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...

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy.
I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all.
Out in October with Random House.
Celebrate every win, honor every courageous fight kudos to the tireless work of Haitian Bridge Alliance and FLIC, among many others, who organized us to this place. #KeepThemHome
Schumer is out of step with his caucus and should step aside.
Devastating: Hampshire College is permanently closing following the Fall 2026 Semester. A beautiful institution & community that has done so much for so many. My child is a current Hampshire senior. Hampshire's approach to education is so unique, humane, & exciting—I've seen it first hand. Tragic
Let's spin up the broken record.
If we're serious about CO₂ removal, we can't rely on one tech company to make it happen. It has to be a governmental effort at all levels.
some vintage sub-text-based microblogging right here
25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.
It is obviously very bad that a demented old man is mashing the big red “kill random people” button his desk. But the real problem is that the button is there in the first place.
This open threat of war crimes is pure sociopathic bloodlust and sadism but it's also another sign that he's failing and that he's in a fury about it.
This is real
It’s being done in our name
Congressional Republicans are okay with this
This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Irans had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have had a much different country.
objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

Incredible scenes from today's pro-Magyar, anti-Orban rally in Budapest. Only 4 weeks left until the most consequential election in the EU this year

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
Media challenge: Stop using the word "immigration" in phrases about abduction, assault, murder, and so on. Immigration means the movement of people into a country for purposes of residency. What's being "enforced" here is terror & crimes against humanity.
not me laughing out loud in my lonely home office, reading @sabs.bsky.social defector.com/high-level-a...
OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
Are you annoyed by Boston's snow covered bike lanes?
It's now been well over a week since Boston's snowstorm, and yet most protected bike lanes are unusable because of the snow.
