A market for the rights to Trump-tariff REFUNDS — as investors are “making their bets that the US Supreme Court will eventually strike down” his “sweeping reciprocal tariffs.”

Last month, Chad’s Ministry of Health, with support from the Reaching the Last Mile Fund, led a major effort to stop the transmission of river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. Implemented with The Carter Center’s help, the campaign treated nearly 3 million people across 29 districts. #BeatNTDs

People’s brains are fried by the 15 stories a year of a cyclist hitting a pedestrian but completely ignore the 40k per year that are killed by cars.

News is news because it’s different from the norm. But the process of reporting tricks our lizard brains into thinking what’s in the news is common.

Proud to work here.

LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday the U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September – unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza and takes steps toward long-term peace.

Clearly this is a #running #runningpunks #strava post, and no disrespect intended to the Norwegian 4x4 (best workout).

New running work out today. The American 4x4.

Questionable VOMax gains. Incredible added value for job.

God bless the U.S.A.

Here's a small example of a different way USAID cuts are impacting people around the world. Definitely worth a (quick) read!

Harrowing story 👇

Great example of the storytelling, and global impact, that I get to be part of working at The Carter Center!

Nice reminder about this essay and relationship, and amazing to reflect on what this meant to me at the time and how it previewed the next five years of my life.

Everyday more evidence to bolster the decision to leave my DoS-funded and -driven job.

Did not plan it this way but my interim week between jobs aligns with the first rounds of the French Open.

I am a genius.

Opinion | Today’s Young People Need to Learn How to Be Punk

If they unleashed themselves offline, I'm convinced today's weirdoes would break records in how fast the SQ changes.

Turnstile, Hardcore Punk’s Breakout Band, Can’t Be Contained

I've come late to every single band since 2004, and I'm happy I came late to this one. Makes me feel young which is what I want music to do most of the time.

A fundamental promise by America’s founders — that no one should be punished by the state without a fair hearing — is under threat, a growing chorus of federal judges say. That concept of “due process under law,” borrowed from the Magna Carta and enshrined in the Bill of Rights, is most clearly imperiled for the immigrants President Donald Trump intends to summarily deport, they say, but U.S. citizens should be wary, too. Across the country, judges appointed by presidents of both parties — including Trump himself — are escalating warnings about what they see as an erosion of due process caused by the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. What started with a focus on people Trump has deemed “terrorists” and “gang members” — despite their fierce denials — could easily expand to other groups, including Americans, these judges warn.

This, from @kyledcheney.bsky.social, is how you cover Stephen Miller's set up comment about habeas corpus: buried in ¶10 after framing it correctly as an effort to undercut the judges who are warning of real threat to due process.

Introducing a new generation to the community-building power of Food Not Bombs. Proud of my kid and my friends' cool kids for their interest in radical use of public space, their chopping skills and burgeoning organizing expertise!

I mean it's fine to not know. There's plenty I don't know about many religions, including evangelicals. But to just consume propaganda and weaponize it, which is what I've experience from southerners against Catholics, is wild.

It was wild, when my brother married an evangelical, his understanding of our faith turned, well, plain wrong.

Happy election day Canada. Get out there and vote if you haven't already.

For what it's worth, I don't recommend living under a far-right gov't run by technobros. Vote wisely.
