Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

I wouldn’t think “moved to root out diversity initiatives” is a useful phrase for journalism at all, but using it as a euphemism for a purge of high ranking black officers is downright Orwellian.

Smart @alonlevy.bsky.social post on why building code reform is important, but zoning reform is more urgent for getting family size apartments. Seattle allows six-story single-stair buildings, but they’re mostly full of studios: pedestrianobservations.com/2025/02/21/y...

Here's a little thread of some excellent videos of people punching up this week. First up, the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, telling Trump, "I'll see you in court," to his face and on video. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "We are the federal law" Governor Mills: "See you in court" At some point judges are going to have to decide which side they are on here.

And if the problem here is that people with the power to stop Trump are afraid, it becomes all the more necessary for the rest of us to NOT be afraid, or at least to act as if we're not afraid.

Add up the claimed savings on the DOGE website and (right now )you get $7.19b from contract savings, and $0.14b from real estate, for a total of $7.3b, or $21.47 per American. Trump is talking about giving a "DOGE dividend" of 20% of these savings. Enjoy your $4.29.

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

The de-growth "continual growth = cancer" refrain makes sense when you notice how hard they resist any and all change. In any healthy ecosystem, things (like your favorite tchotchke shop or parking lot) sometimes need to die off to make room for new things. Death is a healthy part of life.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by Republicans. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Builders describe an unpredictable atmosphere where they are passing the burden of tariffs onto consumers. Add in the risk of inflation from tariffs, interest rates could rise in response, and it would drive up costs even more. @rondakaysen.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/r...

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

My heart ached when I was reminded that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for trying to make academic knowledge more accessible to the public. Meta, meanwhile, is doing it for their own bottom line. I'm going to guess that no one at Meta will be looking at spending 35 years in jail for this.
