Another ominous development: The Social Security Administration is no longer allowing parents in Maine to register newborns for SSNs at hospital after birth, is instead requiring them to visit a Social Security Office to register their children. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...

Trump shut down entire refugee resettlement system; halted scheduled flights for already-vetted Afghan allies; told Ukrainians we offered temporary sanctuary to that they are now subject to deportation. But, (presumably white) South African farmers are getting some new "rapid pathway to citizenship"

This is the room he'll be speaking in, where people plan to stand and politely clap and then blather about "respecting the office."

I’m a big fan of JVL, but I can’t abide this. Those words meant something, and whatever the current circumstance, I’ll spend the rest of my days trying to make sure they mean something again.

said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.

For highway projects, states only pay 20% and federal government pays the rest, but for California High Speed Rail the ratio is flipped around - 80% comes from state government.

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

This is what you get when you go to the USAID website right now. This is wildly illegal and unconstitutional.

The news getting you down? I invite you to stare at this chart of solar and wind deployed capacity in China. They blew past their ambitious 2030 target... last July.

In a functioning society, the Republican AGs submitting amicus briefs in support of ending birthright citizenship would be disbarred, shunned in polite society, and yelled at wherever they went in regular society.

Every lawyer who signs their name to a brief or pleading arguing the president can cancel birthright citizenship by executive order should be disbarred. I'm dead serious.

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

The NTSB is now forcing news outlets and reporters to get updates on two recent plane crashes only on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter; the agency says it will no longer email reporters and news outlets about upcoming press conferences or with other investigation-related information.

Serious Mad King territory. Trump orders Army Corps of Engineers to drain CA reservoirs storing water for summer-fall use onto already flooded Central Valley farms nowhere near LA, tweets that if only people had listened to him when he wanted to do this last time, no fires

I got €31.50 this month for cycling to work, when I lived further away from the office it was about €50 per month – enough that a decent bike pays for itself, and its own repairs/parts, in a few years Absolutely fantastic system

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants. "If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."

Hear me out: you take the hard-won products of journalism, science, art and creativity, you use vast amounts of electrical energy during a time-sensitive energy transition to re-jumble the words and sentences, and then you present the outputs as being better and more trustworthy than the original

It's absolutely incredible how ostensible leftists miss the point on this. No one is saying you can't have a treat or that delivery doesn't exist elsewhere. The problem is that cheap and ubiquitous delivery services are the direct result of exploiting the shit out of the delivery workers

Not to get all "parenthood changes your whole perspective," but I do think becoming a dad has made me even less tolerant of Bluesky's doomer brigade. I'm completely uninterested in having depressive strangers lecture me about how my daughter's future is written and there's nothing we can do.
