Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

this is immoral, ineffective, and stupid. The conservative narrative is homelessness is a personal choice. No it’s a societal failure. www.kqed.org/news/1202984...

The National Weather Service took more than 150 years to build. Forget flight or the internet or whatever - public-service systems like this are the marvels of the modern world. Conceptual cathedrals, constructed across generations and dedicated to the public good.

This is potentially a huge deal, since it is an internal appeals board laying out criteria saying some probationary firings were illegal, e.g. for citing performance rationales with no evidence. Could rippled out to include many more employees. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

This is a deeply concerning (and frankly, mystifying) development at the CDC that has totally flown under the radar. PRAMS provides basic public health surveillance of maternal-child health outcomes and they have quietly shut it down.

Activists who help topple authoritarian regimes sometimes struggle to transition into legislators responsible for governing a state. One of the US's problems right now is the opposite: legislators used to governing a democratic state don't grasp how to be activists against an authoritarian regime.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Axios' capitulation to Trump on the Gulf of Mexico means its no longer a news site worthy of a single cent of any Democrat or anyone who is pro-American. No news source that bows down in such a humiliating manner on such an insignificant issue can be trusted to tell the truth when it really matters.

I’m of multiple minds on this…I think this holds explicitly for low-info voters (a non-trivial share of the voting pop), but there are many pissed GOPers who are not persuadable (ie iowan farmers or like a plurality of white folks in MS) and the trick is to be able to discern the difference.

Seattle's tech wealthy waged a frenzied war against it. Seattle's quisling city council moved the ballot to February to suppress turnout. Nonetheless, the voters of Seattle have overwhelmingly approved a measure funding a social housing agency by taxing the rich. www.cascadepbs.org/politics/202...

Counting isn’t done, but so far, votes show that Seattle residents are strongly in support of funding social housing, and Prop 1A—creating a payroll tax to raise $50 m/year for the purpose—is leading 58–43%. Huge news for the social housing movement in the US.

Rest in peace to a man that saw a huge problem that was at the core of our entire transportation and housing system, and then kept going for 30 years while everyone ignored him. I am glad he started to see people realizing he was right.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Why target USAID when it’s <1% of budget? “USAID funds democracy-promotion programs around the world, including in European countries where right-wing populist movements are thriving. Musk has become an ally of those movements, some of whose leaders have specifically targeted the agency…” Gift link
