These are the hard-working Americans that #Vought #Musk and #Trump are targeting. This isn't about efficiency, it's about cruelty and destruction out of some far-right wet-dream of the collapse of the state where new kings arise to rule among the ashes. H/T @carlbergstrom.com

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

If you look up a tree and spot a Black-crowned Night Heron staring back at you, you can see how it got the common Spanish name of Garza Bruja, meaning 'Witch heron.' I love their colors and their eyes, and enjoy seeing them standing still at the edge of the lake as the sun comes up. 🪶

I'm don't think the data supports that the global far-right is radicalizing "almost exclusively young men". The global far right is recruiting large numbers of men and women in the 30-65 age bracket. The reason young men stand out in analysis is because young women are the ONLY group moving left.

The angriest I've ever been is when my pigs corraled me into my own pig zapper and I was subjected to hours of shocks calibrated to be withstood by hearty domesticated hogs. I felt humiliated, bewildered, and hurt, but looking back, I can't blame them for their pig trickery.

a corollary of my belief that it is impossible to refuse another compassion without yourself suffering is that all my opps are miserable. this feels like cope until you observe my opps, who are indeed all miserable

#fishyfeb “ancient”, and a #sundayfishsketch. The Tully Monster, a long extinct sea creature. Scientists aren’t sure whether he is a vertebrate, let alone what’s going on with that appendage. I have a stuffed one. tinyurl.com/4a7fbykp

the overall vote share for Linke is 9% so the young men are still much better than older Germans. similarly, the overall vote share for AfD is 21%. still they are really underperforming the young women and I don't love to see it.

Here is a fact that may surprise #HousingSky: Construction worker compensation hasn't been driving increasing costs of construction, at least not according to data from the gold standard gov't data source, the Economic Census Leaving this pic of one subsector to comment on later, after a dog walk.

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.
