“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
Even at this late date crypto's only real use case is Crime Facilitation. You can quite easily assume anyone who supports it supports Crimes!
News is too important to the life of our civic democracy to be left to the whims of market capitalism.
Similarly, news is too important to the life of our civic democracy to be left to the whims of extant nonprofit funding models and oversight.

Trump: We track Santa. We want to make sure that Santa is being good. We want to make sure that he's not infiltrated, that we're not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa. Santa loves Oklahoma like I do. You know, Oklahoma was very good to me in the election
The condescension and moral preening are getting all the glory in this email, but don’t sleep on the new head of CBS News declaring that the last 7 days were a “slow news week.”
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."
Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.
lol she got his ass and he knows it
Didn't Tuesday's election results show that it actually WAS working???
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment
Gosh, thanks, Google (whose algorithms have long pushed users toward extremist content, because profit is everything and humanity is nothing, to Google).

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record:
This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.
so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:
If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.
At event in DC, Sen. Chris Van Hollen keeps it going with Hakeem
Jeffries over not endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: if you can’t back the kind of campaign he ran, “don’t ask those young people to show up for other Democrats across the country — that’s the message that will be sent.”

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s
Seven countries currently get 100 percent of their electricity from renewable energy. Norway and Costa Rica are at 98 percent
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
If Joseph Robinette Biden threatened to invade Miami and put American troops on the ground in some AI generated slop, there would be a five alarm fire, Ron DeSantis would be on every television decrying totalitarianism and calling for impeachment, and @jaketapper.bsky.social would be writing a book.
be loud for america is probably one of the most cogent things a dem politician has said in recent years
