Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

Feel so bad for young adults if this goes as it is looking to. Big recessions derail so many career paths and screw with so many lives. So much of life is timing. And the timing really sucks for many of these folks, who also had high school or college interrupted by COVID.

Since I’m a housing and homelessness guy I feel like I need to remind everyone that these tariffs are likely to have a cataclysmic effect on housing affordability and homelessness.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Certainly introducing massive tariffs won't create brand new infrastructure for black markets for all kinds of basic necessities. That black market infrastructure will surely help stop the fentanyl crisis. All of this random pain makes sense and considers all possible knock-on effects and is smart.

As I remember it, this wasn’t a significant part of the 2024 election. Congress has never held a vote on ending foreign aid, much less passed a bill. And the official responsible for eviscerating foreign aid and demolishing the agency that provided it was never confirmed to his made up position.

The dow is down over 500 points with tariff and inflationary concerns and the AG is defending Signal as a secure method of communication & declining to investigate the Houthi group chat fiasco. This is the Fox News landing page. Interesting choices before we even get to this POS headline #StateNews

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

American cities from above really reveal just how much urban space we've surrendered to cars and asphalt. This isn't livable design for benefiting people. This does nothing more than subsidize an industry.

A new study from @mmfa.bsky.social reaches the obvious conclusion: "The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces" This is, IMO, the single greatest threat to the left in the US, and the one to which it is most blind.
