A technique with a storied history. During Mao's Great Leap forward, his propagandists hailed one fantastical harvest after another, calling them “Sputnik harvests,” on par with the success of the Soviet satellite.

This isn't good: "BLS is reducing sample in areas across the country. In April, BLS suspended CPI data collection entirely in Lincoln, NE, and Provo, UT. In June, BLS suspended collection entirely in Buffalo, NY." #EconSky www.bls.gov/cpi/notices/...

Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...

🧵 In this week's DisabilitYIMBY, I reflect on a recent hospitalization and what it says about our interconnected and endangered #healthcare system. My stay was made possible because of Oakland's beleaguered 911 system, recently-disrupted IV supply chains, quickly disappearing… 1/3

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

I had the wonderful opportunity to listen to @seemiaroll.bsky.social present the other day and something she talked about that I wish more people understood is that Medicare for All actually leaves out a lot of disabled folks and a universal program should be more like Medicaid coverage.

More than 2 weeks in and the dog we are dog sitting still doesn't understand I'm a quadriplegic and can't grab its toys off the floor. Tried very hard to make it understand that if it brings toys up onto the lazy boy, I can throw them, but no luck... #disability

It's pretty fantastic that Ukraine blew up 40 strategic bombers right before these talks are set to start

The media and JD Vance said that mass deportations were the main plank of the Trump housing policy. So, MAGAs taking deportees' apartments was a campaign promise

just checking in on the president before bed… he just reposted some qanon brain rot about how joe biden was secretly executed in 2020 and replaced with a clone and/or robot 👍

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

With all due respect to op, in comradely critique, what we see here is that they are facing mass spontaneous resistance to their raids and they need crowd control techniques and tear gas to even do what they want to do. This is a video of increasingly effective resistance, not total police control

🧵🧵 People on Medi-Cal, myself included, used to deal with the Draconian $2,000 asset limit... A figure that wasn't changed since 1980 and would be almost $8,000 today adjusted for inflation. With the limit gone, many of us have more savings for emergencies & Independence. This would tear that away

“Workers like Weidner would receive a bump in pay and paid time off… “If passed, it will be the very first time that our home care workers would be eligible for paid time off, so they could actually take a sick day,” said Carrie Fowler, an organizer for the United Home Care Workers Union.”

The subway is an insane asylum now.

As someone who took the subway every day for, I don't know, 30 years maybe, this honestly pisses me off. Whether it was Philly or NYC or DC, I rode the train every goddamn day. Never a problem. And slandering public trans as the transpo secretary while never having used it yourself is dogshit

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts the FDA's own publication from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

Driving in traffic is a frustrating and unpleasant chore; and building our society around the assumption that every adult would drive everywhere all the time was a huge mistake.
