i give it a year tops before some administration account is tweeting pro-slavery propaganda

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

anyway, the country didn't take the white supremacist underground seriously after oklahoma city and now a bunch of tim mcveigh's run the country

As an OKC resident and former teacher I’ll extend this—white supremacy is not taught at all in connection to this. It’s framed as a random act of violence

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I have long wanted to go rogue at 3am

that’s right

Mothma** (idk what it really means either. She’s slightly left and people think she’s Lenin reincarnated? Or she’s the only doing anything, and it’s barely anything lol)

And from Andor/star wars

AOC is our mon motha send tweet

I saw posts about this earlier and they seemed to be putting words in his mouth. But he actually did respond “I don’t know” to the direct question: “Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?”

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable

A YIMBY Theory of Power Pro-housing advocates offer an analysis of class relations that is more sophisticated and has more explanatory power than the one held by many critics of the “abundance agenda.”

We now live in a world of planned disasters. What kind of future is being planned for the place you call home?

By planning business as usual — which means refusing to slash emissions and rebuild on a massive scale to ruggedize against climate chaos — we are planning catastrophes.

Inaction = knowingly choosing destruction.

This has always been an obvious problem with their slapdash approach. You can temporarily “save money” on paper by deciding to randomly stop paying bills. But if it turns out you needed some of that stuff, it’s ultimately going to be more expensive.

Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.  A

The administration just announced in an Executive Order they are going to stop enforcing the CiviI Rights Act. As with all other EOs, this EO is not a law and cannot simply overturn the laws passed by Congress, although Trump + Co act otherwise. We must fight this.

“I have nothing to do with Russia” lol he couldn’t have more to do with russia if he were eating borscht and playing with nesting dolls

This would go some way to explaining the $3,600 a month on candles

Donald Trump is torturing people on US soil.

It goes without saying that he can't because this is a congressionally mandated report

‘The bomber’s words sound mainstream. Like he won!’ Oklahoma City’s tragedy in the time of Trump Revulsion at deadly Oklahoma City explosion in 1995 has faded. But echoes of the blast, and its perpetrator, Timothy McVeigh, are heard today as far-right ideas storm the US

In the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing ,the US government failed to investigate and prosecute the larger white supremacist movement of which it was an expression. Case just focused narrowly on McVeigh.

Yet another decision that looks pretty bad in retrospect.

It’s because they aren’t significantly driving up prices. They have a microscopic share of total supply, while total supply is way under what it needs to be to regulate price

there is nothing good about Harry Potter, it is tangibly and materially harmful to real people

Why the Best Bike Lanes Always Get Blamed A standoff over cycling infrastructure and traffic congestion in Toronto shows why building protected bike lanes on essential corridors draws controversy along with riders.

In Bloomberg CityLab, I explained why cities must build cycling *networks* – not just lanes.

It’s a lesson that many elected leaders have yet to learn (esp Ontario’s Doug Ford, who is taking a sledgehammer to Toronto's cycling network).

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Trump and DOGE Are Planning Deregulation at a Massive Scale The White House will soon move to rapidly repeal or freeze rules that affect health, food, workplace safety, transportation and more.

one other way to think of this is that it is a massive program of upwards redistribution to wealthy business owners who can skimp on worker, consumer and environmental safety to juice profits for themselves www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

Very cool news, and I like the name "Also" given the messaging is about using "the right tool for the job." A car company saying this to regular people is a nice development.

Schrödinger’s tarrifs may be the dumbest debacle a president has ever done. Not the most evil thing, just the dumbest.
