The Renee Good murder is so blatant, indefensible and nuance-free that at least it’ll force the Trump Admin to finally say, “Because FUCK YOU, that’s why.” We can actually make progress from that point if we hit that wall.

For once can we get nutrition advice from nutritionists?
NYT has an economics professor tell readers that eating a low-fiber diet full of saturated fat, cholesterol, and excess protein, mostly from red meat (along with as much alcohol as you want!) is healthy. Nutrition scientists, as well as anyone with common sense, know better.

I think ‘26 is going to get worse before it gets better. I also believe intriguing and hopeful possibilities are beginning to take shape.

One of my least fav questions is "how was work". It ignites a revolutionary flame in me that wants to burn the person asking what is essentially "how was being someplace I don't wanna be doing stuff I don't wanna do for chump change"

I'm no expert but this suggests the solution is not deregulation which will deliver crappier homes for the same debt burden but direct public involvement in building homes. We already have good models here in Australia, the South Australian Housing Trust being one of them:

In Australia today, public housing is seen as an option of last resort for poor families only. But the South Australian Housing Authority spent decades building affordable, quality homes for all. We c...

I get that nothing will come of this but if you want people to think a thing is bad you have to do things like this over and over, no matter how futile it feels or is. There's a reason the GOP voted at least 60 times on pointless attempts to repeal the ACA between 2010 and 2016.
🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.
