The thing is, once somebody proposes restricting the freedom of women to travel from one state to another, we actually don’t have to care about their ideas about marginal tax brackets or international trade or whatever

TIRED: appealing to bad faith politicians in good faith, being the grownup in the room. WIRED: just jerking a thumb towards them and going “jesus fucking christ, get a load of THIS fuck.”

It really has been *amazing* to watch so many allegedly smart dude political commentators and analysts just completely blow off the fall of Roe as inconsequential girl stuff.

It would be so delightful if both the GOP and the nattering dude pundit class got utterly embarrassed in November BECAUSE of their *total* refusal to pay attention to the impact of Dobbs (and pissed off women) on US politics.

Here’s the role that personal choice plays in climate: a lot of the things you can do for personal choice that are in some vague sense of the phrase good for climate are also good for preparing you to be climate adapted.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

Strawberries are a favorite snack on #MemorialDay. When you eat this sweet treat remember workers like Amadeo, who spend their day bent over harvesting this popular fruit. #WeFeedYou

SENATE GOP MEETING: "Before we discuss raising taxes on the poor & middle class, adding $1 trillion to the deficit, taking health insurance away from 13 million, raising premiums by 10%, defending treason and swearing in a pedophile, let's begin with a prayer." ~Jack Ziegler, TNY

the private equity acquisition process where they take out huge loans to buy a company, put those loans on the company’s balance sheet and liquidate the company to pay them off (while looting the assets) should be made illegal it is a purely destructive process and it’s absurd that we allow it

Just got a news alert saying Joann Fabrics is going into bankruptcy due to decreasing demand. Article fails to say that it was purchased by a private equity firm a while ago and recently went public and is carrying $2.4 billion in debt. Private equity strikes again.

an actually good Sydney Sweeney-themed think piece is “The Money Is in All the Wrong Places” by @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social defector.com/the-money-is...

The Money Is In All The Wrong Places | Defectordefector.com You can always tell who in Hollywood has family money by their Instagrams. People like Dakota Johnson, who have a Hollywood lineage deeper than the Mariana Trench, post only rarely. They post about so...

Note: this paper's data ends in 2018. The numbers are worse now. From 2018 to 2023, the top 1% gained another $560B in income, while the middle 40% gained $190B and the bottom 50% gained $41B. Since Reagan took office, the top 1% went from 10.7% of all income to 21%. See realtimeinequality.org

A staggering $50 trillion. That is how much the upward redistribution of income has cost American workers over the past several decades.

Great article. As with so many things in America, people want to attribute something to behavior or unique American factors and ignore the root causes: Our infrastructure is not just designed around cars; it's designed to allow cars (many of them big trucks) go as fast as possible at all times.

US pedestrian and traffic deaths are WAY up, and this isn’t happening in other comparable countries (who also have experienced Covid and the rise of mobile phones). www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

US Traffic Safety Is Getting Worse, While Other Countries Improvewww.bloomberg.com The rising rate of road deaths in the US continues to defy global trends. Here’s what traffic planners in other nations could teach their American counterparts.

It's fucking wild that CEO/Company bosses can run companies like this and be fine. They'll keep running the place while people lose their jobs.
