Breaking now. 🚨🚨🚨

Of course trump has now flipped and wants republicans in the house to vote to release the files.

Because he knows Blondi will not release them because of a newly opened "investigation" that will NEVER end.

You can’t make San Francisco up: β€œNeighborhood preservationists who are organized enough to have a website called savetheshack.net are demanding that the shacks be reassembled using as much of the historic debris that was left on-site in the demolition as possible.”

This is what they looked like:

I’m not a big supporter of violence but if the next ten or so strangers to meet Larry Summers just straight-up sucker-punch him in the face I am not going to lose any sleep.

Legacy media folks were angry to be ignored for better voices and furious to hear what people thought of them on social media. Bosses were upset that a good labor market let employees leave their failure workplaces. Small town Whites were angry to see immigrants do better than them by working hard.

She ran as a moderate. Maybe you think that’s good and maybe you think that’s bad. All I am arguing is that the endless takes about how Democrats should pivot to the center should explain why it didn’t work in this election (there are good reasons!) rather than pretending she didn’t.

More than a dozen Italian pasta makers are facing tariffs of more than 100% on their exports to the U.S., which could make their pasta prohibitively expensive. nyti.ms/4oayHRS

Screen shot of opinions that says:

So construed, it is difficult to see how Β§ 922(g) (1) honors the principle of enumerated powers. In United States v. Lopez, the Supreme Court
"identified three broad categories of activity that Congress may regulate under its commerce power. "14 "First, Congress may regulate the use of the channels of interstate commerce. Second, Congress is empowered to regulate and protect the instrumentalities of interstate commerce, or persons or things in interstate commerce, even though the threat may come from intrastate activities. Finally, Congress' commerce authority includes the power to regulate those activities having a substantial relation to interstate commerce, i.e., those activities that substantially affect interstate commerce." 15

Judge Willett, with Judge Duncan, says that he thinks 922(g)(1) β€” the bar on gun possession by felons β€” may not be authorized by the commerce clause. This is foreclosed by circuit precedent, so this is a concurrence.

Because ICE is today's Gestapo - demanding papers from people in the street, breaking down doors to get to people, and disappearing them from the communities they live in

This reminds me of all of the Stumbling Stones that I saw throughout Germany - a plaque for every person who was disappeared during the holocaust, laid in the ground in front of whatever building they were taken from.
I made a point to stop and read everyone I stepped over to enter a door.

very funny to read these emails and then remember summers wondering whether the leaky pipeline in stem was because women are inherently bad at math

Pro-housing equals pro-environment (at least in California). Think: infill rather than exurbanan sprawl, fewer pollutants incinerated when fire inevitably rips through those communities. Also public transportation cause pro-housing equals pro-transit.

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

The guy who wrote the Olivia Nuzzi piece is the son of Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein which is almost too on the nose

capping a week of stories about elite depravity with a story about a journalist who broke basically every possible ethical rule (and was rewarded for it) to elevate an unqualified wealthy failson who is trying to destroy american public health is, well, it's a lot, tbh

"So Wiener’s more than just an interesting lawmaker from America’s third-Β­weirdest city. His nose-to-grindstone, hardcore policy approach could be a key to a political realignmentβ€”a long-overdue recognition that addressing housing is necessary for the survival of the Democratic Party."

β€œNow show it in the rain,” is a comment that pops up in our feed occasionally, as if the country that cycles 18 billion kilometres while experiencing 217 days of precipitation each year grinds to a halt every single time the skies open.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad infrastructure.

As I have been working with mammals a lot lately, I have had a lot of thoughts about how fur, feathers, or any other filaments affect the silhouette.
A coelophysis with feathers and without. Two completely different animals.

Live your life in such a way that if 20K pages of your files are released and someone builds a database of them, it doesn't crash because too many people want to search it simultaneously.
