13 years ago! And still relevant today, because Cuomo is still (kinda sorta) running for mayor.

An enterprising reporter ought to ask him his thoughts on NY's ability (or lack thereof) to respond to Texas.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

Elizabeth Warren on Why Billionaires Are Doing All They Can to Stop Zohran Mamdani Elizabeth Warren explains why billionaires are boosting Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo to keep Zohran Mamdani from becoming New York City's mayor.

At @rollingstone.com, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social lays out the stakes of our election.

"It turns out there are some billionaires and Wall Street CEOs who can’t stand the idea of a mayor who wants them to pay their fair share to create a city that everyone can afford."

When I’m getting students to write policy reports I ask them to think hard about possible unintended consequences of their recommendations. But apparently in US policy this doesn’t matter any more.

the funniest thing that happened during the pandemic were all the rich people who flounced out of california for texas, got to texas, discovered it sucked, moved back, and then wrote blog posts about their "learnings"

What Trump did to the Rose Garden is exactly what he wants to do to our national parks.

Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

"stick to menswear"

This is not the most damning thing in the review, but I think is the most profound. Those involved in what is essentially cultural criticism are uninterested in the scale and impact of the things they critique. For those who care about governing and institutions, the differences are glaring.

Liz Warren to her absolute credit shows up on CNBC and is willing to call everyone a stupid piece of shit in a way that even Bernie would refrain from

ELIZABETH WARREN: What Zohran is saying is 'I want people to be able to afford to live in NYC'

FABER: But raising taxes in order to do it?

WARREN: Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?

in the future you will all be very jealous of my completely illiterate child

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Firing of BLS commissioner is 'dangerous' Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss her reaction President Trump's firing of BSL chief, whether Congress is able to take action, and much more.

Elizabeth Warren went to CNBC today and destroyed Donald Trump on the economy. Trump is trying to bury this appearance with a tantrum on his failing media site.

Make sure this goes viral instead.

Idaho has become the wild frontier of vaccination policy and public health Idaho charts a new path as trust in public health craters.

Just read this Undark article about vaccine resistance in Idaho. Leaving aside its momentary lapse into foolish both-siderism on the COVID lab-leak nonsense, it's good and very depressing. It centers on a retired radiologist who has gone full MAHA, and seeks to return his corner of ID to the 19th c.

i think i disagree with the idea that the ferritor should have been allowed to follow his own path during his schooling, neglecting assignments and being coddled for his apparent genius. i think, in fact, that this was the problem. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-boy-ge...

Warming waters transforming Greece’s seas | eKathimerini.com The Mediterranean is “boiling” due to climate change, with its waters warming faster than the global ocean average. What does this mean for marine ecosystems – and ultimately, for humans?

Brutal arrest of Black student in Florida shows benefits of recording police from new vantage point A video showing the violent arrest of a Black college student in Florida has sparked calls for drivers to use cameras that show a view from inside their car.

A video that captured the brutal arrest of a Black college student pulled from his car and beaten by officers in Florida has led to an investigation and calls for motorists to consider protecting themselves by placing a camera inside their vehicles.

Did a thread with some discussion of that here: bsky.app/profile/kjep...

it's "cool" that every conservative pundit in the UK basically seems to want to turn the country into Norsefire

He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No
Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.

large parts of UK politics are swinging far-right with very, very frightening speed, and racists are getting increasingly open about expressing their bigotry.

Boeing workers who build fighter jets go on strike The union representing Boeing employees who build fighter jets says they have begun a strike after about 3,200 workers at facilities in St.

RFK Jr. says cancer screenings are too 'woke' now. As an actual doctor, I disagree. | Opinion (USA Today) A 6-centimeter mass. These are the words that shattered my patient’s heart, but ultimately gave her a chance at saving and prolonging her life. Weeks earlier...

As Physicians for a Healthy Democracy, we share Dr. Lew’s outrage. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has saved countless lives through evidence-based screening recommendations. Calling those efforts “woke” is not just ignorant; it is dangerous.

And it looks as though 'Labour' is now to the right even of Reform when it comes to trans people.

And that is a result of the capitalist world we live in. Anything that *could* benefit humans is ultimately meant to either get our revenue or exploit us.

Until we actually build a culture and system that value humans as each truly valuable, these incredible technologies won’t truly exist for us.
