To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

This is our city. We’re going to continue following & enforcing the laws to keep all Bostonians safe. And it goes without saying that our police commissioner has my complete confidence & support.

He's not big on the representative part of representative democracy, is he?

This post on the future of aid work is especially insightful—though with @kopalo.bsky.social that goes without saying

Yes a thousand times yes

So much of the coverage of bike lanes fails to accurately identify the stakes for those supporting infrastructure and those opposed to it. @momentummag.bsky.social really nails the dynamic, and I wish stories about "local opposition" were more focused on identifying who is speaking out and why.

One month in, and things are bleak. But it does seem personal resistance matters. MAGA voters didn't want tariffs and DOGE. They wanted "cat ladies" to give up and marry some MAGA douche. Not giving them the satisfaction isn't just fun. It's strategic. www.salon.com/2025/02/20/s...

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

I don't think I will ever stop being amazed at just how successful this is

I always found it mystifying how President Hindenburg and the conservative parties willingly handed over their power and constitutional checks with the Enabling Act At least in 1933 there was fear of violence/internment. GOP lawmakers appear to be simply giving up their power over the public purse

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

This is, though, another opportunity not to ask "How do we help her message reach the broader public?" but to ask "Why doesn't my member of Congress talk like this?"

Ballot #185 is from BBWAA Career Excellence award winner Peter Gammons. Five holdovers are joined by Pedroia, CC, and Ichiro - the last two of which are well positioned for election. Wagner stands at 84.% while Beltrán is at even 80% In the Tracker: tracker.fyi

also maintain the best strategy for dems is to get mcconnellpilled. "no" to everything and run on how much he sucks in the midterms

It might be cringe, but I'm going to keep repeating that Trump won by a thin margin, and that this mass capitulation which suggests a sweeping mandate is embarrassing and delusional.

in my experience the genuine male feminists are just like, nice to women and treat them normally and don’t start podcasts or seek awards for it. performative behavior should always be a red flag.

i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!
