We are expected to keep our kids healthy in a climate catastrophe, without sufficient health care, during a time of violence and fascism, where the world is ruled by technofascists and oligarchs (which my teen says I pronounce incorrectly).

Hi, I’m sidewalk bicyclist

Why this is a good news let’s not forget that the real issue is that death penalty is barbarous.

I don’t understand why the NY Times let me rant against the Times on its own website. Healy seems like a sincere person, and I give him credit for making it happen. But the NY Times needs to stop pretending this is some brief detour in American politics when, in fact, a dictatorship is descending.

Yet another issue where the only reasonable position is "everybody goes to jail." Anything less is incompatible with the rule of law.

They’re both carrying the same number of people - and probably the same amount of cargo.

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

Heh heh heh

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

Demonizing Democracy The Right has long derided any attempt at leveling racial and social hierarchies as anti-American “socialism” or “communism.” What they are actually fighting is equality. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

A new study identifies "a statistically significant doubling of the global warming rate during 2011–25 (0.40 °C per decade) compared to 1971–2025 (0.20 °C per decade)." It also claims that "the ensemble mean of 26 climate models fails to capture the observed doubling of the warming."

Trump is desperately trying to incite a riot before the election so he can declare an emergency

San Diego's problem isn't an Iranian attack. It's a climate-change-enhanced hurricane.
