If there isn't a "Death of Stalin"-esque comedy about the events of the past week made within the next few years, I'm gonna be extremely disappointed.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

Important dispatch from @michaelrlowry.bsky.social, a meteorologist at the front lines of hurricane season. I especially appreciate his highlighting that it's not just forecasts - those forecasts only exist when they're embedded in an ecosystem of rigorous observational data and research. 🎁 link

Newsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence. This piece ties together everything I've ever written. www.wheresyoured.at/the-era-of-t...

@nogodsnomayors.com @postoctobrist.bsky.social Tiffany Henyard loses her job on Monday; Dolton Man elected Pope on Thursday. There's absolutely no way that's just a coincidence.

If you're looking for a break from insane political news (and who isn't), I cannot recommend this 3-part podcast series about one of America's first female sportswriters more highly.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

It's actually wild. There's literally no mention of why Jackie Robinson is important in the MLB press release. At all. Just that he "played his first Major League game on April 15, 1947."

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

I’m really not sure how much this matters. We’ve seen ICE play shell games to avoid habeas petitions, as with Ozturk. So they just shuffle you around until your “reasonable time” is up, bundle you off to CECOT, and then whoops—no more jurisdiction!

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

I've worked in mfg for almost 20 years and can 100% vouch for this. Bringing a factory for a complex mfg process like this fully online takes years of work and billions of dollars. I would LOVE to reshore stuff like this, but it's a fantasy.
