Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

St. Pete is doing a lot of great stuff for bikes in its downtown. Bike parking and wayfinding everywhere. Lots of dockless bikes and scooters. Some truly excellent protected bike lanes, especially along what makes up the downtown section of the Pinellas Trail. Green shoots everywhere you look.

A driver caused a massacre in the Bronx today. Ran through a crosswalk and a red light and struck a bunch of people and five cars. What will the city council’s 17 e-bike bills do to address this?

NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan. Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.” www.usccb.org/news/2026/us...

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S.
Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government:
"It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.United States

Given that there is not likely to be a national, bipartisan demand for accountability in the wake of Trump — the major distinction with Nixon — any accountability, civil or criminal, will be a partisan and political project that I think should be pursued as vigorously as possible.

I learned in grad school that “good enough for government work” started as a saying in the 50s and was meant as a positive of government work, in that folks in the private sector would say “this is good enough for government work”, they had done a high quality job. oh how far we’ve come

There's been a growing refrain of "why should we bother learning X if a machine can do it faster" in recent years. And my answer is the same reason we learn to write our own compilers in computer science education. We will always need to educate ourselves in the how and why and the humanity of tech.

Unfortunately NYC is backsliding: people are shifting to e-micro-mobility because transit options are poor, and with that sometimes comes death www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/n...

Staples Rezoning: Results
STATEMENT FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
KAYLA SANTOSUOSSO
For the last several months I have been in negotiations with the developers for the Staples property. While this is likely one of the last rezoning votes I can make in Bay Ridge, negotiations were still heavily shaped by the charter changes that take effect in January.
The developers made clear that if the Council did not approve a modified project, they would take advantage of the new rules to resubmit at their original building - or an even bigger, denser building - for expedited approval and with no wins for our community.Staples Rezoning: Results

what if the real trick to doing political economy right is to use the organizational forms that work best for the specific problem and context you're trying to solve in any given situation, rather than picking one grand unifying theory to rule them all and making everything conform to it

note that "everyone picks the best organizational form for the purpose" will also at least sometimes include equity financed corporations with traditional conceptions of private property rights, unless you coercively prevent that specifically. sometimes corporations are really good at their job.

On 9 September, the Michigan supreme court ruled that the state's sex offender registration act (Sora) cannot be applied retroactively to cases involving offenses committed before the law's relevant date. Michigan's state police, as a result, removed more than 20,000 people whose offenses occurred before 1 July 2011 from the agency's online sex offender database.

When I taught at an all-boys prep school, we'd do an activity where I had them list every sexual term they could think of. They'd often laugh, as many were absurd things meant for Urban Dictionary. We'd then go through how many terms were violent (~85%) and how many were male-dominant (~90%).
