A crime syndicate.

Listening to Talarico’s victory speech at Emo’s, via @progresstexas.bsky.social, I was struck by the difference between his vision and coalition and the traditional approach of the Old Guard represented by another candidate at the top of our ballot.

All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far According to a simple average of new high-quality surveys, 38% of Americans approve and 49% disapprove of U.S. military action in Iran. When ignoring "don't know" respondents, 56% disapprove

"The takeaway from these numbers is that the new war in Iran is very unpopular...Worst-ever-support-for-war-when-it-started unpopular. With just 38% of Americans in favor, support for bombing Iran is lower than retrospective support for the war in Iraq was in 2014."

In environmental law, those interconnections are examined through cumulative impact analysis.

Conservatives hate cumulative impact analysis and seek to limit its application and scope, seeking to escape accountability for the consequences of their actions. /2

Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

Grim.

And, disturbing that it was suppressed.

I’m not sure whether I’m bothered more by the habit of suppressing contrary information or by its effectiveness.

Part of the issue seems to be that having received the diploma she’s now unable to attend a vocational program. If so, that’s seems a misguided restriction.

I was forced to watch TV news when I had breakfast in a diner recently and I strongly resonated with the sentiment that being an intelligent person in America today is like being awake during a surgery.

Giant board game fair Spiel Essen has expanded again to ‘max out’ its venue space amid “overwhelming interest” from exhibitors. The show's exhibition floor is now bigger than 15 American football pitches:

Somewhere in the redistricting coverage there is likely a map or chart that shows districts relative to the 2024 Presidential election.

After grueling hand count in 2024, a Texas county tries again When Gillespie County Republicans hand-counted the 2024 primary, it took all night and led to several errors. That didn’t stop them from doing it again in 2026.

For those following what's going on in Texas: @jessicahuseman.bsky.social was in Gillespie County last night where Republicans once again hand-counted ballots

Billboard ad for public transit visible from a freeway filled with cars and congestion, that says “You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

One of the best of all time.

“You’re not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

Wish we had come up with that one. #UrbanTruth
