Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative. And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

i know everyone's talking about a different doc rn, but Once Upon A Time In Harlem is a must-see - a beautiful, artful homage to a period that still somehow gets overlooked. I talked with director David Greaves about it in my first piece for Playboy 😛😛😛😏😏😏

Not the point of the thread - which you should read! - but this is also why we have so many coupled, apparently redundant phrases showing up as legal terms in English. "Cease and Desist" "Last Will and Testament" "Null and Void" "Terms and Conditions" They're called "Legal Doublets."
The word "attorney" is Norman; the word "lawyer" is Anglo-Saxon. There were courts of law and equity and ALL OF IT WAS A FUCKING MESS. Everyone who inherited this tradition--whether it be England, Canada, Australia, the US, or any other poor fools--has sorted it out in slightly different ways.

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

South Korea secretly shipped Russia fuel, including diesel, and then picked a diplomatic fight with Ukraine. Meanwhile, Moscow is training North Koreans in drone manufacturing and helping them gain battlefield experience that threatens South Korea and the region. My latest for @cepa.org

I was confused why I was getting Maine ads all of a sudden, but I failed to make the Portland/Portland connection. I get so many Talarico and Vindman ads that I thought it was just more of the same.
OOPS GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

It sounds like a wild conspiracy theory, but here is a notable example of how fighting for democracy anywhere is fighting for democracy everywhere: Ukraine hits Russian data centers...and election related misinformation, Trump trolls, and bots drop off social media in the US.
And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger was officially approved this past week. Corporate concentration means more power for CEOs — and less freedom for everyone else. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

you almost have to admire the effective altruists for coming right out and saying “we feel a keen debt to the criminal who stole the money that provided seed funding for Manifund, which is why we’re hiring her and paying her with some of it instead of returning it to FTX creditors”
Fellow FTX executive Caroline Ellison is out of jail, and the Manifund effective altruist grantmaking organization has just let slip they hired her. She “brings specific, useful expertise around finance”, they say, which yeah — much in the same way that Bernie Madoff had very specific expertise.

This is great. It articulates a lot of things that I and my colleagues have been trying to put together, but does it better and more clearly, and draws a clear line between the privatization of research funding, university self-governance, and faculty/worker organizing. Well done. 1/5
The assault on US universities didn't start in 2025. Our new paper traces the decades of corporate capture that made it possible, and why climate research is a primary target. Open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
