I completely forgot about this!

Beto O’Rourke: How Texas can save America Big media, law firms and the Ivy League are bending the knee. We Texans are fighting back.

If we’re unable to organize politically, freely contest political decisions, peacefully and democratically vie for power, then we no longer live in a democracy. At that point, we’re once again subjects.

That’s why we’re fighting so hard for our rights in TX.

Business of Fashion headline reads: "Ssense to File for Bankruptcy Protection After Creditors Push for Sale The Canadian luxury e-tailer told employees on Thursday that the filing was necessary as tariffs took an unexpected toll on the business, and to preempt a forced sale by lenders, BoF has learned."

Trump's tariffs causes SSENSE to file for bankruptcy protection. Devastating to small designers, as SSENSE is an important retailer for them.

Live from North Carolina for a Powered by People Town Hall YouTube video by Beto O'Rourke

Back on Bluesky (to stay), wanted to share what I’m up to.

Held a town hall in Charlotte (see below) earlier in the week. There’s power in people coming together and listening to one another. If you get a chance to watch some of it, let me know what you think. www.youtube.com/live/cRettGN...

It's still insane to me how many people are in complete denial about the, objectively speaking, historic excellence of the US economy under Biden. The right-wing "up-is-down" disinformation campaign was incredibly successful at pushing the lie that the economy was somehow bad.

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

The NCI just shut down PDQ Updates for Health Professionals. One of the most trusted, evidence-based oncology resources—gone. Due to HHS restructuring and staff cuts. It’s not a joke. It’s a policy failure.

Every member of Congress — Republican and Democrat, House and Senate — should hold a live, in-person town hall in their district this week.

"Helly was never cruel."

why couldn't they just pick mainline protestant and hold bake sales?

CJ is an old friend and a longtime cDc NSF member. He suffered a fall and broke his neck -- his insurance refused to pay for an MRI, which led to the break going undiagnosed for a couple of weeks, until his vertebrae had degraded to the point of quadriplegia.

I am glad to hear that! I had many large breakers though, including solar.

Works great but pricey. Big tax breaks as part of the IRA but I expect that to disappear in the new year.

The car, heat pump, and dryer easily put it over for me.

After several years of work I fully transitioned my home off of fossil fuels. Heat pump HVAC, heat pump hot water, induction stove, and electric cars. Most difficult step: having PG&E upgrade my underground service in SF to 200A. That took years.

Oh, no, I always looked this old and no it didn’t accelerate.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.

I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

Can we just talk about art? I would rather talk about art. Anyone see any mind-blowing shows this year?
