many institutions are under pressure to increase class sizes.

People made fun of my “quantitative feminism is the political science wave of the future” prediction, but the international political economy people are getting a real time experiment to see how many billions of dollars getting to grope your secretary is worth to the men who run the global economy.

I get the Dems need to win back casual Trump voters but “they didn’t vote for this” isn’t it. Like, you need them to realise/accept they did vote for this and it’s bad, actually.

The top five modern presidents in terms of percentage added to the national debt are, in order: Ronald Reagan; George W. Bush; Barack Obama; George H.W. Bush; and Donald Trump, term one. That’s right. Four of the top five were Republicans. https://trib.al/Op0KuPh

We tried this in MA and the industry and most of their workers decided that the tipped minimum was preferable. Bunch of workers who argued themselves out of money to allow their employers to take advantage of them in perpetuity

I have spent most of my career working with public-spirited non-partisan FAA employees who really do want to work to make flying safer for everyone. We need to keep them around.

People love to make jokes about the people who work for the government—but, actually, these are your family, friends, neighbors. And there are huge numbers of genuinely public-spirited, public-service oriented people trying to do their best for their fellow citizens. 1/2

I think I'll wait for some other forms of corroboration of these facts before treating this as anything other than the Trump admin shoehorning a crime into a narrative they're currently obsessed with. It's bad, if true.
