New blog post: the evidence is clear - demand for homes in walkable neighborhoods in the United States outstrips supply by a factor of 4 or more.

faced with a profoundly unjust decision against him, Mahmoud Khalil chooses to show incredible solidarity

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Cars ruin cities in more ways than just running people over. Paris has reduced air pollution by 50-55% over the past 20 years through policies limiting traffic and banning polluting vehicles.

Any questions? www.rawstory.com/book-censors...

Like how he wants to take fluoride out of the water bc *what if* it’s a neurotoxin? But also he’s cutting funding for treating lead poisoning, which is absolutely a neurotoxin. It’s because everyone’s water has fluoride (a public good!) but it’s mostly poor Black + Brown kids’ water has lead

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan 2 Tork homers that went foul by a foot lmao. Still, got the walk. Real good AB

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

I feel like the Pistons should easily be able to find an upgrade from Hardaway Jr. The dude adds nothing to this team

Pistons are playing some truly stupid basketball lmao. I'm losing my mind

Senate Democrats are so gloriously out of touch at social media that I wouldn't be surprised if the account offered us a Werther's hard candy

I really try not to harp on refs but man, the way the call the Pistons is something..

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has rejected a request from health officials in Milwaukee for help with a lead poisoning investigation, after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. eliminated the agency's response team." www.cbsnews.com/news/milwauk...

"Many of the world’s largest shipping nations decided on Friday to impose a minimum tax of $100 for every ton of carbon dioxide emitted by ships...effectively the first global tax on greenhouse gas emissions." apnews.com/article/ship...

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

What do climate protests actually achieve? More than you think. The evidence is in: Protests can persuade people, and maybe even change how they vote. grist.org/protest/clim... #Protest #Climate #GreenSky #Environment #Trump

NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

See this right here is why I want the Pistons/Knicks match up. The Pistons match up well with New York. Young teams usually don't win in the playoffs. But I think the Pistons could steal a series

Let's talk about this a lot, actually

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead. And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

it’s important to remember that a whole lot of people don’t want any of this to be happening today is a good reminder

I’m just sayin’. St Augustine FL is a town of 14,000. In a red county. And we’re doing this. #handsoff #50501 #April5 AND we have some spicy signs!

⚡️ HAPPENING NOW IN NASHVILLE — giant line to get into the Senator @elizabethwarren town hall @marshablackburn hasn’t done one in 8 years, Hagerty has never done one. So Senator Warren is here.

Portland, ME showed up. #HandsOff

This is a Movement that will only grow. Here is the scene across the nation right now at the Hands Off Protests: krassencast.com/p/scenes-fro...

#handsoff Topeka KS

Good early crowd here at the Washington Monument.

Over 500K people RSVP'd for events nationwide... and that's just people who RSVP'd for a protest. Gotta be way more.

T-30 minutes from the start at #HandsOff Boston and Massachusetts is showing UP

This is great news. I hear NOAA now has until July 31 to move websites to a new host. Which is still dumb. But not AS dumb. Cancelling contracts and then backtracking because you didn't do any research before making major decisions shows how little thought is actually put into these actions.

I'm here reporting live from the largest anti-Trump and anti-Musk protest since Trump returned to office. Stay tuned for more. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

America is embarrassing right now. We destroyed ourselves at the hands of the dumbest supervillain. The greatest self own in modern history.

Tucked away in South America, out of the spotlight, legal weed, progressive on gender, universal healthcare, great education system, nice climate, lots of beaches, and 100% renewable energy. I dunno y'all ...

For the 2nd week in a row Speaker Sexton just sent one of his overpaid goons to spy on us as we asked Republican reps questions after session So not only won’t he let us into his pressers, he’s sending henchmen to lurk next to us and report back The insecurity of authoritarianism

Ah...the traditional Republican Stock Market Crash. It usually takes them a few years to accomplish it, but this time they pulled it off during the first 100 days.

Needless to say, China still doing all the heavy lifting: 63% of global solar and wind investment in 2024, up from 62% in 2023.

Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office.

Breaking: Whirlpool announces they are laying off 651 American workers in Iowa, citing the economic conditions under Trump.

Again, if you've got a Republican representing you in Congress -- and I don't care who it is -- call them to complain about the tariffs. They're panicking.

If you want Nintendo to drop the price, it's more effective to don't buy the thing. It worked with the 3DS for those who don't remember. The initial sales were so bad that after 5 months it had a 30% price cut

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
