In 2021, the president of El Salvador Nayib Bukele announced that the country would adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. This was justified to promote ﬁnancial inclusion, increasing remittance flows, and enhancing development. How did this turn out? 🧵 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Always good to have climate change on the main stage of the @munsecconf.bsky.social. If we don’t fix the climate problem, it will continue making natural resources scarcer, conflicts more likely, and life more expensive.

I saw someone on here say they don't recognize America anymore and a commenter from Latin America said something to the effect of "funny, you (USA) still look the same to me. Simply foreign policy becoming domestic." And I'm not going to lie. DOGE feels a bit like an own goal "restructuring"

Today I had the pleasure of a guided hike through Ft. Stanton with Ward 8 Woods. So many green space gems across DC - worthy of more love and investment, but also where lots of great work is already happening. Preview: finding these Don’t Trash DC signs will def net you a #TranspoBINGO square.

A big justification for universal basic income is that if the real median wage had grown as much as productivity grew over this same period of time, all three lines would be near $50 per hour. UBI can be seen as a GDP dividend. Wages will never fairly distribute GDP growth. UBI can do it directly.

For the first time in almost a decade, we did the @myschooldc.bsky.social lottery. High school deadline is Feb 3! We’d be good with our neighborhood DCPS but Owen wanted to apply to some selective high schools. The days are long (esp when arguing about essay writing); the years are indeed short.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

Federal employees sacrifice self-interest to serve the public. They inspect meat, approve medicines, build highways, protect aviation, safeguard nuclear power plants, process Social Security checks, and more. They should be thanked and celebrated. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/us/politics/t…
