In a nutshell. 😊

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:

“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

Newly released records detail police response to lawmaker attacks Authorities first identified Vance Boelter as a suspect within three hours of the start of the politically motivated rampage.

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

This talent CEO says laid-off tech workers are ignoring a $300K ‘white-collar trade job’ with 81K openings a year | Fortune As AI layoffs threaten the white-collar workforce, the $700 billion data center build-out is minting six-figure technician roles, and employers can’t fill them fast enough.

Utterly clueless as to what it takes to become a licensed electrician in hours, equipment, training, and marketing. It's almost like these people have no clue how the world works...

An opinion with a ruling would be nice. I get that they may have Nats tickets, but Supreme Courting is their job.

Conscientious Objectors arrested for protesting War Machine. "My advice to troops still serving is this,” he said, “This is the most important historical moment of our lifetime, and what you choose to do matters." #MerchantsOfDeath

Cory Booker scolds people for not opposing Donald Trump hard enough. Cory Booker also voted to confirm 4 Trump appointees, voted to pass his corrupt Crypto legislation, and refused to endorse the Democratic nominee for NY Mayor. He's a snake.

Democratic Party electeds tend to rely extremely heavily on polling memos and message testing. And yet I’ve never seen any memo or poll that indicated that scolding would-be voters was effective persuasion or mobilization.

Interesting what gets an exception from the focus group requirement!

And one of my five is out! Trump continues his habit of forcing out only his female Cabinet secretaries.

Linkages between historical redlining and contemporary indicators of structural racism and discrimination across 5 North Carolina metropolitan areas Historical manifestations of structural racism and discrimination (SRD; e.g. 1930s redlining) have been linked to current adverse health outcomes, yet less is known about linkages to present-day ne...

In terms of gentrification, we found that "Most tracts deemed either “gentrified” or “intense gentrification” were formerly classified as Grade C, while the majority of formerly redlined (Grade D) tracts were considered “eligible, not gentrified.” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?

Ohhhh so this is what the AI in AIPAC stands.for

Border-area mass surveillance and its resulting harassment is something you'll hear about if you talk to any person that lives near the border or who has to cross it regularly.

What we lost when we lost Self magazine The almost 50-year-old publication was a lifeline for chronically ill readers.

After Condé Nast's decision to close SELF, I spoke to chronically ill women about what the women's health site meant to them.

"We have to acknowledge chronic illness as a politically, culturally, and socially marginalized category"

San Francisco is getting ravaged by multiple viruses. Experts aren't sure why. Changing vaccine recommendations could be partly to blame.

do health reporters have a keyboard macro for "changing vaccine recommendations could be partly to blame"? if not, they should!

It’s Official: Poverty Got Worse Under Joe Biden A new Census Bureau report establishes that poverty increased over the course of the Biden administration. The data is yet another rebuke to the politicians and commentators who insisted economic cond...

This too. Biden made things worse, not better.

When the single issue is "stop the genocide," or, "please do something so I can afford to meet my basic needs," or, "stop enacting laws designed to hurt people like me," and the answer is, "no," can you not understand how that will convince people to not vote for that candidate?

Shorter version: Roberts really is the sum total of his actions, no better but possibly even worse. It’s possible he’s done more damage to this country than any other man alive.

How Trump's messaging on Iran has shifted since saying they "agreed to everything" Less than 48 hours after President Trump said Iran has "agreed to everything," he threatened the whole country would get "blown up" without a deal soon.

Trump's mental condition along with the situation he created, makes it likely that he is either delusional or may be spoofed. A very dangerous situation for the entire world.

Expanding on this:
Teach quotation, summary, paraphrase, citation at the beginning of every class, first activity after syllabus overview. Logic of citation, being able to retrace scholarly steps, replicate their work.

"Those 8 children in Shreveport aren't a natural disaster.They're the consequence of choices—legal, political, cultural—that can be made differently. The only reason it feels otherwise is that we keep pretending the alternative is impossible. It isn’t. We just haven’t been willing to want it enough"

I’m not sure it’s more complicated than an insecure need to affirm that their absurd wealth = genius and they think this is what geniuses do

"Patriarchy offers a better explanation for this violence. Patriarchy teaches men that women and children belong to them, that they are property that men get to have"

No public servant should have immunity for a killing. They should all face a jury.
