The worst part is that there were people in lots of these states really busting their asses to try to overcome all of the gerrymandering, disenfranchisement, and voter intimidation. And the response is “lol u voted for it.”

‘They’re killing you’: US poultry workers fear faster lines will lead to more injury Workers say fast-paced conditions compound injury risks, while USDA will no longer require reports on safety data

If you think workers will report their injuries to OSHA, think again. They asked that I not share any identifying details that could lead to their visas being revoked. Visa holders are so nervous, they’re asking friends to go to the grocery store for them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There’s a larger story here about the individualization of risk for retirement. Middle income people had defined benefit plans and social security that collectivized risk. Shift to stock market savings fore retirement, and Trumps attack on Social Security individualized risk and it’ wreaking havoc

The Coming Out of a Transgender Scientist "I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

Normally, in a crisis, US gov’t bond yields fall because they are (were) considered the safest investment possible. Now, yield are suddenly rising. This indicates a couple things, but most critically: Risk premium for US debt surging. Investors view US debt as much more risky than the did a week ago
