Yes

"Like so many other bits of Times coverage, the whole of the piece is structured as an orchestrated encounter. Some people say this; however, others say this...zero stress put on the relation between those two “sides,” their histories, their sponsors, their relative evidentiary authority"

Am I missing anything? Why are the governors not doing ANYTHING about illegal actions by ICE??

NOT A SINGLE STATE ENTITY HAS POWER???

What the fuck happened to states’ rights??!

They’re not even trying to use it.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

If he implements shawarma law, I'll figure out a way to move to New York #yum

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

here's something cool: the son of the letter carrier on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood (McFeely) is a real letter carrier for the USPS and he's our letter carrier and he's awesome

F and M trains will swap routes between Manhattan and Queens starting in December 2025 We're making this change to improve reliability. Here's what you need to know about how your trip may change. New York City Transit

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already

Boston Mayor Wu

More Tuesday election fun facts:

BTW, it’s even more impressive when you remember she was running against Josh Kraft, Bob Kraft’s son (as in owner of the New England Patriots, Boston royalty) who dropped out after the primary.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

No One Wanted to Finance Their Stadium. Now Every Game Is a Sellout. Building a professional women’s soccer venue was seen as brash. Now the Kansas City Current’s is a blueprint for others.

The stadium for the Kansas City Current -- whose construction 40 banks refused to finance because there had never been a professional stadium built for a women's team -- just finished its second consecutive season of sold-out games.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

This is the meme to end all memes.

It needs to win a Pulitzer.

So great

The word "growth" is a core term in the language of climate politics. As we just saw, climate economists estimate the costs of climate damages relative to the amount of economic growth they project into the twenty-first century, and by and large they assume that such growth will continue no matter how hot and chaotic the planet gets. Their belief in a future of continued economic growth enables another idea sometimes used to justify sustaining the fossil- fuel economy: the idea that economic growth is itself a climate-change solution, a form of environmental protection that will shield the prosperous from climate devastation. This belief is so bipartisan, so ubiquitous, that it's not quite accurate to call it propaganda. It's best understood as a *myth*. This myth is often taken for reality by both fossil-fuel partisans on the right and climate-conscious progressives on the center-left.

Today feels like a good day to remind everyone that there is literally no empirical evidence that economic growth will just continue if the world heats up to, say, 3°C by 2100.

Continued growth is just *assumed* in every economic model of the relationship between temperatures and growth.

These are the overlords we have been waiting for.

A Few Day-After-the-Election Thoughts The clearest read of what happened last night is that, as far...

Helpful analysis from TPM.

"...find candidates suited to their constituencies and focus on cost of living issues and opposition to Donald Trump’s autocracy. Full stop. It’s not more complicated than that. That’s your opposition message."

The open sourced Direct File code is beautiful, a work of true craft. Double shame to have such elegant piece of machinery created for public use shunted off by the anti-public fascists.

Zohran Mamdani Wins and It Is a Celebration of My New York Mamdani will be New York City's first Muslim, socialist mayor. But his victory does—and should—mean much more.

Zohran's win is a city fighting to save itself, I wrote for @inthesetimes.com. And he can only deliver on his promises if the movement stays engage. Tonight we celebrate, tomorrow it's back to work. Read here!

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Viva Antifa!

I sometimes stop and remember that all of this is because we had one Black president, and then two women ran, and this mystical convergence opened the Hellmouth.

Why are we paying a dime in federal taxes on any level? The government is all but disbanded and what it left is a terrorist organization.
