Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

unfortunately, kim il sung's clothes hang a lot better
There are two photos. On the left, there's an image of the newly unveiled Donald Trump bronze statue covered in gold leaf. On the right, there's a bronze statue of North Korea leader Kim Il Sung. Both are wearing tailored outfits, but Trump's outfit is very wrinkly while Sung's clothes hang cleanly.

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

instant fart-sniffer hall of fame post from eric lipton that reads "FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too.

Much of oil and gas pollution is invisible without an optical gas imaging camera. This is how the industry gets away with claiming its methane emissions aren't a problem. They are.

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

tumblr user quasi-normalcy says:

"I don't trust anyone who hasn't acknowledged their capacity for evil.

"I'm just a smol bean uwu" No sir, what you are is someone who is so habituated to thinking of yourself as innocent that you will continue to do so even when you're guity.

And if you convince yourself that you're always and only a victim, you can inflict absolutely monstrous cruelty and never once feel bad about it."

Long before there was national immigration policy, America was still a “show me your papers” country - especially for Black families
In the first three decades of the nineteenth century, free African Americans' interstate mobility became
more difficult as slave and free states passed interlocking laws to restrict their internal migration and settlement. These laws were a blend of outright bans on new Black migration into the state, exile laws mandating African Americans who became free to leave the state (and not return) by a deadline or be re-enslaved, or statutes mandating compliance with administrative burdens to simply stay in a state.

Bees are small, fragile, and easily overlooked. And yet, in their heavy pollen-laden wings, they hold something of the planet's balance. With every flight, with every touch of the petals, the bee gathers not only nectar—it gathers life, color, hope.
