“I don’t think that ignoring the climate crisis is smart politics,” she said. “I think that it is dropping the ball on the biggest threat the US and the world faces.” Excellent story from @dharna.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

one of the Sisyphean goals of my life is trying to convince somebody, anybody, to make a serious attempt to roughly quantify whether police in the US cause more deaths than they prevent
Erin Fogg says Free LinkAh well what's the torturous needless preventable deaths of thousands of people a year when a stolen car is now pancaked into a tree
Have wanted to trade Duran ever since he missed games because he wouldn't get the COVID vaccine, now moving toward wishing they'd just release him
If Dems have a brand problem, perhaps centrists telling voters “I’m not like those other Democrats who hate Jews” has more to do with it than city-run grocery stores

The way student discomfort became valid the second it became right-coded, you have to laugh

Kyle Shanahan Car Crash: Police Not Releasing Body Cam FootageIt looks like we're not going to get to see what happened when cops showed up to Kyle Shanahan's car crash ... because they're not releasing the body cam footage.www.tmz.com
Whether older people are biking at all is a very clear marker of whether our streets are designed well.
Gravel InfluencerWe've had a number of older pedestrians and cyclists killed by drivers recently in Massachusetts, and something I've noticed is how those deaths are treated even more dismissively than usual because of ageism and ableism. People of *all* ages and abilities deserve safe mobility.

This what happens when we don't prosecute "white collar" crime. He's been this way his whole career and gotten away with it.

Governors should threaten to withhold federal taxes. Is that legal? Probably not. Is it realistic? Who knows. IT DOESN'T MATTER. There is political value in taking a stand and drawing a moral line. Make a spectacle of it. Fight. Force Republicans to publicly defend their monstrous behavior.
David RobertsThis 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?
The left needs a candidate it can unite around in the 2028 primaries and AOC is the only real choice. Nobody else checks all of the boxes. Every other option is worse. If she doesn't run, it's a missed opportunity of historic proportions. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/aoc-must-r...

The Roosevelt Institute asked a bunch of climate wonks to put our heads together to talk about what a national Democratic platform should look like. 2029 is really not that far away and there's a lot of work to do.
Roosevelt InstituteClimate policy isn't going away because Washington stopped talking about it. Americans are already paying the price through fires, floods, heat, and rising costs. Our new collection asks a different question: what should the next agenda for climate look like post-DOGE and the rollback of the IRA? 🧵
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

I imagine conservative men as thinking something like: 1. Being gay is Not Masculine 2. Dylan Mulvaney (& lots of other trans women!) is super hot 3. (Skinner meme) Am I a little gay? No, it is trans women who must be eradicated

Always cool to see a driver admit to causing a crash & yet cops file no charges Many reasons why our roads are so deadly, but cops refusing to charge dangerous drivers is one of them! www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
