Future analysis about physical and mental health data from 2025-2029 will show that 47's human services, health, disability, education, financial, immigration, transportation, etc policies and legal actions were ruinous to under-resourced/supported people.
Yesterday I called 311 to complain that the Day 1 snow emergency street I live on was only plowed up the middle. Nobody moved parked cars and they didn't tow. So we have two sides of parked cars that have fallen and plowed snow that will freeze and only get deeper through the winter.

Amongst the breathless accolades after yesterday’s presser, I think people are missing the most important part of what Minneapolis Chief O’Hara said: “police have been instructed to keep their riot gear with them at all times.”
Who would that be used against?!

My top three words coincide with my most active time, WNBA season. That's also the source of 90% of my engagement

My most-used words in 2025 were:
1. "wnba" (72×)
2. "lynx" (62×)
3. "game" (50×)
4. "autistic" (38×)
5. "tr*mp" (25×)

Tomorrow from Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias: the Democratic Party will never win elections again unless it stops listening to its far-left extremists like Bill Kristol
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

My close friend has been a comedian in California for 17 years. She said EVERYBODY knew Louis CK was sexually harassing and assaulting women. He was so powerful he just was shutting everyone up and blacklisting people at whim.

He should be shunned from public life
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Do younger people know about the Bush shoe incident?

It's a disgrace to American journalism that no American reporter has tried to bean one of our presidents with a shoe.

Bill Clinton was the most powerful man in the world, and Monica Lewinsky was an intern and his subordinate, and in any other workplace that would be called sexual harassment, and if you don't take power dynamics into account when you talk about things like this, you don't actually understand consent

Saying everyone is a little autistic is akin to saying everyone's a little gay or I don't see color. Even when well intended, it strives to simplify and homogenize experiences that are different from whatever is considered conventional or the normal amount.

We saw this in April and today it's out on AppleTV. If you haven't been introduced to Andrea before, they're sentimental, goofy, and genuinely positive; an antidote for current events. Uncommonly unpaywalled so I thought I'd share @angbabbling.bsky.social

One thing i notice a lot is there’s are a lot of lefty people online for whom being mad at rich people is the extent of their politics.
And if you don’t have a plan of how to position yourself within a power structure then i don’t really have time for your politics.
