whats even crazier about this is that the redistribution is negative sum! if you passed a law saying "everything stays the same, but the bottom 9 deciles have to give the modeled amount of money to the top decile", then the top decile would get more money! this is a way to explain Kalecki, imo

This rules. Congrats to @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for making this alliance happen. May it govern the city and show the country what an incredible difference that a left-liberal coalition can make.

While Californians like me talk a lot about zoning to exclude the poor, New England has a long and sordid history of cities zoning specifically to exclude poor children from schools in wealthy towns by exclusively permitting studios, one-bedrooms, and age-restricted senior apartments.

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

State repression of peaceful protests can subject activists to injury and even death but—when broadcast to the world through media—often turns mass opinion against the state. bsky.app/profile/owas...

Did these storms "come out of nowhere" or has the highly accurate weather forecasting system that we came to take for granted in recent decades been decimated by Trump administration purges at the NOAA and other related agencies?

The thing that bothers me most about the Trump and Musk row is atmospheric concentrations of CO2 just passed 430 parts per million for the first time in human history leading to more intense temperatures that threaten to trigger climatic feedback loops that could destroy civilisation itself.

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

At some point the rubber meets the road for Hawley. If/when the ACA’s Medicaid expansion is cut back, Missouri is constitutionally obligated to pick up the fed’s share of funding. That’s a ton of cash. What’s Hawley do then? He will have to say Trump/GOP lied to him or take the hit directly.

Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.
