Metro D Line subway extension to Beverly Hills will open on Friday May 8 2026. Four new miles of heavy rail subway. Three new stations on Wilshire: La Brea, Fairfax, La Cienega. Ride from Beverly Hills to DTLA in 20 minutes!

My team and I have been anticipating this for months. It is unconstitutional and illegal.

The media should note: Last time he issued an EO about voting, we sued and won. If Trump issues such an order we will sue again and we will win again.

All hands on deck, folks. This will effectively eliminate all books by queer authors and about queer lives, even books with secondary characters, books where the author or a character uses they/them pronouns. This bill will erase identities and harm kids. And it won't stop at public schools.

The DOJ's handling of the Epstein files has all the stench of a cover up.

Pam Bondi does not have the right to pick and choose which Epstein files to release to the public.

The American people were promised the truth.

Fascinating, perhaps. Horrifying, more likely. 😥

more good news about the HPV vaccine, this time from the Karolinska Institutet and other colleagues from Sweden.

Why Biden-era clean energy investment policies had limited political returns | PNAS The Biden Administration enacted the largest federal policy framework to incentivize clean energy and decarbonization in U.S. history. We examine w...

Fascinating new research paper asks: why did Biden receive so little political credit for his enormous investments in manufacturing? Turns out people give all the credit to governors (ironically, in this case, mostly red-state governors who were hostile to the policy!).

A graphic shows a chart of manufacturing job losses from May to Dec. 2025. The headline reads: Golden Age of Manufacturing? 8 Months of Straight Job Loss

Under Donald Trump, manufacturing jobs are down by 100,000.

Three books of stamps, each featuring a different person and what they did: Sophie McDougall was a Métis Elder and Language Keeper; Julia Haogak Ogina preserved and revitalized the drum dances of the Inuit; and Bruce Starlight is one of the last known speakers of the Tsúut’ina language, and has worked to preserve it and create teaching materials.

These are the backs of the stamp booklets with little biographies of the three spiffy people, presented in both English and French. Inside there’s also a bit of the language that they’re preserving. Super cool that these folks are doing that work and being recognized for it.

I had to go to the post office to grab some Canadian stamps for Canadian peeps who subscribed to Oberon’s Post Club and whoa dang, I learned about cool people! There’s a series of folks who have worked to preserve their language/cultures. So if you’re into philately or rad people, behold:

'fraudulent amber alert' is the sort of thing that simply must have decades in prison attached to it because of how corrosive it is to one of the few remaining high-trust law enforcement/public safety mechanisms.

Just want to make sure: Only people NOT mentioned in the Epstein files will be forced to testify, right?

Asking for a "friend."

Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews | CNN Three interviews related to a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago appear to be among the missing files in the DOJ release.

The problem is the FBI missing files implicate Trump. And the crime alleged is horrific.

Between the missing interviews, the storage lockers nationwide and the acres of ranch and golf courses, the horrific will just get more horrific. Keep pushing. Keep digging.

Donald Trump told Congress that voting was a privilege. My life's work is defending voting as a fundamental right.

The Unstoppable Alysa Liu Watching a young woman be free was the joy I didn’t know I needed

I don't follow figure skating, so I couldn't figure out why I started sobbing while watching Alysa Liu's gold medal-winning performance.

Then it dawned on me: I was watching a young woman be free.

Freedom of Speech is not Freedom to be Heard.

"Don't engage, just block" is part of what makes Bluesky awesome

Yipee 👍
