After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Columbus City Council voted to approve the Haslam Sports Group's land and money grab to secure an NWSL franchise in Columbus. There are a lot of people articulating why this is an awful deal but this article from @matternews.bsky.social
sums it up pretty succinctly tinyurl.com/m6k7mttd #nwsltocbus
I hope he has the courage to do the right thing.
1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.
I think there are multiple leagues and the team trying to come to Cleveland is in a different league
The Amazing Race on CBS except it’s the race to the bottom in stadium deals
Teachers fight the good fight.

Well, looks like it will happen before the vote.

Just found my first helpful use of AI: I recorded the first part of a talk I am preparing as a voice memo on my phone and asked ChatGPT to add punctuation to the transcript. It cleaned up some other transcription snafus. Probably saved me 15 minutes of editing.
I voted for projects in my district yesterday.

I guess laughs are the silver lining of a bubble before it pops
I’ve heard (secondhand) that some conservative Protestants feel concerns about growing numbers of new Catholic converts. This may be an attempt to speak to that sliver of the MAGA coalition
In state and local elections, we’re already seeing wins that tie the material impacts of the climate crisis to the cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, working class movements are taking matters into their own hands to advance climate and affordability together. (8/10)
Delivering Fast: Working families need to see immediate improvements in their lives. By intervening on the supply and demand side to quickly lower bills and provide better goods and services, we can build durable majority support for transformative green investments.
Fighting Greed: The government must rein in bad actors who fuel the climate crisis and make life worse for working people. This means regulating the fossil fuel executives, tech barons, and corporate landlords that extract exorbitant profits at our expense.
Building the Public Sector: The economy is organized to extract short-term returns at the expense of working people and our climate. The state needs the mandate, the financing tools, and the planning authority to do what private markets cannot and will not do: improve people’s lives and bring down emissions.
Mobilizing Investment: The federal government writes massive checks for destructive wars abroad and ICE terror at home, but offers mere pennies for social goods. By meeting public demand for clean energy, mobility, and industrial systems, lawmakers can create millions of high-wage, unionized jobs, ensuring a transition to an equitable, green economy.
The government can address the overlapping crises we face and rebalance power by delivering fast, fighting greed, building the public sector, and mobilizing investment. (7/10)
If you read one thing this week about the climate and energy crisis – and what we can and must do about both – then I highly recommend this from @cplusc.bsky.social. I'm on my way to New York to support the launch tonight!
The Seattle campaign for a new social housing developer is such an inspiration. Glad to learn about it today at the #JustEconomy conference
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Record high minimum temp….so far
Why "tough on crime" isn't about being tough on crime, but tough on people, in one simple graph.
ALL sorts of other government services--the ones conservative pols denigrate while wrapping themselves in Blue Lives Matter flags--play a huge role in keeping us safe.
AND healthy, educated, etc.
Bernie Moreno, my senator, is a thief, but speaks to convince fools
Propagating the myth that religious institutions are apolitical serves only fools and thieves
I know enough working class trans kids to bet she does too.
Great piece: "As Musk’s medical company falls in line with the broader BCI field, does it also drift further from his vision of human enhancement and back to regular medical assistance for those who need it most?"
