Federal spending is up under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Words from @theimeu: Today marks 77 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land.

I had a teacher in architecture school who said you had to make cubes shorter to make them look like cubes. If not you end up with a TallCube like this.

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

We've got a new ice cream shoppe opened up just a few doors up the road. "We Scream" ice cream, and guess what? It's right across the street from "Baked AF" bakery. Livin' large and in charge!

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza. That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime. Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.

When you read these stories, always remember Elon Musk called his own immigration status a "gray area" when he came to the U.S. as a student. Musk dropped out of school and started doing things his student visa didn't permit.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Did your Democratic senator betray you yesterday by voting to give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government? Let them know you’re outraged by their decision to cave to extreme GOP demands, and that they’ve got some work to do to win back your trust: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats. An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Verandahs as a kind of vivisection, not blurring the line between inside and out but redrawing it sharply through your body, your eyes and ears and finer hairs outside and the rest of your body in, roofed against the rain & sun. A 🧵 on the camps cabins lodges of Ontario…
