This program has the potential to develop a lot of housing – market-rate and affordable alike – that the city definitely needs, throughout all 50 wards. Kudos to the alders and the Mayor for getting this through Council.

Your regular reminder that Elon Musk has called us "the parasite class" while he continues to take billions of our taxpayer money. So who is the parasite sucking the life blood out of America?

Casar: "The party of 'very fine people on both sides' or 'Jewish space lasers' does not give a damn about stopping antisemitism. If my Republican colleagues want to stop the spread of antisemitism, maybe they should stop apologizing for and promoting antisemites."

"It's not a fight over whether Democrats become more moderate or more progressive. Voters want Democrats to be more aggressive. They want to see Democrats standing up to Donald Trump, pushing back, fighting. It's not really related to policy, it's about posture and attitude."

Does he, or do his adherents, EVER get tired of using the same words and phrases as a one-size-fits-all broad-brush attack on anything he dislikes? Even dogs can start ignoring dog whistles if they’re used too much.

Having spent some time in the last year as a substitute teacher (don't ask), teachers are overwhelmed. Students will tell you that calling on them to answer a question is bullying. They are gliding towards ignorance and don't even have the decency to let the kids that want to learn do so in peace.

The Guardian has an 'explainer' about the India-Pakistan conflict that manages to avoid stating that the border between the countries was originally drawn by an Englishman who had never been to India and signed off on in a hurry by Lord Mountbatten because he had to get back to Britain for a party.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

Every study about vaccines that comes out is like "this vaccine is 97% effective at preventing this disease & also 3 other diseases & it somehow helps you play the violin beautifully" and antivaxxers are doing their own research that's telling them they can cure measles by eating polar bear liver.

THREAD: As India launches strikes against Pakistan tonight, misinformation is rapidly spreading online. I'll fact-check viral falsehoods in this thread. This video, viewed over 660,000 times, shows Israeli air strikes on Gaza in October 2023. It's unrelated to Indian strikes tonight.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...
