This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

this is genuinely, entirely insane

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

"Are they fearful of the socialists’ plans to ensure all Americans have health care and stop genocide, or are they not horrified by what Trump has done. Here’s what scares me: that Allen and VandeHei would say “yes” to both," writes @alexshephard.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2136...

one thing i'll note here is that we are running US refineries absolutely flat out - 97.5% utilization at most recent read - and we are holding ~steady in the [very low!] inventories of diesel [distillate] and gasoline. one problem - an accident, malfunction, whatever - and that doesn't hold anymore

It's genuinely insane that it's a mainstream belief that the problem with COVID was that we did *too much* to address it.

That 65% Trump corruption doesn't matter from Rs... whew.

actual whoa. one of my favorite books, that begat one of my favorite art pieces - a friend made a gorgeous rendition of some of the text from IC and it has hung over our fireplace for years. don't think i can get to edinburgh in time. sob!

around making food cheaper. But this is a very different time and a very different context. Maybe this experiment turns out great, maybe it's a failure. You either win or you learn. Then you iterate. Absolutely worth trying.

and with your family is part of the Good Life. Don't just order an expensive burrito and have it delivered via burrito taxi guy while a cut goes to some tech middleman. Sure. It's NYC. You can always, always go out, but in is Good too. I would want to know more about the history of other experiments

Making groceries specifically cheaper, and not food halls like are being discussed, signals a hedonic framework. @anatosaurus.bsky.social had an old great Anat-ism for this: a chicken in every pot and we're going to get you off work and home in time to cook it. It's saying, having time to cook for

Predatory capitalism has been running pretty much unchecked my entire adult life. Decades. We're going to need to try a bunch of things to start to slow this massive flywheel down and start spinning it in the direction of more equity. Another era of bold and persistent experimentation. Even further:

I help with (and occasionally am on) a podcast that’s precise main purpose is breaking through this dynamic!! bsky.app/profile/wayt...

This episode is a great example. Joe talks to enormous numbers of people, ergo he knows very many things! Lots more than me even, it’s completely awesome. bsky.app/profile/wayt...

everybody for forty years: get rid of these stupid bus things donald trump: what this place needs is some fake gold leaf detailing

HOW DO YOU KNOW MY DAD

If you are concerned about this please listen to Charting the Way Forward, it’s literally the entire point!!

only one man alive could make Dulles worse

“The DNC‘s funding problems are a capital revolt” is, the more that I think about it, the key to understanding all of Dem politics right now. The capital is not donating to the DNC bc Ken Martin won’t make promises to crypto or other big money/corp donors. More places should be reporting on this!
