There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

Amazing. Speed limits now.

Seen at an anti-war protest in Manhattan today.

Patriotism doesn’t mean white people saluting the flag, it means being being good enough to make people want to come here and strong enough to take care of everyone who does.

Geology is not boring!

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Trump 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell." Trump today: "He's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him." Every news story will include both clips, right?

This is fascinating/weird/scary

LOL

I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like: --Canada's cool, leave them be --Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus --We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it --Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

This (very long) thread is America. This is what we do.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Ballooning and kiting at Huntley Meadows Park (Virginia) sounds like a lot of fun if you don't know what that actually is.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Anything that can make me laugh out loud deserves to be shared.

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €. Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day. Leadership.

Everyone kept telling me to join so here I am!! Please repost this to signal boost so everyone can find me?? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The NYTimes Tech Guild is on strike and they built us all games to play while they’re striking because they’re awesome 😎 Go waste some time and clear your head and toss them a few bucks if you can 💵 nytimesguild.org/tech/guild-b...

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.

I have been introduced to Yacht Rock, and my Gen X heart is happy.

This is my good boy Loki. He's fearful, leash aggressive, and untrustworthy off lead. He has a strong prey drive and, although he's a mutt, obviously has some guard dog breed in him. The first few years with him were tough. It never once occurred to me to have him put down for being the dog he is.

Substitute "wife", and same.
