“In financial markets, a bubble occurs when the level of investment in an asset becomes persistently detached from the amount of profit that asset could plausibly generate,” Jared Bernstein and Ryan Cummings write in a guest essay. “A.I. investment fits that pattern.”

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

By allowing for the dismantling of minority districts held by Democrats, a ruling against the VRA could give President Donald Trump and the GOP enough additional seats to lock in the party’s control of the House for a generation. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

On @revealnews.org's “More To The Story,” environmental activist @billmckibben.bsky.social talks about why harnessing the sun is our best chance to rein in the effects of climate change.

I'm sure there are plenty of faculty at colleges and universities across Pennsylvania who can share stories of the profound impact Kirk made on their lives thanks to the harassment campaigns fueled by his Professor Watchlist

Heard about this earlier, and my jaw didn’t drop. You know who else isn’t surprised? Pretty much every Republican.

Trump has cancelled $18B of spending in blue states. He fired more than 4,000 federal employees the same day he sent $20B to Argentina. He is propping up the government of the guy on the left, while firing government officials working for the guy on the right. But those employees also work for us!

East Side is a cool-as-hell Chicago neighborhood that @tedmcclelland.bsky.social wrote a great piece on back in 2021. Hope other Chicagoans will make the trek to support its brave residents this week if ICE continues to terrorize it
