It’s a funny little delight of parenting, constantly re-engaging with long lost little bits of knowledge from your own education.
This is the same 2020 study you might have seen before, but it's true. I was gamely riding a lightweight street bike when and where I could, but it wasn't until I got an e-bike that the bike became my main means of transport.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.
Says a lot about him that he's still on twitter :/
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
Democrats are working to quash leftwing protests even harder than the Trump admin — even as Trump’s DOJ deploys a previously unused subsection of federal law to unleash sweeping indictments on First Amendment-protected activity.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

"But you'd have to be a subliterate, brainless, incurious, uninformed moron with the mind of a small child to think that's how the world works." Yes, have you not been paying attention to LITERALLY EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT DOES AND SAYS, IN PUBLIC, ALL THE TIME, FOR A DECADE
Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.
This is extremely true and I continue to think that some part of it is deep, semi-conscious shame & embarrassment. If he's an absolute moron, what does it say about us that we let him get this far? They're stuck in the bluff with him.
lol DOJ is down to the people who put an apostrophe before a plural ‘s’
Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

The Supreme Court said in the Citizens United decision that it would "not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption."

Yes. "They're not scared that Mamdani will be a bad major, they're scared he's gonna be a good mayor"
You don’t have to have an answer for literally every trans related thing; these things can be complicated which is why in a lot of these conversations “I’m not qualified, ask doctors” makes the most sense and is also the most humane answer.
I don’t want a politician prescribing whether…
MAGA hates the most essential parts of America. Dems should say so without caveat or qualificaiton.
It’s certainly the case that no other president WOULD do some of the shit he’s doing…
If this were the Oscars, it would be the lifetime achievement award segment.
Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.
PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.
The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.
Alien archeologists will find the last yellow layer of phone books mixed with AOL CD's and nod knowingly.
We are taking on the Trump-aligned trifecta of AIPAC, AI, and Crypto super PACs. And we’re gonna win.
For anyone who wishes to bring music into collective action, you can join us at a huge Resistance Sing-In with Resistance Revival Chorus & Singing Resistance on March 19th, 6:30 - 8:00pm at The Riverside Church.
We’ll use what we learn to sing at No Kings and ongoing Hands Off NYC actions. Sign up:

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.
