My work is funded by NIH grants. This doesn’t affect my salary, but it will strip the infrastructure necessary to actually run my projects, including putting together proposals for future grants. I don’t know how universities could survive this without amputating large parts of their institution.

Sheinbaum should just rebrand Mexico as "The United States" in response to mess with Trump, especially since "Estados Unidos" is already in the country's full name.

People who actually care about the working class are focused on building solidarity among a spectrum of identities without telling people to negate theirs. “Leave identity politics at the door” is just identity politics for people who see their own identities as the established norm.

I wish the Democrats pushed this narrative: the Republicans are losers. They are weird freaks who hate democracy precisely because they’ve built a deranged fantasy world to insulate themselves from the reality that most voters would never in a million years buy what they are selling.

Whenever people say "Shawn Fain should run for office", I think about how much he can accomplish as UAW president - he has levers unavailable to members of congress.

Love to see it. The progressive incumbent just crossed the 50% threshold she'd need to win the race outright (and avoid campaigning until November). She was at 44% or so on election night and has been steadily creeping up ever since (election night ballots are by mail and skew more conservative).

Not being forced to sit in your personal car do to literally anything is what separates today's L.A. and an L.A. that will would be the best city in the country, if not world. Just miles and miles of flat, easy-riding land under abundant sunshine, stretched between the Pacific and snow capped peaks.
