Also always remember that the Miami crash in 1926 is what actually started the Great Depression, and the capital of the 2007/8 crash was Miami. When the Miami bubble bursts it tends to take the entire country with it. That leads to federal intervention, which is how the place can justify low taxes.

Imagine NYC, Singapore or Hong Kong (cities Miami has actively tried to emulate) without any meaningful social housing policy that forms the backbone of those places as livable, global financial capitals. Just let it rip, the poor will just have to deal with it. That's the entire vibe.

Not a surprise to anyone living in Miami. On top of higher costs the wages are much lower. The place is heading for a kind of demographic collapse and simultaneous inflationary spiral because the bartender/barista/ waiter class is moving out unless they get paid more, so prices keep going up etc.

NEW: Concacaf joins UEFA in rejecting FFE, instead imploring FIFA to find ways to increase funding for FIFA Forward through its current means and asking that "any matter follows the proper governance processes" in future full statement: www.concacaf.com/competitions...

Clear evidence here that the president has actual malice towards large parts of the population just because they hurt his feelings politically

Here's an article on that www.wlrn.org/government-p...

A federal judge Miami a few weeks ago casually told a court room full of clerks and interns to transfer all the habeus cases to him so that he could order them all to finally have immigration court hearings. It was fascinating, I was in the courtroom. Other judges could do the same.

Last year Moreno gushed so hard over the Florida Brightline train he joked he was doing a commercial for them and said an irrevocable point had been proven: the government should get out of the train business, leave it to private sector. Brightline is declaring bankruptcy literally any day now.

The Alien Terrorist Removal Court, created in 1996, just heard its first case in 30 years. It lets a deportation proceed while the government keeps its evidence classified and secret. (thread) www.justsecurity.org/148285/the-a...

Same guy trying to eliminate the International Criminal Court for some reason.

A federal judge has approved a US$1.5 billion copyright settlement in which artificial intelligence company Anthropic will pay thousands of authors about US$3,000 per book after using pirated copies of their works to train its Claude chatbot.

“The Roberts Court sees only white. It refuses to acknowledge who the Equal Protection Clause was written to protect. The freed people, their descendants, and all others denied equal citizenship. The 14th Amend. is not colorblind. It never was.” Me? No a judge www.courts.state.hi.us/wp-content/u...

Disclaimer that I wasn't there for a chunk of it because I'm with my 1 and a half year old and, yeah... But as we walked by an hour or so after it started my kid just got his first whiff of teargas. Still ongoing.

I'm in Bologna Italy for a few days. Yesterday police here killed Moroccan man Abderrahim Fakir while apprehending him, looking very much like a George Floyd situation. The city erupted in protest today and I caught a good part of it. That's his sister talking about justice. Then the teargas.

“Two courses for the fall of 2026 were canceled outright, while several more had to alter their syllabi to comply. Professors teaching those courses told The Chronicle they weren’t provided with any rationale for why their “exception requests” were partially or fully denied.”

People forget that in the run-up to the 2020 election Trump was pointing at the 2016 election, which he won, as evidence that elections are rigged. Tells you basically everything you need to know about the folly of using logic with him or his supporters on this issue.

If we can't agree this is despicable there is nothing more to say

Miami-Dade's brushfires helped reveal that ICE violated over 100 court orders in South Florida (via @danielrivero.bsky.social)

This transcript of Rubio and Miller talking about the current pivot from focusing on Islamic terrorism to "left wing" terrorism is well worth a read. One passing mention of Nazis, none of white supremacists. No mention of Oklahoma City, various mass shooting attacks. www.state.gov/releases/off...
