do the people who routinely drive >80 mph on a 55 or 65 open highway just take the risk or is there some social road rule I’m unaware of?

If the CDC is no longer the reliable source of health guidance it once was, where can Americans turn to for trustworthy information? Yasmin Tayag reported in September:
Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.
Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.
He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.
What more do people need to see?
give the mayor a drink or two. he is a class act
@profcew.bsky.social at the #GlobeSummit2025: Reviving the middle class is a policy choice- through good jobs, high wages, and strong benefits. And expanding paths to wealth, savings, and homeownership. Protecting people from shocks is good policy. @bostonglobe.com @mccormackgradatumb.bsky.social
We know that wealth is deeply unequal... by race, education, and region, and these gaps aren’t accidental. They’re the result of centuries of unequal policy choices. To truly build a middle class in, policy must center equity @bostonglobe.com #GlobeSummit2025 @mccormackgradatumb.bsky.social
Income pays the bills. Wealth creates security. @bostonglobe.com #GlobeSummit2025 @mccormackgradatumb.bsky.social
Middle class isn’t just about having good income. It’s about having enough wealth to feel secure. That means having:
A stable home
A secure retirement
Enough for your kids’ education
A cushion for emergencies

Image featuring a quote by Senator Bernie Sanders that reads, "Every day, millions of Americans worry about how they're going to pay their rent, pay for childcare, pay for a doctor's visit when they get sick. I heard Trump speaking for 90 minutes tonight. I didn't hear one word from him about the economic reality facing 60% of our people or the enormous stress that they are living under."
Pete Buttigieg had a powerful response to Trump's address last night: Trump works for his billionaire buddies, not for everyday Americans.
sending buckets of joy to anyone who watched that bs this evening. there is hope, we have to be the hope
yea but now that I think about it some more, it’s the polarization specifically that bulldoze democracy. and I don’t think that’s anywhere close to an even split.
there has never been a non-bloody revolution and the country is already split 50/50 so…
Well thank you, Oscars, for responding to this post with the No Other Land win and speech.
#hulu totally jacking my joy rn
how are you watching it? My Hulu crashed like 20 minutes ago and says I don’t have an account
Here comes the argument that we are “high-risk” rather than under-supported.
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
There is so far no reason to disbelieve any government data set and I deeply trust the civil servant economists at the BLS, BEA, and Census. If the numbers start getting monkeyed with we are absolutely going to hear about it.
Plagued with the notion that my/our (perceived?) desire for change is still so distant from the reality of a true revolution. #4amcantsleep #stillafirstworldproblem
the worst part about today is that my electric tea kettle died. it’s got to be an omen
How many of us green card holders/naturalized citizens would give it up for 5m? Absurdity.
