This is a really great tribute.
Americans can't afford groceries, but Trump wants his billions.

Forty years ago, today, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in mid air after being launched, killing all 7 crew members; one was a school teacher. It was a sad day for space travel & history.

“Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections”
Great take.
When someone tells you children’s programming in their day was nonpolitical, they are really saying they weren’t a very bright child.
It's almost as if...
Announcements Sullivan Elementary • 10:30 AM • To: Sullivan Elementary Hello Sullivan Families, we have learned that ICE is sending out flyers offering food support to families. For your safety, do not respond to these offers. If your family is in need of support, please contact the school and we will connect you with one of our School Social Workers. Thank you!
There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.
ICE is lurking around Albany elementary schools. That they are allowed anywhere near schools is ridiculous. There’s no reason why they need to be walking the same halls a babies. None.
Trump’s regime is treating the Declaration’s list of grievances like it’s a checklist
I hope you're right. They go against the most fundamental premises of the USA.
Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
Just a terrible, heartbreaking loss. I'm so sorry to hear.
Woo!!! One of my favorite econ papers is from @filipecampante.bsky.social and co-authors showing that doing well in Afcon can improve national integration and reduce civil conflict so🤞and excellent work Super Eagles #AFCON
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
After killing a mother in cold blood on the streets, ICE is now engaging in home delivery of police brutality in Minneapolis.
Nothing could be more directly at odds with the Constitution's protections of personal liberty.
Just a reminder that research from social scientists and historians for years has shown that the modern conservative movement can be largely traced to racial integration. See Kevin Kruse’s book “White Flight” for one of the best example of this work. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social
Interesting company
It is tragic that President Trump, who I do not support, and Nicolas Maduro, who I do not support, didn't join forces with Vladimir Putin, who I do not support, to form the greatest alliance the world has ever known, which I would not support.

How should America's occupying forces govern Venezuela? We asked four unvaccinated MAHA moms at an Amway party in Jacksonville.
The top 15 billionaires got $1T richer in 2025.
Remember the all the handwringing that stimulus checks were too generous and ruined the economy?
If we’d sent that $1T to households instead, total stimulus would’ve exceeded all 3 pandemic check rounds combined.
How is this the responsible option?
Knicks did end up losing 🙃
Amazing.
First thing that caught my eye was the Knicks-Spurs rematch so I was confused for a moment.
In response to: "post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains."
With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.
